FAQ 1: What is Camelina Oil?

Camelina oil is a plant-based culinary oil, cold pressed from the seeds of Camelina sativa — an ancient oilseed crop. It is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), with 36–40% ALA content, and is naturally high in Vitamin E (tocopherols). It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor and a higher smoke point than flaxseed oil.

FAQ 2: How is your oil made?

We cold press camelina seeds in small batches locally. Cold pressing means no high heat is used during extraction, which preserves the natural fatty acids and tocopherols in the oil. The oil contains no additives — just pure Camelina seed oil.

FAQ 3: How do I use Camelina Oil?

Camelina oil is incredibly versatile. You can:

• Use it as a salad dressing or drizzle over vegetables
• Mix it into dips, hummus, or sauces
• Take it as a daily dietary supplement (1–2 tablespoons)
• Use it for light cooking — it has a higher smoke point than flaxseed oil
• Baking goods.

For maximum nutritional benefit, cold uses (dressings, supplements) are preferred as heat can reduce tocopherol content.

Tip 1: you may use it for skin and hair care.

Tip 2: you can also share with your pets to help with the health of the joints and furs.

FAQ 4: How should I store the oil?

Camelina oil is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration — this is one of its advantages over flaxseed oil. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 3–6 months for best quality. The bottle should always be kept sealed when not in use.

FAQ 5: What is the shelf life?

Unopened camelina oil has a shelf life of approximately 24 months when stored properly in a cool, dark location. Once opened, we recommend using within 6 months. Because our oil is unfiltered and contains no preservatives, proper storage is important to maintain freshness and nutritional quality.
