Rapeseed oil is manufactured from rape seed (brassica compestris). Rapeseed is the most common oil seed in Northern Europe. Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is cultivated as a summer and winter crop. The oil content of the small black seeds wavers around 40%. The preparation to edible oil and feed takes place in German oil mills. In addition, small oil mills for cold-pressed oils also produce for the local market.
