Kent Producer Profile: KENTISH OILS & KENTISH CONDIMENTS KENTPRODUCERS COLD PRESSED RAPESEED OIL & CONDIMENTS FROM THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND KENTISH OILS & KENTISH CONDIMENTS ARE PROUDLY OWNED BY KENT-BORN LAURA BOUNDS, WHO HAS BUILT THE BUSINESS ON A PASSION FOR BRITISH FOOD & DRINK. ONLY THE FINEST INGREDIENTS ARE USED TO PRODUCE AN AWARD-WINNING RANGE OF RAPESEED OILS, DRESSINGS & MAYONNAISES. © Pickture Kentish Oils are a range of rapeseed oils made using specially selected seed grown here in Kent. Once harvested, the seed is cold pressed, filtered and bottled in small batches just outside Canterbury at Highland Court Farm. Alongside the original rapeseed oil, 6 blended oils are produced, Chilli, Garlic & Herb, Lemon, Garden Mint, Basil & Rosemary. The oils are extremely versatile and may be used for frying, roasting, drizzling, and even baking. Used by chefs across the county, Kentish Oils’ rapeseed oil is often referred to as “liquid gold”, due to its distinct colour and ability to transform any dish. Kentish Oils’ rapeseed oil is also used to make Kentish Condiments, a range of dressings, marinades and mayonnaises also made in small batches to traditional recipes. The dressings include Honey & Mustard, Caramelised Shallot & Cider, Raspberry Vinaigrette and Garden Herbs Vinaigrette; which provide the perfect accompaniment to meat, fish, vegetables and salads. There are also three mayonnaises which complete the range, Original, Chilli – made using chillies from Kent Chilli Farm, and Garlic – made using garlic from Jack’s Veg; which may be used as traditional mayonnaise, for dipping and to add extra flavour to a wide range of meals. As well as being a Great Taste Producer, Kentish Oils & Kentish Condiments are previous winners of “Kent Food Producer of the Year” at Produced in Kent’s Taste of Kent Awards – a testament to just how delicious the range is! The range is available to buy from independent farm shops, delis and home delivery services across Kent, as well as regionally in Waitrose and Tesco, and online for nationwide home delivery via BoroughBox and Amazon UK.
