Sounds good - I recently had a bottle of rapeseed oil from the deli in Alford which was very good. It wasn't scottish though - http://www.farrington-oils.co.uk/about.html so I'm glad to see a more local one still... given the amount of the stuff that is grown locally I'm sure there could be an even more local source!!
Ina

Yep, I have a bottle of that oil, too. But of course I would prefer to buy local(ish)..

Nearest stockest to me is The Store at Foveran

And to me, that shop in Banchory... Thing is, I have so much oil in the house that'll last me the next 5 years at least!

Ola Oil are launching their cold-pressed rapeseed oil at the Taste of Grampian event at Thainstone on 7th June.  They are somewhere near Inverurie.

I bought some Ola Oil in the Green Grocers in Inverurie today.  A bit expensive at £4.95 for a 500ml bottle, but worth a try and it should be a lot better taste than ordinary rapeseed oil.

Will you be going to the Taste of Grampian event Maidenstone? I'm looking forward to it.
Maidenstone

Yes, I've never been before so am looking forward to it too.  I think the food producers up here have got something to be proud of.

It's a good day out - hopefully there will be a few of the Neeps going along.

I think that's about what I paid for the other British rape seed oils, too.
