COLD PRESSED OIL

Cold Pressed Organic Non-GMO Canola Oil

Highwood Crossing Canola Oil is a wonderfully balanced and nutritionally significant oil containing a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. Canola oil has a fatty acid profile that is similar to extra-virgin olive oil in many ways except one – it has half the amount of saturated fat. 


Because of its low level of saturated fat and high level of monounsaturated fat, many say that canola oil has the best all-around fatty acid profile of any edible oil. An independent lab analysis of our organic canola oil found it to contain higher amounts of beneficial vitamin E and beta-sitosterol and lower amounts of harmful trans-fatty acids than in the other canola oils which the lab tested.

Use And Storage

Highwood Crossing’s organic Cold Pressed Canola Oil has been called Canada’s answer to olive oil because of its health benefits, versatility, and intense flavour! Have fun and use this oil as you would a good quality olive oil. It has a bright golden-sun-yellow colour with a taste to match. To the nose, it has a bouquet reminiscent of a field of newly cut hay or sweet clover. On the palette, it tastes fresh and nutty – not at all cloying. It’s great for use in baking or in salad dressings, marinades, and drizzled over fresh tomatoes. The professional chefs who use Highwood Crossing Canola Oil describe it as robust, fresh, golden and buttery.


To use canola oil in baking, substitute in any recipe calling for vegetable oil. If you find the flavour to be too intense, divide the amount of canola oil in half and add either water or applesauce.


To replace butter or lard with healthy canola oil, use the below conversions:

(1 cup) butter or lard = (3/4 cup) canola oil
(3/4 cup) butter or lard = (2/3 cup) canola oil
(1/2 cup) butter or lard = (1/3 cup) canola oil
(1/4 cup) butter or lard = (3 tbsp) canola oil

Once opened, store canola oil in the refrigerator for a best before use of 18 months. Because of the low amount of saturated fat in our canola oil, it can be stored in and used directly from the fridge, unlike olive oil.
