Extra Virgin Oils

Do I sense an ad coming on?

However I'd say, if you are genuine,try Google or the better type of food shop/deli.

I buy rapeseed oil from Morrison's; this is my nearest supermarket.
The brand I buy is Borderfield EV cold pressed rapeseed oil.
I alternate with EV olive oil.

Tesco, Waitrose and Lidl do organic cold-pressed oils.

I am sure other supermarkets and farm shops do too.

Clearspring does an organic rapeseed oil. Available all over it seems

I only use olive oil. Keeps the blood pressure down as an added bonus!

Interesting responses, thanks. Tried all the supermarket ones. I did omit to add that I was also looking for a cold pressed type as that retains the nutrients. Otherwise the oil (even organic) will have been heat treated thus virtually useless except for cooking and frying. I use Rapeseed because that has a better omega 6/3 ratio whereas Olive oil doesn't (https://www.healthyfood.com/healthy-shopping/which-is-healthier-olive-oil-or-canola-rapeseed-oil/).

So it is an add?

I think so MD
They’re getting crafty?

Yeh, I add-ed it in case anyone interested!

Have you tried Biona? - just been to look and that's what I bought last time. Like the Clearspring (mentioned above) it's also cold pressed and organic. Again, widely available.

I don't use sunflower oil. Just rape and olive.

You have to give them full marks for trying.
Never underestimate a Gransnetter? 🤣

You must have very exquisite tastebuds is all I can say.

Absolutely!

olive and rapeseed oils are very good for health. You can get cold pressed in any of the big supermarkets. The other seed oils are used to stretch those two oils to make them cheaper.

Seed oils are bad on the whole, however I sometimes need sunflower oil and have just recaived cold pressed sunflower oil from my supplier, healthy supplies. Mr organic organic cold pressed

Good makes are clearspring, biona and mr organic

Yes, but he/she isn't very good at links 😁

The OP has posted at various times before.
Allex our local Italian restaurant ships olive oil in from Italy in bulk, so get a discount.

Oh, dam! I've forgotten to provide a link so everyone can buy my products. So here it is :www.marydroll.eu.

I like to buy UK products but there doesn't seem to be organic and cold pressed. Don't forget farmers use glyphosate in the UK and rapeseed will have been sprayed. Also, if it is not cold pressed it will have been heated and therefore most of the nutrients destroyed.

In November 2023 the European Commission allowed glyphosate use for another 10 years.

This is terrific rapeseed oil. Not organic, but LEAF & cold pressed. If you live locally, lots of shope stock it, otherwise there's a list of stockists:

Fake virgin oil is now commonplace.

Worrying to say the least!
