Hillfarm Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil 500ml

Hillfarm Rapeseed Oil

Hillfarm Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil 500ml is a British rapeseed oil with a mild, naturally nutty flavour, beautiful golden colour and smooth, velvety texture. Made using a cold pressing process, it is wonderfully versatile, working just as well for frying and roasting as it does for salad dressings, baking and finishing dishes.

Its high smoke point makes cold pressed rapeseed oil a practical choice for everyday cooking, particularly when you want an oil that can handle higher cooking temperatures without bringing an overpowering flavour to the dish. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, whisk it into vinaigrettes, use it for crispy roast potatoes or swap it into cakes and bakes where a neutral, gently nutty oil works well.

Hillfarm is the original British producer of cold pressed rapeseed oil, producing its oil from rapeseed grown on the family farm in Suffolk. At i4C, we love products that have a genuine connection to our part of the country, and Hillfarm is a great example. It is the sort of bottle that quickly becomes an everyday kitchen staple because there are so many different ways to use it.

What is the difference between cold pressed and refined rapeseed oil?

Cold pressed rapeseed oil is mechanically pressed without the intensive refining processes associated with standard refined vegetable oils. This allows it to retain its characteristic golden colour and distinctive flavour, making it particularly useful when the taste of the oil forms part of the finished dish.

Is British rapeseed oil similar to olive oil?

They can often be used for many of the same dishes, but they have different flavour profiles. Extra virgin olive oil can range from fruity and grassy to peppery, whereas cold pressed rapeseed oil generally has a milder, nuttier character. This makes rapeseed oil particularly versatile when you do not want the oil to dominate other ingredients.

Why is rapeseed oil good for baking?

Its liquid consistency makes rapeseed oil useful in cakes, muffins and other bakes where oil is used instead of solid fat. Its relatively subtle flavour also pairs easily with ingredients such as chocolate, citrus, apples, carrots, nuts and warming spices.
