This rapeseed oil delivers a really good , clean flavour , with nuttiness coming through well .” While Kentish Condiments Honey & Mustard Dressing stood out for its “ appealing appearance with mustard seeds visible with an aromatic , sharp aroma . The flavour is well balanced and nothing overpowers . It is a winning combination of rapeseed oil , honey and mustard seeds . A versatile produce which can be used as a dressing or marinade .”
The rapeseed oil making process starts with carefully selecting the best variety of rapeseed and where it ’ s grown , this is the secret behind producing oils and dressings of such high quality ; everything is chosen specifically and grown right here in the Garden of England . During harvest season , the seed is combined , cleaned and stored ready for pressing , but the secret behind the oil ’ s distinct colour and flavour is the individual filtering steps that have to take place . Cold pressing is a chemical free process that extracts the oil from the rapeseed using ingenious machinery and filtration systems . These systems are carefully monitored to ensure the correct temperature and conditions , this is the key to the best quality rapeseed oil .
Once the seed has undergone its pressing and filtering processes , every bottle is produced by hand in small batches in their warehouse just outside of
Canterbury . Every product produced is quality checked and packaged with care and love . Not only that , Kentish Oils Rapeseed Oil comes with an additional tick ; it has been a SALSA accredited farm-based unit since 2008 , meaning that the oil has 100 % traceability back to the field the oilseed has been grown on .
The Kentish Rapeseed Oil as a standalone ingredient offers endless possibilities , whether you ’ re baking , roasting or frying , it ’ s extremely versatile , as well as being 100 % gluten free and suitable for vegans . The powerhouse product doesn ’ t just stop here though , oh no , the Original Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is also used as the foundation for their range of Kentish Condiments – dressings , marinades and mayonnaises , made using other handpicked local and quality ingredients . The Honey and Mustard Dressing is made using rapeseed oil , British honey and wholegrain mustard , offering the perfect balance of sweet and fieriness ; the perfect addition to a seasonal salad , or as a marinade for chicken wings , pork or salmon .
Alongside the Original Rapeseed Oil , are six blended flavoured oils , including : Chilli , Garlic & Herb , Lemon , Garden Mint , and Basil & Rosemary .
