Eden Yard Rapeseed Oils

From a farm in the rolling countryside near Penrith in Cumbria, Eden Yard grows the sunny yellow rapeseed plant that makes a bold and bright statement in our fields in late spring. This is then turned into one of the healthiest and most popular oils around, beloved by professional chefs and home cooks alike for its mildly nutty taste and high smoke point. Often stocked in Michelin-starred restaurants, the oils are a taste of Cumbrian quality that can be brought to your own kitchen.

Created with sustainability and taste in mind, Eden Yard’s rapeseed oils are both delicious and gentle on our planet.

Caring for the environment

Rapeseed oil continues to grow in popularity and comes with many benefits, both to our health and to the environment. Eden Yard is particularly keen to make the most of these qualities, ensuring that the entire process, from planting to shipping, is as eco-friendly and environmentally gentle as possible.

Because it’s grown in the UK (in fact, just a short distance away from our Pooley Bridge store), Eden Yard’s oils help reduce the food miles that come with oils shipped from abroad. Using cold pressing to obtain the oil from the seed, the extraction process also avoids the use of harmful chemicals or additional heat.

To reduce their environmental impact even further, Eden Yard takes great care in their production process. At their Red Tractor Assured farm in the Eden Valley, they plant and graze animals in a way that cares for the land, making use of crop rotation and carefully timed sheep grazing to reduce soil erosion and add nutrients.

With their sustainable soil management programme and the natural care of the owners, Eden Yard’s rapeseed oils are an excellent choice. Browse our collection, which includes both the original Cumbrian rapeseed oil, flavoured oils, and even a gift box if you just can’t choose!

Rapeseed oil is quickly growing in popularity due to both its nutritional values and cooking properties. As one of the healthiest cooking oils, it is also a firm favourite amongst chefs due to its mild nutty taste and high smoke point.

Cold pressing the seed gently extracts the superior oil without using heat or chemicals, to produce a healthy, pure product. Grown in Britain it can also help to reduce food miles.

HIGH IN OMEGA 3, 6 AND 9

These essential fatty acids, also found in fish, can help to reduce cholesterol and maintain healthy heart, brain and joint function. The optimal ratio of omega 3 to 6 is also naturally occurring in rapeseed oil.

HIGH IN VITAMIN E

A natural and powerful antioxidant benefitting the immune system, hair and skin.

LESS SATURATED FATS

Rapeseed oil has less saturated fats than any other commonly used cooking oil. With half the saturated fat of olive oil, it helps to maintain a healthy heart and is a valuable part of a healthy balanced diet.

HIGHER SMOKE POINT

Rapeseed oil can be heated to higher temperatures (230c) compared to other cooking oils like olive oil, making it ideal to cook with as it retains its nutritional benefits, taste and colour.

You can use rapeseed oil like any other cooking oil! Roast your potatoes, fry the eggs, bake a cake, mix a salad dressing, make a hummus dip! We’d love to see your creations!
