My default is EVOO but sometimes a recipe calls for something more neutral-tasting.

As I understand it, refined olive oil is a compromise because it’s more processed (but at least it’s not a seed oil), whereas cold pressed rapeseed oil is less processed but is obviously… a seed oil.

(I live in a country where rapeseed oil is made locally, unlike olive oil, so that’s one unrelated benefit in terms of carbon footprint)

Any thoughts / opinions / evidence on which is the better option in terms of processing would be gratefully received!
