DESCRIPTION

Camelina oil is cold-pressed extracted from Camelina Sativa plant seeds, carrying a natural earthy aroma and characteristic nutty flavor profile. This unrefined material, otherwise referred to as virgin, may range in color due to natural variation of the raw material.

Camelina oil is advantageous in high heat applications due to its smoke point of 475°F, a higher smoke point than most carrier oils. As an ideal cooking oil for frying, grilling and sautéing, this raw material is often procured by food manufacturers or sold by large retailers as a preferred cooking oil. Aside from being a versatile cooking oil, it receives praise for its healthy balance of omega-3 fatty acids and is often taken as a nutritional supplement. Additionally, camelina oi yields antioxidant benefits due to its natural Vitamin E content. In the personal-care and cosmetic realm, camelina oil is used in massage therapy and for skincare product formulations such as moisturizing lotions, creams, and serums.
