Frequently asked
Does Patisserie Valerie UK use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Patisserie Valerie UK cooks with: rapeseed oil. Across the 40 menu items we analyzed, it averages 4.5g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of B (Medium Risk).
What oil does Patisserie Valerie UK cook with?
Our research indicates: rapeseed oil is the workhorse — it is named in the sponge mixes and as the release agent across the gateaux and brownie range, it is the base of the mayo, tartare sauce, Caesar dressing, French dressing, houmous and pesto on the lunch menu, and the kitchen fries the cod goujons, rösti and baked fries in a rapeseed/sunflower blend; chocolate decorations bring palm and sunflower oil. The counter patisserie is the LOW-PUFA half of this menu: the all-butter croissants, scones, fresh-cream gateaux, cheesecakes, mille-feuille and the béchamel/hollandaise dishes are butter-, cream- and cocoa-butter led and score 1-3. The high scores are the mayo-dressed club sandwiches and the pesto/houmous dishes served with fries, plus the oil-sponge cakes (carrot, red velvet). Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
