BRECKENHOLME – Home of the finest cold pressed rapeseed oil

Welcome

Welcome to Breckenholme Trading Company Limited, a family business situated in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds. Run from our farm base at North Breckenholme, we specialise in the production of cold pressed rapeseed oil.

Here at Breckenholme we run two of our own brands, Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil and Charlie & Ivy’s alongside pressing oil for bulk order clients, export contracts, and offering white label contract pressing, bottling and manufacturing.

We work hard to fulfil all of our contracts to the highest standards whilst supporting our ambitions for an environmentally ethical and sustainable future.

Our Story

Breckenholme Trading Company was founded in 2007 by Directors Adam Palmer, Ben Palmer and Paul Scothern, with the goal to cold press oilseed rape for the food industry. The company was first created with a view to diversify from our farming roots and bring value to a crop already grown on our family farm.

Now over 10 years later we cold press rapeseed for use not only within our own brands but for many other independent brands too. The company has also grown to accommodate further food manufacturing needs using cold pressed rapeseed oil and also offers a product development service for brands to use.

Our ties with farming are still strong and this link motivates us to innovate within our area, constantly looking at different ways we can build on our British food and farming roots.

Breckenholme is a business with ambitions for an environmentally ethical and sustainable future. We are proud to champion low food miles, local produce and chemical free production.

Founded in 2007 we offer over a decade of experience

We are a friendly, family business that works flexibly to meet your needs

Testimonials

Working with the Breckenholme team is brilliant. They are friendly, helpful and full of great advice. They do all our processing very efficiently and I know I can trust them with my products.

'I've been working with BTC for some 9 years now, they produce a Chilli Jam Mayonnaise from our products and some fantastic chilli infused rapeseed oils for us. It's been a real pleasure watching what was a small family team grow from strength to strength but always keeping their eye firmly on quality and great service. Truly a pleasure to work with!

We require a high-quality oil for our products and Breckenholme offers a consistently high standard of product and service. They are always happy to help!
