Rapeseed Oil

At Yelo, we believe we are what we eat. We strive to keep processing to a minimum. We use mechanical pressing to preserve the micronutrients held within this protein and energy rich rapeseed plant.

The benefits – preserved nutrition

Rapeseed oil has the lowest saturated fat levels of all vegetable oils, and is rich in vitamin E, a key antioxidant which contributes to maintaining healthy skin and eyes and strengthens the immune system. Rapeseed oil contains high levels of Omega-3, polyunsaturated fats – even more than olive oil.  Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol.

Fats, as found in rapeseed oil, help the body to absorb vitamins and are an excellent source of energy.

The most versatile vegetable oil

Not only is Yelo rapeseed oil one of the healthiest homegrown options available, it also one of the most versatile. Used in savoury and sweet recipes alike, its high flash point means it doesn’t burn when shallow or deep frying, baking or roasting. Rapeseed oil can also be used drizzled, in dips, sauces and mayonnaise.
