We feel privileged to offer a true Kentish delicacy in Kentish Cobnut Oil from Hurtswood Farm, this wonderful cold pressed virgin oil is as good as the finest oils on the market today. This is reflected by its recent crowning as supreme champion at the 2010 great taste awards where the oil was unanimously voted for by all the members of the supreme judging panel from over 6000 entries!!
Kentish Cobnut Oil is true labour of love with each nut being hand picked before the process of drying, shelling and pressing. It takes over a kilo of nuts to produce each 250ml bottle of oil. Cobnut oil is lighter in texture than olive oil and has a wonderful nutty flavour it is a cholesterol-free source of vitamins B andE. As well as using in salads and cooking, cobnut oil can be used as an essential oil and is known for its benefits in treating skin conditions.
At Murray’s General Store as well as Kentish Cobnut Oil we have some wonderful oils from Southern Spain and Southern Italy and to have an oil ‘from our own backyard’ to sit alongside them is a true testament to how far Kent produce has come!
