Vivid, golden-orange and unmistakably sea buckthorn, this is one of the most striking oils in our range. Cold-pressed and unrefined, a few drops go a long way. In 2025 it earned a Great Taste award, judged blind by chefs, buyers and food writers.
What the Great Taste judges said
Awarded a Great Taste 2025 one-star rating, our sea buckthorn oil left the panel reaching for superlatives on its looks: “the colour is absolutely stunning. It is iridescent and looks like it has gold leaf on top”; “an extraordinary colour, this positively glows in the glass”. On the palate they found “soft pea notes at the front, followed by a creaminess which leads onto a light citrus finish that lingers”, with “toasted seed and dried berry notes”. Their verdict: “delicious and unique”.
Taste & character
Gentler than its colour suggests. Creamy and lightly nutty, with toasted seed and dried berry notes and a soft citrus finish that lingers. The glow in the glass is pure sea buckthorn: deep saffron gold, bright and inviting.
How it is made
Cold-pressed from a single batch of fruit, unrefined, and bottled in dark glass to keep the light out. We work in small batches, made to order rather than mass-produced, with no heat, no chemical solvents and no blending, just the hand of a maker in every bottle. Every batch is checked for quality, and the whole range is vegan, GMO-free and ISO 22000 certified.
In the kitchen
Best used sparingly. A few drops lift a dressing or marinade, stir a little into a smoothie, or finish yoghurt, grains or roasted vegetables with a thread of gold.
What is naturally inside
Naturally contains omega-7, which is uncommon in plant oils, along with vitamins C and E.
Storage
Keep somewhere cool and dark, away from heat and light, and use within 18 to 24 months. Reseal the bottle tightly between uses.
Allergen information
Single-ingredient sea buckthorn oil. Not one of the 14 major allergens listed under UK food law.
