it's the oil I took to France, in the 90s, to put on bread. I've preferred it since then.
I think it is used for animal feed as well.

Interesting. It's a good oil. The article didn't talk about the problem with too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 in our diet. Rapeseed oil is good in that respect, better than most of the alternatives.
I am intrigued...as I always am about trying new things. I'm wondering where I can buy the good stuff and trust that it is the high quality stuff and not a knockoff version.
Maybe Whole Foods or Trader Joe...
If anyone in the U.S. has tried a brand they like, pass along the info.
(I'm not in the UK forum, am I? I always forget to check until it's too late, muahahaha! [emoji33])

well it can only be a good thing that Jamie Oliver doesn't splather everything with olive oil in the future.

The rapeseed oil I took to France in the 90s tasted fine; it wasn't special oil; coldpressed or anything. It tasted pleasantly nutty.

me and someone I knew from school hitch-hiked for a couple of weeks. I thought oil would be good as a sub for margarine. We just slept out beneath the stars....I just grabbed some oil off the shelves in England, and it happened to be rapeseed oil....been a fan ever since. I don't think I'd even heard of it before then.

the other year, I walked through one a bit.....you get yellow powder on you.
I though it would be a good place to have a picnic; in the middle of one.....not that the farmer would be that pleased about that.

That sounds nice. The last time that I was close to a rapeseed field was in either Oxfordshire or Northants. The fields stretched out for miles and looked beautiful.

My impression is that they don't taste much, neither the cheap nor the coldpressed, more expensive ones. I certainly haven't noticed any nutty flavour, as suggested in that article in the OP, but maybe my taste buds aren't the best?

well, when I first had it I would have described it as having a nutty flavour, even though I had never heard of it, or read anything about it. But now, I'm not so sure....I am a lot older and probably my taste isn't as acute.
So it sounds like I just need to try some to see if I like it.
If I like it, all's well...if I don't, I might try one more time with a better quality one and see if there's a difference.
shyvas turned me onto pistachio oil...love that for salads.
