Omega 3 Fusion Oil.
This is a premium oil with a premium taste, and premium health benefits. It's a blend of virgin cold pressed seed and fruit oils. It contains over 70% of EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) which include around 25% Omega 3. It has a wonderful natural earthy aroma, as the oil is not chemically refined like many other leading brands, independent extensive heat tests have shown minimal breakdown of the Omega 3 EFA. It can be used for shallow frying but also tastes superb on its own and can be used as a salad dressing or drizzled over rice or pasta.
Here's the science bit... Click here to read on.
Research has shown that by increasing our intake of essential fatty acids, in the right ratio, our bodies can experience a wide variety of health benefits. And unlike saturated fats, EFAs are used up by the body rapidly, so they don't end up as amassed fat. Plus, more and more research is telling us that a balance of Omega 3, 6 and 9 contains properties that may help maintain brain function, a healthy heart, bendy joints, great skin and sustained energy levels.
Unfortunately, our bodies crave these essential fatty acids but because we can't produce them, we have to get them by eating the right things. Not to worry, we've bottled this essential Omega goodness, so you don't have to run around looking for the right balance of foods.
Omega 3 Fusion Oil is made from Gold of Pleasure Oil (Camelina Satvia), Avocado Oil, Oleic Sunflower, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Toasted Organic Sesame Seed Oil. Plus, it's gluten free, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil.
Our Oilseed Rape is grown, harvested, stored, cold-pressed, filtered and bottled in the UK. This gives you 100% traceability, which helps us to keep down food miles. And just as importantly, it helps our UK farming community, and in particular one farmer, George and his family in Cambridgeshire, who grows all yellowdot's rapeseed crop. And naturally you can be assured of British quality standards wherever you see the red tractor logo, which indicates George's highly respected Assured Farm Standards.
Now here’s the science bit... Click here to read on.
Exactly like olive oil, the rapeseed oil is gently squeezed out at low temperatures, this is called cold pressing. The seeds are simply crushed in a press so that it releases its oil without any of the heat treatments, solvents or anti-frothing agents that may be used in the processing of refined oils. This allows the oil to retain its vitamins and high levels of Omega 3 and 6, all its antioxidants properties, in fact, all its natural goodness. Surprised?
Well here’s something more surprising, olive oil as you know is healthy, but now there is a real alternative, and it’s home grown. Rapeseed oil contains half the saturated fat levels of olive oil, has 10 times more Omega 3 than olive oil, has a high burn point so is safe to use for deep-frying and roasting, and its natural nutty flavour makes it ideal for salad dressings & marinades.
Other benefits include a good source of vitamin E. Trans-fat and gluten-free. It’s suitable for vegetarians, and is Kosher and Halal friendly.
All in all, rapeseed provides you with a versatile oil that will enhance the kitchen of both the food lover and the health conscious.
