Cold pressed oils are extremely versatile in the kitchen with each oil having it's own distinctive taste and characteristics. This makes them ideal for everything from salad dressings and marinades to dips and drizzling. Some oils have high smoke points making them perfect for baking, roasting, stir frying and deep and shallow frying.
Nearly all cold pressed oils are a natural source of Vitamin E, an important antioxidant, beneficial to general wellbeing.
Most oils also contain the Essential Fatty Acids commonly known as Omega 3 and 6.
These products, which are just cold pressed and filtered, result in oils that are naturally free from trans fats and low in saturated fat, totally in line with Government advice to reduce both saturates and trans fats from the diet.

Our members recycle on-farm waste and conserve energy where possible.
They continually assess the environmental impact of their farming and pressing practices, and are constantly seeking ways to improve them further.
