Cold pressed Rapeseed Oil Information



Pure Flavour is really excited to say 'hello' from our new Blog! We hope to let you get to know our team and what we are passionate about, but more importantly we want to let you know about our fantastic local producers and local shops selling our delicious Pure Flavour products.


For the next few weeks we will be sharing the life of Quex Park Estate, we use their delicious Rapeseed Oil. Wowee, have you tried it? So fantastic, an Extra Virgin Kentish Cold Pressed Oil just full of the food stuff.


Ideal for roasting, stir fries, marinades and dressings, with a good source of Vitamin E. High in monounsaturated fats (good fats). Lower in saturated fats (bad fats) than Olive Oil.


I am still shocked in magazines such as Good Food, that they still rarely use Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, let's persuade them to change! I use it all the time, we use Olive oil occasionally, but the health benefits and the fact that it was grown up the road is hugely important to me. The whole family love it.


We Rapeseed oil being produced all over the UK and even being stocked in our supermarkets - I see no reason why everyone is not using is, especially when it is no more expensive than a good quality Olive Oil.

For our delicious Pure Flavour home-made ready meals, we use Quex Foods, Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil, Nicci (our wonderful Roux Brothers trained chef), said "I have been thrilled with Quex Foods Rapeseed Oil, the quality is fantastic and it tastes delicious - it really makes such a fabulous addition to our wonderful range of locally produced ingredients for our Pure Flavour ready meals"


So a little bit more information about the good stuff and why we should choose a delicious oil grown and cold pressed locally: Omega 3,6 & 9 - cold pressed rapeseed oil contains a natural balance of Omega 3,6 and 9 oils, making it a great source for these essential fatty acids. 'Good Oils' are essential in bodily functions, including aiding cholesterol reduction, and maintaining a healthy heart. Vitamin E - cold pressed rapeseed contains natural Vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. This is used by the body to fight against the effects of free radicals (ageing toxins), keeping us fresh and full of energy.


So there you go!! Go out and get your locally grown Rapeseed Oil and support your local community
