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.
