About camelina oil

Camelina oil is often confused with flaxseed oil because of the similar German names, but it is made from a different plant. Camelina has characteristic yellow flowers and belongs to the cruciferous family.

Use

This organic camelina oil is excellent for cold cuisine. Drizzle it over finished dishes, salads, dips, vegetables or muesli. It has a mild, slightly pea-like taste and should not be used for frying.

Quality

The oil is cold pressed from organically grown camelina seeds and bottled in raw-food quality. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and naturally contains omega-3 fatty acids.

Storage

Store cool, dark and tightly closed, ideally in the refrigerator. If the oil tastes bitter, rancid or fishy, it should no longer be used.
