Here the nutritional aspects of the high oleic/low linolenic (HOLLi) varieties of rapeseed with a low alpha-linolenic acid content of about 3\% are reviewed. The content of alpha-linolenic acid amounting to around 9\% is the hallmark of the positive nutritional value of the original (erucic acid free) 00 varieties of rapeseed oil ("canola" quality in North America). n-3 fatty acids are endowed with the property to protect the cardiovascular system from chronic disease and the consumption of food containing n-3 fatty acids is explicitly recommended by national and international nutritional and medical authorities. Although the use of HOLLi with a low n-3 fatty acid content can be unavoidable for specific purposes, because of technological and health considerations the continuous future consumption of the original rapeseed oil with around 9\% of alpha-linolenic acid by the consumer should have high priority from the standpoint of public health. To pursue this aim confusion of the consumer must be avoided by creating a new name and a new brand for HOLLi varieties.}, language = {en} }
