Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil

Cold pressed rapeseed oil is England's answer to extra virgin olive oil. 

While I was at Christina's over the weekend, Margaret Joseph, the lady who cooked that delicious Malaysian prawns, talked about cold pressed rapeseed oil.

I was cooking a Teochew fish, bua ziang ze gai he 半煎煮個魚, while watching Margaret cooked the special prawns, and she explained about the wonders of this wonderful oil.

I noticed the wonderful taste of the fish was really an improvement on my previous Teochew fish. So I thought I was going to buy at least a bottle of this wonder oil.

I had a voucher from Waitrose and therefore on Tuesday I bought the Leckford Estate cold pressed rapeseed oil which on offer at Waitrose for £4, for free. I am going to buy the Hill Farm cold pressed rapeseed oil today with MyWaitrose card and get a 20 percent discount and paying a 500 ml bottle for £3.40.  

I am so pleased I have discovered this oil. 

So what is so good about cold pressed rapeseed oil?

First, the food taste much better than other oil.
It has less saturated fat than olive oil - less than half.
You can cook your food at a higher temperature and this means you can fry your food.
It has good oils such as omega 3 in it.
It is less expensive than olive oil. 
It is planted and made in England.
You can use it to dress your salad, to fry your food etc and you can make life less complicated and just use rapeseed oil!
