Rapeseed Oil

Rapeseed oil comes from the brassica family of plants, the same family of plants as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. At our farm we go on to cold-press all of our rapeseeds, which means that we press the seeds with a steel press; they are not pre-heated in any way allowing the oil to retain all of its flavour, aroma, and nutritional value.

When compared to other cooking oils, rapeseed oil has the lowest levels of saturated fat when compared to any other oil, including olive oil. Although we now know that there are some good qualities associated with saturated fat, it is still a good idea to keep an eye on our intake, especially if we are watching our waistlines.
