50% less saturated fat than olive oil

The Good Oil contains 7% saturated fat. This equates to 6g of saturated fat per 100ml, which is half the amount of saturated fat that is in olive oil.

Can I use The Good Oil instead of Olive Oil?2023-09-19T02:42:26+00:00

Yes, similarly to Extra Virgin (Cold Pressed) Olive Oils, The Good Oil is a high quality, healthy everyday cooking oil which is great for salads and dips. The Good Oil also has a higher smoke point than your typical Olive Oil which makes it perfect for BBQ’s, frying and roasting.

What is the taste of the rapeseed oil?2022-09-14T23:19:03+00:00

The extra virgin rapeseed oil has a delicate mildly nutty taste, delicate aroma which compliments other food flavours without overpowering and is richly golden in appearance. Making it the ideal oil for New Zealand’s diverse cooking styles.

What can I use The Good Oil for?2023-04-18T02:56:08+00:00

Ideal for roasting, frying, dressings, baking and BBQ’s. Due to the premium high oleic seed and cold pressing process, The Good Oil maintains the delicious flavour through low to high temperatures – a versatile cooking oil perfect for everyday use.

What does high oleic mean?2023-04-18T02:56:14+00:00

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Using High Oleic oilseed, means the Good Oil has a higher monounsaturated fat content and which influences the heat stability of the oil and produces a higher smoke point with lower saturated & polyunsaturated fat content.

What is the benefit of Cold Pressing?2022-09-14T22:57:55+00:00

Cold pressed oils are healthier. By cold pressing our high oleic seeds we maintain naturally high amounts of vitamin E, less saturated fat and a higher smoke point which is a lot safer for your health when cooking.

Why is it called The Good Oil?2023-04-18T02:56:19+00:00

From the start of the planting process, we have full oversight of the growing, cold pressing (using no added heat or chemicals) and bottling process which all takes place in New Zealand. The utmost care is taken throughout the whole supply chain producing an oil with exceptionally low saturated fat, no trans fat and a naturally rich source of vitamin E.

Is this the same as canola oil?2022-09-14T22:59:53+00:00

The Good Oil is a New Zealand grown cold-pressed rapeseed oil. Canola in the retail market is imported and extracted from seed using added heat (seed heating) and chemicals (solvent extraction). After solvent extraction the crude oil, is refined bleached and deodorised (RBD) to produce an odourless oil which is opaque in appearance. The RBD process does not rely on high quality seed oil as the intensive processing removes any unwanted components from the crude oil.
