Duchess Oil

About Duchess Oil

Duchess Oil - locally produced cold pressed rapeseed oil. Sustainable farming

Duchess Oil Description

A British product that I hope will capture the imaginations and taste buds of everyone that use's it. Rapeseed is a crop we grow on the farm and make into oil that is brilliantly versatile in the kitchen. Its subtle nutty taste lends itself seamlessly to dressings, fish and pesto's – or it can be simply drizzled on bread as a tasty alternative to butter. Duchess Oil's subtlety allows the flavor of foods to come through. It is also an ideal and healthy substitute to margarine when baking cakes, puddings and biscuits. With a high smoke point of around 220°C, it can be used in roasting and stir-frying: people often comment on the wonderful roast potatoes produced using it and how well you can fry an egg!

We keep getting asked where you can buy our oils, well if you didn't already know, these 3 are all available on @ocadouk : Cold-pressed - great for everything / RAW, a unique first press unfiltered oil - great as a #salad oil / 48 hr Oak Smoked - excellent with #fish or simply drizzled over some #hummus

Spring crops of a heritage wheat called Lysbrun on the right and companion cropping of vetch and a special rapeseed on the left. These were planted a few weeks apart and the lack of rain is very evident. But fingers crossed we get some soon and everything will start shooting up. @ Duchess Farms

The plant we couldn't live without! Rapeseed flowers are in full bloom at the moment transforming the fields and letting us know summer and harvest are just around the corner. The lovely green leaves and yellow flowers will soon disappear as the plant spends all if its energy to grow seeds. But before that happens, you can eat the flowers and leaves which are really delicious. Have you ever tried them? @ Duchess Farms

Wild cover crop seeds about to go in the ground. This is being planted on 10 acres to promote #biodiversity and soil health

Reading @menshealthuk this morning and I found an article reiterating something we've been saying for a while. We believe that #rapeseedoil should be seen by the UK how #oliveoil is seen by the Mediterranean. With continued uncertainty over #brexit have you considered making the swap? You can find us or our friends @crushfoods on @ocadouk @ England

#Repost @natoora (@get_repost) ・・・ We are proud to work with individuals who are outstanding in their own fields of production. Their artistry is radically different from mass-production, often made using traditional methods and from sustainably sourced raw ingredients. These relationships mean that when we're taking shots for our new campaigns, people like Max from Duchess Oil can bring us the very rapeseed plants that go into their incredible oil - grown, pressed and bottled all on their farm. #natoora #duchessoils #rapeseedoil #coldpressed #natoorasourcing #foodsystemrevolution #realtransparency #radicalseasonality #revolutionaryflavour #duchessfarms @ Natoora

Yesterday evening @chorimax went for a chat on @bbcessex to discuss all things Duchess. Followed by an incredible meal The New London Restaurant Lounge where we left @chefadamtownsend decide what we ate. Suffice to say it was a feast definitely worth checking out if you haven't already been. @ Chelmsford, Essex

User

Look at this delicious, fresh and vibrant pesto made by @kyash123 using @duchessoil - What delights do you make with our oils? We'd love to see some of your creations. If you need to stock up, then you can get out signature cold-pressed, RAW & Oak Smoked rapeseed oils on @ocadouk (link in bio and currently with an Intro Offer so go get it!)

#Repost @farmdrop (@get_repost) ・・・ What Does Brexit Mean For Our Farmers? 👩‍🌾🚜 A few months ago, @landworkersalliance, a grassroots union representing farmers and land-based workers, organised a Good Food March in London in light of a revision to the Agricultural Bill that will take over from the current Common Agricultural Policy. This is a policy governing agriculture in Europe, which will cease to exist when the government decide on how Brexit will be implemented.
But wha...t does that mean for our food and the people who grow it? @Abiaspen talks to Oscar Harding, producer of our cold-pressed rapeseed oil at @duchessfarms to find out: read through link in our bio

#Repost @farmerama_radio (@get_repost) ・・・ Ben from @e5bakehouse has been working with Oscar from @duchessfarms to grow heritage wheat which he turns into flour to use in the bakery.⠀ 🌾⠀ Heritage wheats have proteins which behave differently to modern wheats when they are used for baking. It has been a challenging journey to learn how to bake for the best results!⠀... 🍞⠀ They have a beautiful buttery, herby flavour and create a delicious texture in the loaves. Ben loves that the bakery is able to buy grains from just 20 miles away.⠀ 🍞⠀ “Once we begin to feel empowered and have the opportunity to work with farmers we are part of the food system and part of the change we want to see.”⠀ 🍞⠀ Hear more about Ben and Oscar on episode 40!
