by Lawrence Frohn, April 26, 2019
Not sure whether to buy cold pressed rapeseed oil or olive oil? Here’s our top 8 reasons why the homegrown option is far and away the better choice!
1. It’s healthier
2. It has a higher smoke point
3. It is what it says it is
4. It benefits the British economy
5. It’s more versatile
6. It’s cheaper than the equivalent olive oil
7. It’s low in food miles
8. It tastes delicious

Content: It’s the ultimate all-rounder and the perfect choice for cooks who would rather have one bottle in their cupboard instead of three or four (or more!). 6. It’s cheaper than the equivalent olive oil
‘Extra virgin’ means extracted from a first pressing without the use of any chemicals, while ‘cold pressed’ means extracted solely by mechanical means without using heat (which destroys the delicate flavours as well as its nutrients). Our rapeseed oil is both ‘extra virgin’ and ‘cold pressed’ as well as ‘single origin’. The equivalent standard olive oil would cost at least four times as much as Hillfarm oil. Olive oils at similar prices, meanwhile, are a blend of oils from various countries. Even the best-known Italian brand olive oils at our price point are made by blending varying quality oils from various EU countries. 7. It’s low in food miles
Why buy something that has travelled over a thousand miles when there is a healthier, more versatile and, we would say, more delicious equivalent product being produced on your doorstep? 8.
