Cotswold Gold on Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen

Cotswold Gold were thrilled to recently be featured as one of the Food Heroes on Series 2 of Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen—a heartfelt celebration of exceptional producers across the Cotswolds. In the episode, Prue shines a spotlight on the rich tapestry of local food culture, and we’re honoured to be recognised for our cold-pressed rapeseed oil, made right here on our family farm—from field to bottle.

From Field to Bottle

Our segment on the show celebrated the full journey of our rapeseed oil—from the golden fields of the Cotswolds to the heart of your kitchen. At Cotswold Gold, we believe in quality, sustainability, and flavour. It’s why chefs like Prue trust our oil for its light, versatile profile—and why she’s been using it since Series 1.

 Taste of the Cotswolds

As Prue and co-host John explored the incredible flavours of the region, they welcomed pastry chef Ravneet Gill, who wowed viewers with a decadent chocolate roulade and spoke about her inspirational work with Counter Talk—an initiative supporting better workplace practices in professional kitchens.

Meanwhile, Prue gave a savoury twist to the classic tarte tatin using butternut squash—an ideal dish for showcasing our cold-pressed rapeseed oil, which brings out the sweetness in roasted vegetables while adding a nutty, golden richness. Whether you're caramelising squash or finishing off a drizzle on roasted roots, our oil is the perfect pantry staple.

Family of Flavours

Our sister brand Lucy’s Dressings, are always excited to see new flavour combinations in the spotlight. Prue’s clever use of leftover drinks to create jellies—think prosecco and coffee—reminded us how playfulness and sustainability go hand in hand. Lucy’s Dressings bring that same creative flair to the table, offering vibrant vinaigrettes and rich mayonnaises that make every meal special.

And if you’re on the hunt for giftable foodie delights, look no further than our other brand Ross & Ross Gifts. Inspired by our oils and rubs, they create beautifully curated gift boxes perfect for home cooks and BBQ lovers alike—ideal for anyone who felt inspired by the show’s finale: bread and butter puddings with a twist, both sweet and savoury.

A Thank You from the Cotswolds

We’re so grateful to Prue, John, and the whole Cotswold Kitchen team for celebrating what we do. Whether it’s oil, dressings, or gourmet gifts, we’re passionate about helping people eat well, cook joyfully, and connect through good food.
