How Our Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil Is Made

From oilseed rape grown on our Norfolk farm to harvesting, cold pressing, filtering and bottling, every stage is handled with care to create golden rapeseed oil with natural flavour and quality.

From Seed to Bottle

Follow the journey of our cold pressed rapeseed oil, from oilseed rape grown on the farm to seeds harvested, pressed, filtered and bottled ready for your kitchen.

Step 1

It all starts on the farm, where our oilseed rape is carefully grown from seed before being harvested and cold pressed into golden rapeseed oil. Every stage begins with the land, giving us full control over the quality, flavour, and care that goes into every bottle.

Step 2

Our combine harvester carefully harvests the seeds from the oilseed rape plant once the crop is ready. The seeds are then taken back to the farm, where they can begin the next stage of their journey towards becoming our cold-pressed rapeseed oil.

Step 3

The harvested seeds are then stored on the farm before being pressed using a mechanical cold pressing method, with no added heat. This gentle process helps retain the natural flavour, colour, and nutritional benefits of the oil. Once pressed, the oil is filtered twice to create a clean, golden finish before it is bottled.

Step 4

Our combine harvester gathers the oilseed rape seeds once the crop is fully ready, separating them from the plant as it moves through the field. The harvested seeds are then taken back to the farm, where they are stored carefully before moving on to the pressing stage. This keeps the whole process close to home, from growing and harvesting through to cold pressing and bottling.
