Cold pressed oils retain most of their health and taste benefits of the raw nuts and seeds from which they are made. This is not the case with most agrochemical oils which are extracted at high temperatures. In this process natural antioxidants, minerals and other vitamins in the oils are further processed which in turn apparently lessen the colour and taste of the final oil produced.

Olive oil is a firm favourite which is versatile. It can be eaten alone with bread, added to salads or used for cooking. This is the most digestible of the oils and is said to be effective against heart disease and liver disorders. Nut oils make delicious salad dressings when simply whisked together with vinegar or lemon jiuce. Sunflower oil is rich in polyunsaturates and can be used in dishes that require a lighter oil than olive oil and can be used in cake baking too.

Whats your favourite oil to use? have you tried to make your own fusion oils by placing herbs, chillis, peppers, spices etc into a bottle of oil to use in your cookery. I have always got bottles of different  fusion oils on the go to use in my receipes so have a go. There are some great oil bottles here.
