They want us to confuse with Olive Oil
Yep, also has the "Extra Virgin" Canola Oil
Definitely feels like it was some marketing intern's brainwave to cash in on the shortage
Yep total scam product. It's placed on the shelf immediately next to the olive oil tins too. "Extra Virgin.." printed boldly in gold then Canola oil printed in a smaller different colour underneath.
So how does Canola becomes extra virgin?
exactly, marketing BS & shame on supermarkets (not surprised though, no different than them taking the piss with blending olive oil & vegetable oil)
Same way my wife did after we got married
Machine oil yum.
Crazy time we live in, wine is cheaper than pepsi, ad blue cheaper than extra virgin olive oil
EVCO - you heard it here first.
This is just a scam. The 2L version is $8.80 same brand and even same cold pressed, etc. Normal price $11, so 4 litres should be $22.
Not sure how it doubles the price when they put it in a can. Maybe the can is very expensive.https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/483358/geo…
Cause the 4L are 'half price' every few weeks at Woolworths, so the 'real price' of the 4L should be $19.
Yep, not a deal.
If you claim it's not a deal then show us where you can get 4L of cold pressed canola oil for less than $19.
Edit: To answer my own question, it would be 2 x same brand in 2L plastic bottle @ $8.80. Woolworths Trend shows this is the best price it has been for at least 6 months. Perhaps this deal should have been for the 2L option, or at least also mention that option.
Some people may be happy to pay a little more for the metal container.
Wait till rapeseed oil producers get on this wagon
Same stuff.
Where can I buy Extra Virgin rapeseed oil?
You're right. This is extra virgin rapeseed oil. GM modified too
Seriously needs to be negged, just for using "extra virgin" and "canola" in the same sentence
I dare you. go on.
its probably better then normal oil as it is cold pressed
Canola is canola, regardless how they made. It's like sugar is sugar, there is no healthy sugar!
At least sugar doesn't go through the crazy amount of processing that canola oil does. Not making excuses for sugar - just highlighting how extensivley processed canola is… Even if it's 'cold pressed'
Completely untrue. The only issue with canola oil is the chemical extraction. Naturally pressed canola is fine.
@OzzyBrak: @OzzyBrak I agree. Here's their process 👇. I feel it's a step in the right direction. The right direction being no vegetable oil at home. But the missus doesn't wanna do animal fats 😂.
@OrderedChaos: I guess you are saying problem is processing, is there not so i guess there might be something which isnt so much processed
@onegpt: I see it this way - Chemical and solvent processing is, rationally, problematic. Removing this, which the brand I linked in is doing, has to be better than the chemical solvent possessed version. Less processing is (highly likely to be) better. Hence I do buy this.
The question is whether the oil itself a) contains harmful components - e.g. erucic acid, or b) harmful components are created during heating. I haven't been able to source any data for cold pressed oil so don't know, but revert to Less processing is better principle 🙂.
The final step would be to replace it with long used plant oils - olive, coconut, palm - or animal fats - tallow, lard, etc
@OrderedChaos: I purchased a 1L to try and it is reasonable, it doesn’t taste like traditional cheap canola.
I’d only buy it to save money if quality olive oil was too expensive or for cooking oil.
I’ve only been commenting here to try and provide correct information as all of the random incorrect takes are getting upvoted.
The positives are Coota seeds seem to be a sort of grower co-op and they seem committed to cold pressing and GMO free.
Once prices drop a bit I’ll go back to Australian olive oil from Aldi.
Rendering your own animal fats is the way to go, bring back the old dripping drawer.
It’s Riverina canola, cold pressed by Cootamundra oil seeds. Your link and neg aren’t valid.
Cootamundra Oilseeds, established in 1991 through the collaborative efforts of community-based growers, visionary leaders, and investors, embarked on a journey that has significantly evolved over the years. In 1992, the company marked a pivotal moment with the commissioning of its inaugural oilseed processing plant, initiating the crushing of just over 2000 metric tons. Through a steadfast commitment to ongoing improvement, our seed processing capacity has impressively grown to reach 36,000 metric tons annually.
The heart of our operation lies in the art of coldpressing, a process that yields high-energy canola meal, a prized component in stock feed for a multitude of animal species. It's paramount to emphasize that every canola seed procured by Cootamundra Oilseeds carries a promise of being NON-GMO, exemplifying our unwavering dedication to both quality and sustainability.
Fair enough. The link was valid, but I will retract the neg.
i thought only olive oil could be "extra virgin"
"a prized component in stock feed for a multitude of animal species".
Glad someone finally acknowledged Darwin!20L of this is 40 odd bucks at Costco.
You're better off waiting for a sale on EVOO unless you really want to deep fry food. I wouldn't be surprised if these producers still use hexane and solvents but pass it off as 'cold pressed'.
The claim that they don't use chemicals or solvents here. I've purchased it on that basis.

Hopefully there's a repeat of last week's La Española, $12.70/L effective price irrc.
seed oils are highly oxidated and create oxidative stress and mass inflammation in the body and is a leading cause of lifestyle diseases and strokes. stick to avocado oil or animal fats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lRXZfs6Sjs
What about olive oil?
Olive's are fruits, not seeds
Thanks what about mustard oil? As per ChatGPT it is better then other seed oils like canola oil and also has a high smoke point unlike olive oil
@onegpt: It's not all about smoke points.
Evoo is highly stable even with high heat cooking (not for the wok obviously)
Also vegetable oil, just don't buy.
It’s amazing how peer reviewed publications are ignored in favour of one guy on YouTube.
It’s also why some people in the US think the meteorologists made the recent hurricanes and directed them at Florida. And that there’s a secret “category 6”.
The contents in this deal are sprinkled with “seed oil bad for you” responses. Of anyone can provide a peer reviewed, published scientific paper on it, I’d be interested to read it.
I found something I don't know if it is any good . Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks . Also plant seed oils which makes nuttlex pulse also claim to lower cholesterol
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/nutrition-research-r…@onegpt: This study only looked at olive, sunflower, fish, and palm oils
"Benefits of sunflower-seed oil supplementation
Despite modulation of the serum lipid profile and the provision of essential fatty acids which may help in the regulation of inflammation, SFO has a neutral effect on the cardiovascular system. This makes SFO an excellent choice as a control oil in cardiovascular research. The beneficial effect of SFO in ischaemia–reperfusion injury can only be clarified with additional studies.Due to the positive effects on the serum lipid profile, this oil may lead to a decrease in atherosclerosis and therefore should be considered to be beneficial to cardiovascular health. In contrast, however, if SFO is not used sparingly in the diet, it may lead to pro-oxidant effects and thus increase susceptibility to cardiovascular disorders."
"From the studies that have been done, however, it is clear that the oils that have been reviewed in the present article all may form part of a healthy diet. Each oil seems to have some beneficial effects. It may be that some undesirable effects are still to be elucidated in these oils and there is still controversy about the beneficial effects of some of these oils. However, from the current literature, these oils all have more beneficial effects on cardiovascular health than detrimental effects, if supplemented to the diet in acceptable proportions."
Tldr: Don't consume too much oil
This shit is toxic, canola oil is not safe for human consumption.
Every time I see this, I keep thinking it's Olive Oil since it's in a tin.
Canola Oil usually comes in plastic bottles.
