This is our first Top 10 of 2012, and it is all change, a complete surprise was www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk comming in at #6, this is the first time they have even been near the top 10 as far as I can remember, Also after a long run at #1 www.hot-head.co.uk has dropped to #3, must be a sign that all that? Christmas? shopping is over again.
Another? amazing? move has been how fast www.dartmoorchillifarm.com has climbed back in to the Top 10 and almost to the #1 slot, following their request we have removed there other site from the list, but it would have been number #4 on the list otherwise.
And what can we say, we are please to be the #1 Chilli Web site in the UK for the first top 10 of 2012, I wonder how long we can keep the top spot.

Mr Filbert's Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil with Chipotle Chillies
Mr Filbert’s extra virgin rapeseed oil is grown and cold pressed in Dorset from a single variety of seed. It is lower in saturated fat compared to olive oil and contains naturally occurring Omegas 3, 6, 9 and Vitamin E, so sounds like a good oil to me, the smoked Chillies come from The South Devon Chilli Farm and have been oak smoked, so both the ingredients are local UK products, not many food miles here..
I have seen a lot of infused oils over the past couple of years, we have even make a few our selves, it is not hard thing to do, but it can be messy and making things in small batches can lead to inconsistency, some of my oils are a lot hotter that others.. This oil is never going to be a hot, it starts with the just 1% of Chipotles which are not high up in the heat arena, but this is a gourmet product where the quality of the oil and the added subtle flavour from the Oak smoking of the chillies make all the difference.
A fan as I am of Olive oils, but locally produced rapeseed oil is just fantastic, I know it has not been adulterated is supporting local UK farmers. I have been reading a lot lately about the Olive Oil industry and it seems that it is becoming a major area for fraud and product adultery, with criminals moving to food fraud instead of drugs and other high tariff offences.
Ingredients: Cold pressed Rapeseed Oil (99%), Smoke Chipotle Chillies (1%).
I love using rapeseed oil at home, it’s yellow colour and nutty taste make it ideal for salad dressing, or just dipping fresh bread in it, but add the smoky Chipotle and this is true gourmet food. Try using it where ever you would use olive oil make, on the Mr Filberts web site they have a recipe that use it in Guacamole, but I have even used it to make a very yellow Mayo that only lasted a few hours before we where scraping the pot..
You can order on-line or find a local stockiest at the Mr Filbert’s web site at www.mrfilberts.com

This is our last Top 10 of 2011, and we are please to find ourselves at #2 and the only non-shop site in the listing yet again. There is no real surprise the #1 slot is Hot-Headz who has been working very hard on the web site and PR, they have either been #1 or #2 every month this year.
Hot-Headz have provided a constant supply of products and information over the year, they make it very simple to write a story about what they are doing. While they are not the site most popular for links out from ours they are always near the top.
Great to see Scorchio back in the top 10, don’t know what happened to them last month?
