Which oil for what?
Linseed, hemp, walnut oil โ cold only
Seed and nut oils like linseed, hemp or walnut oil are best used cold โ for dressings or drizzling. Dressing ideas: salad tips.
Our chefs add pumpkin seed oil only after cooking, over a pumpkin or seasonal soup.
Olive oil โ for braising and finishing
Olive oil handles brief, mild heat well โ but itโs best cold, drizzled over potatoes or vegetables.
Try different varieties โ green, fruity or citrusy. Recipe: courgette flowers in olive oil.
Coconut and avocado oil
Coconut oil is mainly heat-stable saturated fat and great for cooking โ its light coconut flavour suits wok vegetables or mild curry.
Avocado oil also has a higher smoke point and tastes a little more buttery than olive oil.
