Vegetable (soybean) oil and canola (rape seed) oil are both synthetic oils. Neither one is produced by simply pressing or melting the fat out of their seeds. Both require some rather extreme chemical processing.

Other oils by comparison, such as safflower oil, or olive oil, and butter are pressed or mechanically separated. While tallow and lard are "rendered" or melted animal fats.
