Oils

Using my mechanical spiral seed crusher I cold press my award winning gourmet oil just once to produce an extra virgin culinary oil that has a light, nutty and almost sweet pea taste to it.

Gourmet Oils

Each infused oil and drizzle comes in a handy 250ml bottle, with the original rapeseed oil in a 500ml bottle. They are also available in larger catering sizes.

It is also more nutritious than olive oil, with a higher Omega 3, 6, 9 and vitamin E content, drop for drop, and interestingly my friends and customers tell me they also prefer the cleaner taste compared to olive oil. Whatever you prefer, I find it just perfect for frying, baking or making delicious drizzles for my salad leaves.

My cold pressed rapeseed oil has won several Taste Awards which I attribute to my selection of a unique variety of rapeseed that is particularly well suited to the soil and climate of Dorset.

Wild garlic is also well suited to these climes, it grows in abundance on the woodland floors throughout Dorset from March to May, producing a beautiful white floral carpet in Spring, and it is from only the tenderest wild garlic leaves picked on a spring dew morning in April that I slowly infuse my oil, creating my acclaimed Dorset Wild Garlic oil.

For those of my customers who prefer something a little hotter and exotic, I also make a chipotle infused oil, following the notes I found in one of Uncle Archibald’s recipe books. It is slightly smoky with a great kick and it adds a suprising and delightful flavour note to soups and Mexican fajitas or quesadillas.

Take a look at my recipe books for some inspired and inventive ideas for using infused oils... they give a whole new taste sensation to your cooking.
