About the product

Wellbear Camelina Oil is a 100% oil from camelina seeds (Camelina sativa), cold-pressed in a Polish oil mill. Camelina, also known as gold-of-pleasure, is an old crop that has recently returned to favor after decades of being forgotten - camelina oil is one of the oldest edible oils in this part of Europe.

Flavor comes first here: earthy, with a distinct note of onion and soil, quite different from flaxseed or rapeseed oil. It can take some getting used to, but once you like it, you tend to stay loyal to it. The oil is unrefined and unfiltered, which explains its golden-amber color and the natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle - just shake before use.

• 100% oil from camelina seeds - single ingredient, cold-pressed in Poland
• Cold-pressed - no heat treatment during production
• Unrefined and unfiltered - hence the color, flavor and natural sediment
• No preservatives, colorants or additives

Purpose

An oil for cold dishes only. Traditionally spread on bread instead of butter, with salt and pepper - the way it has been eaten in Poland for generations. Beyond that: salads, cabbage and carrot slaws, fermented vegetables, cottage cheese spreads, potatoes and grains drizzled once cooled, chilled soups. Add to cooked dishes only after they have cooled down. Not suitable for frying or baking - high heat degrades the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegan. Not recommended for people allergic to camelina.

How to use

1 tablespoon (12 g) a day - added to a dish just before serving or taken straight from the spoon. Because of its intense aroma, start with a smaller amount - even a little clearly changes the flavor of a dish. The oil is also sometimes used externally, for skin and hair care.

Storage

Keep refrigerated (4-10°C), in a dark, tightly closed bottle. Once opened, use within a month - unrefined oil oxidizes under light, heat and air. The date on the label also serves as the batch number.

Ingredients
