Premium Oils

These oils not only meet the culinary demands of the discerning chef, but in line with the increasing need for a healthy eating lifestyle, most of them have been chosen for their specific nutritional qualities.

Avocado

Our Extra Virgin Avocado oil is smooth, rich & has a slightly buttery taste. It doesn’t overpower food with a strong flavour; it simply enhances the taste of a wide variety of dishes. We source our Avocado Oil primarily from New Zealand and South America (Chile), where it is cold pressed to protect the valuable nutrients. It is clean tasting with no greasy aftertaste, making it ideal for a whole host of usages! Use to sauté potatoes or simply drizzle over steamed vegetables for a taste sensation without the guilt of butter!

Macadamia Nut Oil

A rich, buttery oil, suited to both hot & cold applications, including frying, baking & roasting. It is famed as one of the world’s healthiest oils, due to its amazingly high content of Monounsaturated Fats – even higher than olive oil! Use of the oil is well promoted in heart-healthy eating programs.

Our Macadamia Nut oil is sourced from the original home of Macadamia nuts, Australia, as well as South Africa.

This exquisite oil is extracted by cold pressing Macadamia nuts to produce a golden coloured oil. Cold pressing the nuts means that all the valuable nutrients are protected

Pumpkinseed Oil

A deliciously nutty oil, rich in flavour & colour, perfect for an array of gourmet dishes. Not only does it taste great, Pumpkin Seed oil is one of the most nutritious specialty oils. Pumpkin Seed oil meets the trend towards fresh, health-conscious cooking & is quickly gaining a reputation amongst chefs worldwide. Sprinkle over risotto, roasted vegetables, pasta, fish or chicken before serving or drizzle over goats cheese as a simple tasty appetizer.

Our Pumpkin Seed oil is sourced from Austria in Europe, where traditional methods are used to grow, harvest & press the Pumpkin seeds.   

After slightly roasting the seeds, the oil is extracted by cold pressing the seeds to produce a dark green coloured oil. Cold pressing the seeds is important in protecting the Omega content of the oil.

Flax seed Oil

Bursting with Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, adding Flax-seed oil to your diet is an easy way to improve your well-being. Sourced from Flax-seeds grown locally in the UK and cold pressed to protect the Omega benefits, this deliciously nutty oil is unique in the fact that it’s shelf stable, even in a clear glass bottle! Mix with peanut butter before spreading on rice cakes, bread or toast, or combine a teaspoon with banana, berries and milk to make a delicious smoothie.

Hempseed Oil

Our Hempseed oil is extracted from hemp seeds grown in the UK. The oil is extracted by cold pressing the seeds, which is needed to protect the unique nutritional profile of the oil. Working with one of the most experienced growers in Europe, with superior knowledge of the seed & harvesting techniques, this oil is consistently smooth, nutty & flavourful. Drizzle over soup, pasta or stir-fries or use in a wide variety of dips such as pesto, bruschetta and mayonnaise.

Organic Sunflower Oil

Grown under organically certified conditions, our Organic Sunflower Oil is the ideal ‘all round’ oil that can be used extensively in numerous applications. It is perfect as a base for salad dressings, can be used to sauté meat and vegetables or even to fry chips and potato wedges.

White Truffle Oil

White truffles are sometimes known as the "fruit of the woods” and can be used to add wonderful flavour to a whole host of dishes. Ideal for adding depth and a distinct flavour to risottos and can be added to stews, gravy, stuffing and sauces for an exquisite flavour.

Fairtrade Brazil Nut Oil

The Fairtrade movement promotes better prices, acceptable working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in developing countries.

The Brazil nuts used to make our Fairtrade Brazil Nut Oil are only grown in a specific region in the Amazon rainforest that covers parts of Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. The trees grow pods, which contain many Brazil nuts arranged like the segments of an orange. One tree can grow up to 300 pods in one year, which drop to the floor during the rainy season. The oil is Cold-pressed, un-refined, and extra virgin.

Our Fairtrade Brazil Nut Oil can be used extensively in both sweet and savoury dishes. It is perfect for brushing over a steak before grilling, drizzling over roasted vegetables or as an ingredient for pastries, muffins and cakes. It is also healthy, containing Omega 3, 6 and 9. It’s an excellent source of selenium (an antioxidant), it’s low in saturates and contains no cholesterol.
