The Butterworks launches first Spreadable Butter made with Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil

Bringing a tubful of health benefits to fridges across the UK, The Butterworks has created the nation’s first ever spread using a blend of butter and Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil. Teaming up with Hillfarm Oils, one of the first UK farms to grow, press and bottle its own cold pressed rapeseed oil, the freshest butter brand on the block has produced A Blend of Butter with Hillfarm Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, a gloriously golden spread with cholesterol reducing and immune system boosting credentials.

Beginning a new wave in Spreadable Butter, the Butter Boffins from Caerphilly have partnered with Suffolk-based Hillfarm, a family-run farm established in 1967. Beautifully golden with a mild nutty taste, Hillfarm’s Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is totally unrefined to retain its vibrant colour, nutritional benefits and natural flavour, and has also been carefully selected by The Butterworks team for its traceability and versatility.

Containing a lower level of saturated fat than many other commonly available oils that are often used in tubs of Spreadable Butter, Hillfarm’s finest boasts a whole host of nutritional properties, preserved from the crop through a natural process of cold pressing the seeds. These include cholesterol blocking plant sterols and the correct balance of brain enhancing Omegas 3, 6 and 9, while the oil is also a rich source of Vitamin E and K, which promote healthy eyes and skin.

Carefully blended with The Butterworks’ specially selected Sweet Cream Butter, a little salt and water, the cold pressed rapeseed oil is one of only four ingredients that are poured into this deliciously light spreadable butter, which has no artificial colours or flavours. To retain the nutritional benefits of the cold pressed rapeseed oil, The Butterworks uses cold mix technology to bring all of the ingredients together without adding any heat to the process.

Easy to spread straight from the fridge into sandwiches and perfect for roasting and frying due to its high burn point, A Blend of Butter with Hillfarm is a convenient and tasty option for those looking to feed themselves and their families a delicious, balanced and healthy diet.

A Blend of Butter with Hillfarm Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is available from Waitrose stores around the UK, RRP £2.00 (250g). The Butterworks’ Cornish Butter, which is hand-salted with Cornish sea salt crystals, is also available from Waitrose, RRP £2.00 (250g), and The Butterworks Softer Butter block is available from Morrisons, RRP £2.00 (250g).
