Cold-pressed slowly, the way it has always been.

RAS Cold-Pressed Oils, family-run since 1978

Five oils, one honest method.

A family-run business cold-pressing oils since 1978. Each seed is cold-pressed slowly in a wooden chekku so the oil keeps its natural aroma, colour and nutrients. Cook with it, dress with it, or use it on skin and hair.
