Light and golden oil with a nutty flavour - macadamia nut oil is wonderfully light and golden. Our oils are top quality, cold-pressed, extra virgin oils of the finest quality.
Great for all of your cooking needs - macadamia nut oil is perfect for drizzling, dipping, roasting, dressings and pesto
High levels of mono-unsaturated fats - this macadamia nut oil is high in mono-unsaturated fats as well as natural anti-oxidants and palmitoleic acid which aids fat metabolism.
Another key feature of macadamia oil is its extremely high monounsaturated fat content, around 80% to 85%. Monounsaturates are, put simply, good fats and have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and help the body burn fat more easily. Macadamias have only a mild nutty flavour (compared to say hazelnuts or walnuts) and so the oil is also mild, therefore macadamia oil is a really good for using in bulletproof coffee if you"re not a huge fan of coconut oil first thing in the morning! Mixes well, tastes good and doesn"t have any lingering aftertaste like some others.
Boasting a wonderfully smooth buttery flavour, macadamia oil is great for roasting, baking and deep-frying, and can also be used as a base for salad dressings and even a substitute for butter when baking.
One of the most important characteristics of macadamia oil is its high smoke point – between 210°C and 234°C degrees, macadamia oil is even healthier than olive oil and has a higher smoke point (i.e. it can be cooked at higher temperatures without burning, its fatty acid composition stays intact when frying and baking at high temperatures).
About 80% of the fat in macadamia nuts is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and they also contain omega 3 fatty acids.
How to use macadamia oil in the kitchen:
- As a marinade - macadamia oil also makes a fantastic base for a full-flavoured marinade.
- In a stir fry - a hot wok and macadamia oil is the perfect starting point for your next stir fry.
- As a substitute for butter when baking
- For roasting, both for meat or roasted vegetables
- For deep-frying - macadamia oil is ideal for deep-frying, offering a healthier alternative to other frying oils
