Hillfarm Rapeseed Oil

If you’re on the lookout for alternative cooking oil, Hillfarm’s Rapeseed Oil is a great change to the ubiquitous likes of olive oil. Nothing wrong with olive oil of course, but if you’re after a different taste, this rapeseed oil lends a certain nuttiness to your culinary efforts, somewhere in between the flavours of sunflower and pumpkin seeds. You could liberally drizzle the oil over summer salads, or use it to crisp up your roast chicken in the oven, and roast those Sunday potatoes. It works particularly well as a roasting oil due to its high burning point, and would be just as suitable for stir-frys and pan-fried moments. Besides great flavour and versatility in the kitchen, rapeseed oil is also rich in omega 3 and free from preservatives. Hillfarm’s own production comes packaged in a sleek black bottle, adorned with a 2005 Great Taste Gold award stamp, to remind you that there’s substance to their product as well as winning looks. Available from Waitrose nationwide and selected Sainsbury’s.
