Camellia oil has outstanding health benefits. It can reduce lipids, fight cancer, act as an antioxidant and enhance immunity. Its nutrients are stable at high temperatures; it can be either cooked or eaten directly which yields a pleasant light citric taste. Camellia oil has become the perfect choice for anyone trying to live a healthy lifestyle. It can be used as a skin moisturizer, hair care product, as well as herbal remedy and many more. With so many applications, camellia oil is second to none in the world of edible oil!

Originating from China, camellia oil is a unique, woody, and natural oil with a long history. It not only reflects traditional Chinese cuisine and health culture, but also carries more than 2,300 years of Chinese history and civilization.

Camellia trees prefer cold and wet climates. They only grow in high mountainous regions in southern China, making them incredibly scarce. Camellia trees have a long growth cycle of about 5-7 years; the fruit output is also low which makes camellia oil even more precious. By physical cold extraction, camellia seeds produce only 20% oil. That is why the local saying goes “A millenary camellia tree for a fifth of a pound oil”. 

Camellia oil has an abundance of nutrients that make it the ultimate edible oil. Its high nutrition value comes from unsaturated fatty acids, tea polyphenols, squalene, vitamins and other essential trace elements. The content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid in camellia oil is close to the Omega Meal Standard’s recommended ratio. Camellia oil beats all other edible oil in its high nutritional value and health benefits.
