About
During late spring and summer, crop fields in the South Island come to life with the golden flowers of premium rapeseed and sunflower. We cold-press the precious oils from the seed. No chemicals. No heat. The oils retain their fresh cold pressed flavours and high nutritional qualities.
Perfect for dressings, salads and dips and the high smoke point means they are ideal for frying, roasting and baking too.
Award Winning
The Good Oil has earned top honours at the Healthy Food Guide Awards and NZ Artisan Awards 2024, and has now taken home Gold in the 2025 Outstanding Food Producer Awards. Minimally processed and GE-free, our cold-pressed oils offer a healthier, more affordable choice.
