About British rapeseed oil

British rapeseed oil is edible oil made from rapeseed grown in Britain. It is used for frying, roasting, dressings and baking, with suitability depending on whether it is refined or cold-pressed and on its flavour and heat tolerance.

The oil is liquid and usually golden yellow, though colour and aroma vary by processing. Refined versions tend to have a milder flavour; cold-pressed oil can have a more pronounced, nutty taste. The geographic descriptor indicates origin but not a specific extraction or refining method.
