Specially Selected British Grown Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil

Specially Selected British Grown Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil is a premium private-label product offered by Aldi. This specific oil is produced and bottled in the United Kingdom, often sourced from specialized British farms. For instance, Aldi has established long-term supply deals with UK-based producers such as Phoenix Speciality Oils in Nottingham and Mackintosh of Glendaveny in Scotland to ensure the product is 100% British grown and processed.

The 'Specially Selected' brand is one of Aldi's most successful premium tiers, designed to offer high-quality gourmet products at a lower price point than national brands. While the brand is exclusive to Aldi, the retailer works with a network of local suppliers to manufacture the products under its strict quality standards. This rapeseed oil is marketed for its versatility in cooking and its nutritional profile, being a cold-pressed alternative to more processed oils.

Aldi itself is a global retail giant with a unique ownership structure. The company is split into two independent groups: Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd. The 'Specially Selected' range is a staple across both divisions globally, though the UK operations fall under the management of Aldi Süd. The ultimate ownership of Aldi Süd rests with the Siepmann-Stiftung, a German foundation established by the Albrecht family to ensure the long-term stability and private ownership of the company.
