Yonezawa Oil's First-Pressed Rapeseed Salad Oil uses 100% Australian-grown rapeseed raw materials.
It has a distinctive roasted aroma, with a refreshing flavor and rich, delicious oil characteristic of rapeseed.
It is recommended for frying.
The oil is smooth and has good pourability, and it is less likely to burn even when fried at 180°C.
Rapeseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids such as oleic acid, linolenic acid, and linoleic acid. These support the absorption of vitamins.
The oil is extracted using a natural pressing method and refined through a proprietary hot-water washing process (patented). No petroleum-based chemicals are used during manufacturing.
＜About Yonezawa Oil＞
Founded in 1892 (Meiji 25), Yonezawa Oil has been dedicated solely to rapeseed oil for 127 years. Under the principle of "Do not use anything whose safety cannot be confirmed," we pursue food safety consistently.
All rapeseed used in Yonezawa Oil's products is non-GMO (non-genetically modified). We do not rely on chemical synthetic agents; instead, we extract oil solely by pressing, refine it using our patented hot-water washing method, and do not add any additives.
Our staff is committed to delivering safe, secure, and delicious rapeseed oil to your table.
＜Yonezawa Oil’s Three Commitments＞
1. We use non-GMO raw rapeseed.
Japan imports approximately 2.4 million tons of rapeseed annually. The main importers are Canada and Australia, with about 90% being GMO (genetically modified) rapeseed (93% from Canada, 22% from Australia). (※) Until 1997, we used Canadian rapeseed, but after GMO cultivation began there, we switched to Australian rapeseed. However, as GMO cultivation also started in Australia, we now contract with farmers who grow non-GMO crops, and only purchase and press rapeseed that is managed separately at each stage of cultivation and distribution (IP handling).
2. We aim to increase domestic production and expand cultivation areas.
Domestic rapeseed production has recovered to over 3,000 tons annually. It is a useful crop that requires little effort to cultivate, and after planting, the fields often see improved growth of other crops and increased yields. However, without a market, production cannot increase. Our company purchases and presses about 70% of domestic rapeseed (2,250 tons), supporting farmers and working to improve self-sufficiency.
3. No chemical synthetic agents or food additives are used in the manufacturing process.
Typical salad oils are produced using both pressing and extraction methods. The extraction method involves the use of n-hexane (a petroleum-related product) to dissolve residual oil from the raw material after pressing. During refining, acids such as phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, caustic soda, and activated white clay are used for efficient purification. Our process involves only pressing, and refining is done by repeatedly washing the oil with hot water (patented method). We do not add silicone (antifoaming agents) to the final product.
※ Depending on the quality of the raw seeds, natural citric acid, activated carbon, and acidic white clay (raw clay) may be used during refining.
Nutritionally balanced plant oil: "Rapeseed Oil"
Oil is composed of multiple fatty acids. Commonly known fatty acids include oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and medium-chain fatty acids.
All these fatty acids are beneficial to the human body. Due to media influence and other factors, intake can be skewed, but there are desirable ratios. According to materials from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, it is recommended to consume fatty acids in the order of ω-9 > ω-6 > ω-3. (※) Olive oil is rich in oleic acid but contains very little linolenic acid. Recently, media coverage has highlighted perilla oil, which contains the least oleic acid that should be consumed. Coconut oil contains very little oleic acid and essential fatty acids. Rapeseed oil contains a balanced ratio of ω-9, ω-6, and ω-3 fatty acids, making it a well-balanced plant oil.
