Borderfields Rapeseed Oil

Rapeseed oil grown, pressed and bottled in Britain from a traditional farming cooperative

Paul Davenport and Tilly Fuller explain why rapeseed oil is so much better than virgin olive oil. It cooks at a higher temperature, has a distinctive buttery taste and is great on salads. Better than that though - it's British. Borderfields is a traditional farming co-operative and Sue Nelson is interested in how they manage to get enough rapeseed from their partnership of like-minded farmers in Northumberland, the Scottish Borders and Nottinghamshire, now they are selling in so many supermarkets and other outlets. Listen again on the short podcast or the full programme podcastbut also visit the website for more information and recipes.
