You can also simply make cold pressed rapeseed oil (canola) just like olive oil, but I have heard that's impossible to get in the USA whereas in Northern Europe it's in every store.
Although I have to say the processed version is available in much larger amounts.
> Cold-pressed rapeseed oil can have a strong, "stinky" smell due to natural sulfur compounds, earthy flavors from microbial activity, or if it has gone rancid. The odor is caused by naturally occurring volatile compounds like isothiocyanates, which are part of the oil's natural makeup, especially in raw, unpeeled seeds.
That's why nobody wants it and why, in America, it's bleached for clarity and odor.
It is available in large quantities, though ... as a dietary supplement for horses.
