New from Somerset farmer Andy Fussell - Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil.
The goodness and natural flavours of the rapeseed oil are preserved by cold pressing this rapeseed just once – nothing is added. Naturally loaded with golden goodness, rapeseed has natural health-giving properties. It is low in saturated fat, and high in Omega 3, making it an excellent choice for anyone trying to reduce their cholesterol levels.
Andy comments: “It’s always an exciting time of year when the rapeseed crop is harvested and I see the new season seeds being freshly pressed. We press the seeds in small batches so all our bottles contain fresh rapeseed oil. It’s gloriously golden, rich oil with a gentle nutty taste.”
It is also a great source of the powerful anti-oxidant Vitamin E. Compared with olive oil, rapeseed oil has half the amount of saturated fats and has higher levels of mono-unsaturates and Omega’s 3, 6 and 9. Unlike many other oils, including olive oil, its health benefits are retained even at high temperatures (240oC smoke point) so it’s especially good for cooking, marinating, baking, frying and roasting.
Fussels’ award-winning Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil has a RRP £5.05 (500ml) and is available from Tesco stores throughout the south west, select Waitrose stores and independent shops nationwide. All Fussels products are also available to order online www.fusselsfinefoods.co.uk.
