Wicklow Rapeseed Oil
Introducing a uniquely flavoursome & healthy cooking oil produced on our family farm at Hawkstown Lower, Co Wicklow in the Garden of Ireland.
Wicklow Rapeseed Oil was launched in November 2013 and the range also includes our 2 Cal Spray flavoured oils, ideal for those healthy slimmer’s.
Our success to date has been due to our uniquely flavoursome Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oils and the support of Supervalu’s Taste of Local programme, offering Wicklow Rapeseed Oil a route to market. This programme helps create thousands of jobs nationwide as every small company needs staff, PR agencies, materials, advertising, accountants, etc.
We grow Oilseed Rape on the family farm and pay local farmers a premium price for growing oilseed rape. A certain variety of seed is used that thrives in the Garden of Irelands finest soil and produces a flavoursome healthy cooking oil of Extra Virgin standard. Before launching Wicklow Rapeseed Oil, we spent two years researching the market, attending courses and trying different varieties of oilseed rape to produce the perfect flavoursome Rapeseed Oil which is light in flavour and does not taint the flavour of your dish.
“Oils are very like wine’s, the quality and flavour are affected by various parameters from Farm to Table; these include seed variety, climate, soil fertility, drying techniques, seed cleaning, cold pressing seed and oil filtration. We carefully ensure each stage is carried out to achieve 100% satisfaction resulting in a light and nutty flavoursome cooking oil.”
Wicklow Rapeseed Oil is a healthy “must have” cooking oil. Our oils are high in Vitamin E & Omega 3, 6, & 9 which help lower Cholesterol & keep a Happy Heart. They have less than half the saturated fat content (6%) when compared to all other cooking oils (e.g. olive oil 14%, sunflower oil 13%). The High Smoke Point of over 200°C makes Wicklow Rapeseed Oil perfect for all types of cooking without affecting the nutritional value of the oil.
