It’s British Food fortnight and we’re celebrating by showcasing the best produce the south west has to offer with a focus on our local producers.
Today we’re shining a light on bell & loxton oils.
Bell & Loxton are award-winning producers of rapeseed oil which is grown, pressed and bottled on the family farm in Kingsbridge, South Devon.
A truly family business, the Bell’s of Bell & Loxton have been farming at Upton Barn for the last 50 years. A quest to make the farm more sustainable led to founder Jonathan developing cold pressed rapeseed oil for use in dressings and marinades.Â
Once harvested the rape seeds are pressed at a low temperature, hence cold pressed, which extracts the natural oil. This is then filtered and bottled on the farm.
These oils are a relatively new addition to our product range so you may not have tried them yet. If you haven’t be sure to give them a go. We stock the following varieties:
ORIGINAL RAPESEED 500ml
BASIL RAPESEED 250ml
GARLIC RAPESEED 250ml
