The SEED Co is based at Rosedown Farm, Sherborne, surrounded by Dorset's beautiful rural landscape. We produce cold pressed rapeseed oil made from a single variety of seed that's been chosen by us for its very special flavour and versatility.  Rich in Omega 3,6 & 9 and Vitamin E, our rapeseed oil has less than half the saturated fat of olive oil too.  It's natural, GM Free and totally delicious with a delicate, slightly nutty taste with overtones of asparagus and pea-pods thrown in for good measure!

We work closely with agronomists (seed experts) from our parent company, Pearce Seeds, a family business with more than 40 years' experience in agriculture.  That means we care very very much about the provenance of the rapeseed we have selected and we will never make oil from a blend of seed. We then grow the seed crop on selected neighbouring farms with whom we've forged loyal partnerships.

Rapeseed oil is a great new British culinary oil that can be used in exactly the same way as olive oil, perfect for drizzling, dressings, roasting, frying and baking.  With a high smoke point of 230 degrees, it isn't easily absorbed by food either ... so you use much less oil when you cook, making it an even healthier option!

BRAND NEW : 100% DORSET BISCUITS! 
We've got together with a few of our favourite Dorset producer friends to make a delicious new savoury biscuit called Dorset Thick & Thins.  Baked by Moores of Bridport (of Dorset Knobs repute!) and made using Nether Cerne Farm Wheat, Dorset Blue Vinny Cheese, Olives Et Al Kalamata Olives and our very own cold pressed rapeseed oil.  As the name suggests, you get a packet of thick biscuits (delicious on their own with drinks) and a packet of thin biscuits (great to have with cheese) in each box. Look out for them at independent shops near you or buy online at Nice people at Olives Et Al
