Kentish Oils Now Available in Tesco

Kentish Oils, producer of award-winning farm pressed rapeseed oils, has secured a regional listing with Tesco for its 500ml original rapeseed oil. The new listing sees the oil on shelves in 42 Tesco stores across Kent, Sussex & Surrey. Established in 2008, the Kent based company produces cold pressed rapeseed oil using seed grown on the farm surrounding their unit near Manston, Kent. Demand for rapeseed oil has increased over recent years, as interest in locally produced, high quality food & drink has grown. There are also a number of health benefits associated with rapeseed oil, including being high in Omega 3, low in saturated fats and a good source of Vitamin E. With a low smoke point, rapeseed oil is also very versatile and so can be used for roasting, frying, dressing, marinating and baking. Laura Bounds, Owner & Managing Director of Kentish Oils, commented “We have seen a rapidly increasing demand for our oils and securing this new listing with Tesco means that our oils are now much more widely available. We are passionate about producing an oil which is 100% traceable and as the first Kent producer to grow, press & bottle on farm, we are also able to ensure the quality of every single bottle from the field to the shelf.” Kentish Oils original rapeseed oil, which is Red Tractor certified, is available at Tesco stores throughout the South East as well as being stocked by independent farm shops, delis & restaurants throughout the UK. kentishoils.com
