Bornholm rapeseed oil

What's it taste like? Does it have a specific flavor all it's own or is there something I can substitute for it in a recipe if I can't find some?

Well, rapeseed oil is just canola. I don't know if Bornholm is something special, but canola is a marketing whiz' answer to the problem of it being called rapeseed.

That's what I thought I had read somewhere before but I just wanted to check and make sure I wasn't missing something important here. Thanks, Abra!

Canola is tasteless and odourless (at room temp.) but it is possible to find cold pressed, organic canola in some health food stores. There may be some flavour there.

Actually, Canola is a special variety of rapeseed that was bred to have little or no erucic acid and bitter-tasting glucosinolates, and tastes different than traditional rapeseed. Its not simply another name for rapeseed.

A quick google of Bornholm rapeseed oil: produced with heat, enzymes and water (instead of hexane) in Denmark. Sold in health food stores, and used by Danish chefs. There is no indication of flavour, so it may be flavourless, like Canola.
