Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth, Inc. • Product of Kenya • Cold-Pressed and Unrefined

Macadamia Nut Oil is a top choice among nutritionists and its mild flavor makes it a versatile choice perfect for cooking, sauces, salads, and more.

But organic, unblended macadamia oils of high quality are hard to find -- we encountered many that failed the taste test before finding a great organic oil.

Our velvety smooth Organic Macadamia Nut Oil features a wonderfully light, delicate flavor that brings out the natural goodness of favorite foods -- especially fish -- without overpowering them.

Health benefits

  • Like olive oil, but unlike most cooking oils, Macadamia Nut Oil is very rich in monunsaturated fatty acids -- which can lower cholesterol levels and may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
  • It is also very low in the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids in which American diets are overabundant. This makes Macadamia Nut Oil a smart alternative to the most commonly used, omega-6-heavy cooking oils (corn, soy, canola, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed).
  • Macadamia Nut Oil offers a higher ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids (1:1) than olive or canola oils.

Storage
For optimal freshness, keep your Macadamia Nut Oil in a cool, dark place, and use it within four months of opening. Or, keep it in your refrigerator for up to one year. Chilled Macadamia Nut Oil will become cloudy, with no harm to its flavor or nutrition value.

Serving tips
Macadamia Nut Oil has a somewhat higher "smoke point" than olive oil, but it is still best to limit its cooking use to temperatures of 400 degrees or less.
Macadamia Oil makes delicious dressings and dips, and you can add it to dishes after they’ve been cooked.
Macadamia Oil is great on salads or drizzled on bread and crackers.
Its versatility even extends beyond the kitchen: should the occasion require, it makes a superior massage and moisturizing oil.
