Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil also contains Vitamin E. This vitamin has a number of very important functions for example it helps protect cell membranes by acting as an antioxidant. Vitamin E is also necessary to preserve the Omega 3 in cooking, helping to keep its nutritional value. A serving size of 20ml provides 4.6mg (38% RDA) of vitamin E.

The burn point or “smoke point” is the temperature at which cooking oil starts to break down and the point at which flavour and nutritional degradation occurs.  Heating oil beyond the smoke point can cause the oil to eventually ignite.  For these reasons it’s very important that the right oil is selected for the right job.  For high temperature usage, such as frying and roasting, you should select an oil that has a higher smoke point than the temperature you are heating the oil to.  Rapeseed oil has one of the highest smoke points of any cooking oil and is well suited to high temperature usage and has a higher smoke point than olive oil* (RSSL - Certificate of analysis, P8-05233).
