Goldenfields Rapeseed Oil
10 Answers
Tesco have stopped this, it was inexpensive at £1.30 a litre. I have looked at other supermarkets etc but they are all much more expensive especially if you have to pay postage. Anyone know where else I can buy it at this price or similar ?

In fact the story goes that Canola is the same as rapeseed oil to make the latter more marketable due to the name… however, there are actually two differences between canola and rapeseed oil as seen here:
"What's the Difference Between Canola and Rapeseed Oils?
In the 1970s canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed "canola" – a combination of "Canadian" and "Oil" (or ola) to make this difference apparent.
By definition, if a seed is labeled "canola" it has to have less than 30 micromoles of glucosinolates and less than 2% of erucic acid…"
Having said all that, Canola is a great high temp, light and good tasting cooking oil… if it's available, one might try it in place of the rapeseed oils...

Mysupermarket.co.uk, which is generally very reliable, shows it as still available at Tesco (at the price you quote) but out of stock at Morrisons (at £1.50), with Waitrose offering it at £1.69.
However KTC Rapeseed Oil is shown as available in Tesco, Asda & Sainsbury's at £1.50 per litre (with Morrison's selling it for £2.00). So that might be a possible alternative.
