Flavoured Rapeseed Oils

We have recently been at Chatsworth Christmas market and it has been great to meet our customer in person again and talk about our range of products with them. One of questions we always get asked is how to use our flavoured rapeseed oils. If you haven’t cooked with a flavoured rapeseed oil before it can seem quite daunting. No one wants to run the risk of ruining a favourite recipe. So here is our guide to cooking with flavoured rapeseed oil.

Firstly, a little goes a long way. Our flavoured rapeseed oils really do pack a flavour punch, so bare this in mind when using them. Make sure you adapt any other or similar ingredients within your recipe too. If you are using our chilli flavoured rapeseed oil for example, don’t also add in extra fresh chilli! The flavour from the oil will be more than enough. This also applied to our garlic flavoured rapeseed oil!

If you are using our thai favoured rapeseed oil this will provide a whole host of flavours to your dish, meaning that you really can reduce the amount of other spices and flavours that you plan to add.

An oil which is often used in both cooking and baking is our lemon flavoured rapeseed oil. Using rapeseed oil in baking helps improve the taste and texture of your cake. The added lemon favour is a great way to include a light and fresh taste.

A flavoured rapeseed oil such as our smoked flavoured rapeseed oil is great for adding a smokey depth of flavour to dishes. We hear from a lot of our vegetarian and vegan customers that this oil is a great way to get a smokey flavour into lasagne dishes which might otherwise require bacon for the same level of taste. To ensure the smoked flavour runs right through your dish, sauté your onions in the smoked flavoured rapeseed oil at the start of the recipe.

Our favoured rapeseed oils can be used outside of the cooking process too. Something like our basil flavoured rapeseed oil is ideal for dressing salads and soups. Try a drizzle on top of your humble tomato soup to give it a new twist. The garlic flavoured rapeseed oil in our collection is perfect with our balsamic vinegar for dipping, as is our smoked flavoured rapeseed oil too.
