Cold pressing preserves all the nutritional goodness of an oil, so all of our oils have strong health benefits. Walnut oil too!
Meet Sujitha – our “quiet achiever” Production Manager. He oversees our entire operation, from oil pressing to nut powder production, with an eye for detail, a gentle manner, and always a big smile.
Sujitha has extensive senior level experience in oil crushing and refining from his home country Sri Lanka – in an operation that supplied India – a huge market for plant-based oils. It was a big win for Plenty to lure him to work for us, and he has travelled a long way to do it!
If extra virgin olive oil is the King of Oils, Macadamia is the Queen! (Or Queensland…once known as “The Queensland Nut”), Macadamia is native to this region, now famous and adored all over the world.
We’ve recreated this delicious recipe, taking inspiration from a @donnahay Lamb & Mint Shepherd’s Pie that used mint jelly in the lamb filling.
Want to know the trick to the crispy pie top? Cut the potato very finely and dry it thoroughly. Once the slices are totally dry, mix them in a bowl with some oil and pieces of rosemary and salt/pepper. This separates the potato pieces so that hot air can get in between them and create a crisping effect.
The original recipe said to use Olive Oil, however we swapped this for Plenty’s beautiful Macadamia Oil which is perfect for high-heat cooking and browning.
Josh is the owner of Plenty Foods. Originally he worked in the business, and then with his wife Jo, he purchased it! Josh believes strongly in putting quality and value into the world, in everything he does, and our oils are no exception!
What to do with Walnut Oil? Here’s one idea, and over the next month we’ll share a whole lot more! Our Walnut Oil tastes like walnuts, but with a smoother, gentler, buttery flavour. It’s best used raw, or for low, slow cooking.
Walnut Oil is a nutritional powerhouse, prized for its high content of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (Alpha-Linolenic Acid), powerful anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories (gamma-tocopherol and Polyphenol compounds) and essential vitamins! Lots of reasons to love it!
