Most rapeseed oil at the time wasn't used for food, too much linoleic(?) acid; canola was rebranding a low-acid cultivar that was more suitable for cooking.

We produce a shitload of the stuff

Oh. Yeah never knew about the cultivar thing. It was before I knew about such things. It's just called rapsiöljy in Finland and there's fields of it. Always used that for cooking, only started using olive oil like last year.

You dont want to cook with olive oil. The smoke point is too low.

Depends on what you're making. You don't want to fry with it, no, but it's excellent for marinara and pasta etc etc
