Our Garlic infused Rapeseed Oil has a strong flavour with a pungent aroma of garlic. If you like the taste or garlic, you will really enjoy this infused oil. It can be used to roast vegetables or meats, quickly giving any dish it is added to a really strong garlic flavour.
How is it best used?
As a result of rapeseed oils natural high burn point, Garlic infused Rapeseed Oil is excellent for use when frying or roasting for example.
Our Garlic Rapeseed Oil is also fantastic for making marinades and dressing with our range of locally produced fruit vinegars, such as our subtle Apple Vinegar or fruity Bramble Vinegar.
We have experimented with roasting and frying vegetables in a mix of a little rapeseed oil and a little fresh strong Extra Virgin Olive Oil such as our Villa Montalbano.
The combination not only improves the taste dramatically, but it will allow cooking without burning at a much higher temperature.
This is another fantastic addition to our range of oils and dressings for salads and for cooking with.
How is this made?
Our Garlic infused Rapeseed Oil is made for us by the Palmer family on their mixed family farm in the Yorkshire Wolds.
It is a beautiful spot in North Yorkshire, near Malton, with fertile ground and plenty of rain, perfect for growing a good arable crop of Oil Seed Rape as well as grass for Beef and Sheep.
We first met Adam and Jen Palmer in 2011 at a Yorkshire food festival in Leyburn, a village nestled in the charming Yorkshire Dales. They are both passionate about producing sustainable, high quality food like us, and importantly they are also a lot of fun!
Over the years Adam and Jen have become good friends. Adam still holds the record for "The Demijohn Challenge," a ridiculous competition we invented which involves two full 5 litre drums being held at shoulder height for as long as possible. Adam managed more than two and half minutes, at least half a minute longer than any other human bean to date!
