Camelina oil has become a staple in my kitchen, and I'm continually impressed by its remarkable health benefits and delightful nutty taste. As a health-conscious individual, this oil has become my go-to choice for various culinary applications.First and foremost, the health benefits of camelina oil are exceptional. Its rich omega-3 fatty acid content contributes to heart health by reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and promoting a balanced cholesterol profile. I appreciate that it provides a favorable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, supporting an anti-inflammatory diet which is vital for overall well-being.The nutty taste of camelina oil adds a delightful dimension to my dishes. It brings a unique and earthy flavor that enhances the taste of salads, stir-fries, and even baked goods. I find it especially appealing when drizzled over roasted vegetables, adding a subtle richness that elevates the entire meal.Additionally, camelina oil's high smoke point makes it versatile for cooking at various temperatures without losing its nutritional value. It's reassuring to know that I can use this oil for a range of cooking methods, from sautéing to baking, without worrying about harmful compounds forming at high heat.Moreover, the natural antioxidants present in camelina oil contribute to its long shelf life, ensuring that the oil remains fresh and flavorful for an extended period. This longevity is a practical and economical aspect that aligns with my desire for sustainable and efficient kitchen practices.In conclusion, camelina oil has won me over with its dual appeal of health benefits and a delightful nutty taste. It has become an indispensable ingredient in my kitchen, allowing me to prioritize both my health and culinary enjoyment. I highly recommend incorporating camelina oil into your daily cooking—it's a small change that can make a big difference in your overall well-being and gastronomic experiences.

It is as healthy if not more so than olive oil. My opinion. Leaves no bad aftertaste. One of my favorite cooking oils.

It's my second time purchasing now—best quality with the best health benefits!

I've tried perilla oil and flaxseed oil for source of omega 3. I love perilla oil. I don't care for the taste of flaxseed oil, it's bitter and somewhat fishy. But both are not meant to cook with heat. When I found Camelina oil can use for cooking but heat doesn't effect the health benefit, I thought this would be the life changer. Description of nutty taste was also enchanting. I do taste of nuttiness. It still has slight bitterness as well as fishy smell to it but not as strong as flaxseed oil. When you cook, it does have fishy smell at first too.Overall, I like the product for the health benefit.

Even if you are a meat eater like I, you may like it! Green eaters definitely will, tastes like “green” even it’s nice oil!

First off, I was sent a free sample of camelina seeds with my purchase which was a nice surprise!I purchased this for its low ratio of omega 6 (inflammatory) to omega 3 (anti-inflammatory.) Camelina has a ratio of 1.5:1 - in contrast, olive oil has a 12.8:1 ratio, avocado oil has a 13.09:1 ratio, canola oil and hemp oil have a 2:1 ratio; and coconut, grape seed, and peanut oil are off the charts (some of the worst omega 3 to 6 ratios among any food). The only oil with a better omega 3 to 6 ratio would be flax, but as omega 3 spoils quickly, it can be impractical to use. I can't afford to toss out expensive oil after just a week or two. What I love about this oil is that its naturally high vitamin E content functions as a natural preservative, and allows it to stay fresh for far, far longer than flax.The only healthier fat source would be using flax oil, marine algae oil, or whole ground flax or chia. Camelina is a more *versatile* alternative to these foods, and a *healthier* alternative to pretty much every other fat source besides these.The price per oz is comparable to a medium quality olive oil.The flavor is slightly nutty, slightly green like spinach, but isn't too strong. Not too noticeable mixed into a dish.If you can afford it, I feel it's worth it. If not, use canola oil.For more info on omega 3/6 effects and the ratios of different foods Google "omega 3 6 ratio wiki." There's an excellent Wikipedia on the subject.

Am a tad disappointed in the taste. It is too green tasting. I M looking for an algae oil. Clean and no flavor. This is not what I expected.My daughter is more into unusual tastes and she didn't care for this oil.

Cold pressed camelina oil is difficult to find in the U.S. I first had it in Europe at a wellness spa where it was used more as a condiment (that is, added on top of cooked food) than to cook with because used cold it is high in omega (using it for cooking, as with any cold pressed oil, eliminates the health benefit). In the past, I have brought bottles home with me in my suitcase. This is the first time I've bought it in the U.S. It had the same light and flowery taste as the oil I used in Europe, and it seems to be very fresh and comes in a dark bottle to help slow down the deterioration of the oil. My favorite use is instead of butter on avocado toast where the flavor really comes out; it is also nice sprinkled over sautéed vegetables or on top of soup, something that will let the beautiful flavor of this oil come through. As with all cold pressed oils, it is important to store it in the refrigerator once opened, but unlike coconut oil or ghee, the camelina oil will not harden or solidify in the cold. Highly recommend.
