Yonezawa Hydraulic Press Extraction First-Pressed Rapeseed Salad Oil uses 100% raw rapeseed from Australia.
It has a distinctive roasted aroma and a refreshing flavor and richness characteristic of rapeseed, resulting in a delicious oil.
It is also recommended for deep-frying.
The oil is light and has good pourability, with the characteristic of being less prone to burning 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 at any stage of production.

＜Yonezawa Oil’s Three Commitments＞
1. Use of 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 genetically modified (GMO) 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 purchase only rapeseed that is managed separately at each stage of cultivation and distribution (IP handling).
2. Aiming to increase domestic self-sufficiency and expand production 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 for its use, production cannot increase. Our company purchases and presses about 70% of domestic rapeseed production (2,250 tons), supporting farmers and striving to improve self-sufficiency.
3. No use of chemical synthetic agents or food additives in the manufacturing process
Typical salad oils are produced using a combination of pressing and extraction methods. The extraction method involves the use of n-hexane (a petroleum-related product) to dissolve residual oil from the pressed raw material as much as possible. During refining, acids such as phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, caustic soda, and activated white clay are used for efficient purification. Our company exclusively uses pressing methods for extraction and refines the oil with our patented hot-water washing process, without adding silicone (antifoaming agents) or other additives.
※ Depending on the quality of the raw seeds, natural citric acid, activated carbon, and acidic white clay (raw clay) may be used in the refining process.
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 become skewed, but there are recommended ratios. According to materials from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, it is desirable 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 among oils. 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.
