The Good Oil is grown in partnership with approximately 100 South Island farms. The farms are typically family operated with a wealth of knowledge from growing many different crops. The Good Oil team has full oversight of the growing and oil production process and the utmost care is taken throughout the whole supply chain.

This begins with supplying GE free seeds for planting and diligent oversight of the growing and harvesting of the rapeseed crop by our dedicated Agronomy team. Our Agronomy team are based around the South Island and work closely with each farms to manage the crop. Once harvested, the seed is carefully stored in the correct conditions before cold pressing. The oil is only pressed once required, this helps ensure the oil is fresh and in the best condition when it makes it to your home. Once the oil has been cold pressed from the seed, without the use of heat or any chemicals, it is triple filtered and bottled in-house.

The ‘High Oleic’ rapeseed used in the production of The Good Oil has been chosen very carefully and was selected due to its unique, beneficial balance of fats:

• Low in saturated fat – 50% less than olive oil.
• High in stable, healthy monounsaturated fat.
• Cold pressing helps retain naturally occurring antioxidants, which can be reduced during heavy processing.
• High oleic oils are naturally more stable for cooking.
• Naturally contains vitamin E (tocopherols).
• Naturally contains omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fats in a balanced ratio.

The Good Oil is a fresh and minimally processed oil.
