We’re going to try and enter the awards for this year, which is something we haven’t done before – we might need some support from our GOOD fans! We’ll put up a blog at the time and there will be a call to action on Facebook, watch this space!

Happy listening

On Sunday we had some fantastic coverage on the LBC Food Show. Nutritionist Wendy O’Neill & DJ Bill Buckley sang GOOD OIL’s praises as they completed an on air oil tasting and nutritional review. GOOD OIL’s nutritional value and taste were reviewed and we stood up incredibly well to some very credible competitors and seemed to get a great reaction from listeners too.

We’re going to add the clip to our you tube channel soon, watch this space or our facebook and we’ll get a link up so you can hear the oils debate for yourself.

Have a GOOD week.

A GOOD quick lunch

Just a quick lunch update, having just eaten and thoroughly enjoyed a huge bowl of this quick and easy salad we thought you might like it too, especially as the weather in the UK tomorrow is supposed to be great (this remains to be seen!)

Get a big bunch of watercress, chop some cherry tomatoes and grab a pack of Smoked Mackeral (most of the supermarkets stock this in a vacuum pack.) Add quantities of each to your taste. Sprinkle over some Aspall Apple Balsamic Vinegar and then glug over lashings of GOOD OIL, Original or Mild & Light. Eat!

Voila, a GOOD lunch in less than five minutes (except the run to the shops!)

GOOD summer

The hemp crop is now flowering and we’re gearing up for this years harvest, some more sunshine would help so please keep your fingers crossed for us!

GOOD OIL were proud sponsor of the GOOD OIL Novice Cup at Bicton last week, our Production Co-ordinator Nancy came in third and our founders presented the prizes, unfortunately the weather didn’t hold up for us but spirits were high for the winners anyway.

Take a visit to Delia Smith’s website right now and you’ll see GOOD OIL in the ‘Food News’ section, Mild & Light being noted as an exceptional cooking ingredient “brilliant for general frying and sautéing purposes”. http://www.deliaonline.com/articles/food/food-and-drink-news,2139,AR.html

The Tuk Tuk continues it tour of London, hitting another 12 areas in the next three weeks, if you see it remember to snap your pic and post it on our facebook group to be sent a free sample and 50p off coupon!

GOOD weekend

Just a quick reminder, come and see us this weekend at The Innocent Village Fete, Regent’s Park. We’re at stand M19 in the ‘Market Place’ area, we’ll be sampling nutty nutritious GOOD OIL, our GOOD DRESSING and generally being GOOD to people! Fingers crossed for sunshine.

We’re also launching our Tuk Tuk Spotter competition next week (we might need a snappier name for it so do post your suggestions!) Anyway, the GOOD OIL Tuk Tuk will be out and about in London nearly every day in August, if you see it, snap a quick photo of yourself with it and upload to our Facebook group and we’ll send you a free sample of GOOD OIL Original and a 50p off coupon. Keep your eyes peeled as we might be out and about near you!

GOOD News

Go through to articles to read the report on The Nutritional Attributes of GOOD OIL, written by Professor Tom Sanders (one of the countries top nutritional scientists) & Doctor Fiona Lewis at The King’s College London. The report highlights health benefits of an intake of 10ml of GOOD OIL a day in your daily diet. We know we’ve been telling you about the benefits of super food hemp for some time, but we thought you’d like to hear it from someone else too!

Your health is important to us at GOOD OIL, however getting your taste buds tingling and your mind racing with new recipe ideas is what really makes us tick – check out our new facebook group where we’ll have offers, competitions and Q&A’s through the coming months. Go on, pay us a visit, air your views with like-minded GOOD folk and tell us what you’ve been up too with our nutty and nutritious oil.

GOOD for veggies

A post to our blog from Jakob (Thanks!) inspired us to pop up a note for any vegetarians and vegans who might like to try our product… GOOD OIL Original & Mild & Light are suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, our only ingredient is natural cold-pressed hemp seed oil and there are no additives to put the Omega’s in e.g. fish oil.

Rest assured our Omega’s are 100% naturally occurring, and also very efficient to digest, we leave our aquatic friends out of the process!

GOOD food

We’d love to hear some of your favourite recipes for GOOD OIL, or salads that you love to liven up with GOOD DRESSING or GOOD SEED Salad Sprinkles. We’ll be updating our site soon and we’ll make plenty of room for your suggestions, please reply to the blog with your ideas or mail them to jess@goodwebsite.co.uk

You’ll notice our competition closed… Booooo! Not to worry – there’s a new one on the way, we like to help you keep happy as well as healthy and so we’ll be offering some pampering prizes so you can look as GOOD on the outside as you feel on the inside. Watch the GOOD blog for announcements.

GOOD times

More on our summer plans, we’ve just confirmed that we will also appear at The Innocent Village Fete on August 2nd & 3rd this year in London. We’ll be in the Farmers Market section. Come and see our shiny little GOOD OIL Tuk Tuk in the sun (we hope) and taste some yummy hemp oil, cold-pressed at Collabear Farm.

See you there and have a GOOD weekend

Out and about

Just to let you know where to catch up with us next, we thought we’d give you a quick update of the coming weeks. If you’re a dietitian or nutritionist and attending The British Dietetic Association Conference on June 17th, we’ll be meeting and greeting some of the folks who advise on what to eat and why to eat it.

We hit the Midlands next with a 4 day stint at C4 Taste of Birmingham, 10th – 13th July. We’re right near the entrance at Stand D1 and we’ll be doling out goodness in the form of tastings and recipes. We’ll also be running a good (or should we say great) competition so don’t forget to pick up a leaflet from one of our good guys and girls at the stand.
