Palm oil production has been responsible for the destruction of vast swathes of rainforest in Indonesia and Malaysia, home to some of the world’s most endangered species. The loss of this critical habitat means that these animals have nowhere else to go and also has a direct impact on local communities who rely on the rainforest for their livelihoods.
At Peter’s Yard we never use palm oil. Instead we use 100% British cold-pressed rapeseed oil from Hillfarm which is grown and pressed in Suffolk keeping our food miles low.
Unlike palm oil, it is ultra-low in saturated fat and has the highest levels of heart-healthy Omega 3 found in all plant oils.
