Camelina oil

Impolan Kasvitila's cold-pressed Camelina oil is carefully made from Finnish camelina seeds by mechanical cold pressing. The gentle manufacturing method preserves the seeds' valuable nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid, tocopherols (vitamin E) and plant sterols.

Camelina seed oil contains 40–47% of the dry matter. Up to 54% of the oil’s fatty acids are polyunsaturated – significantly more than in rapeseed oil (32%). The proportion of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) is approximately 40% (rapeseed 8%), and the proportion of linoleic acid (omega-6) is 15% (rapeseed 20%). This balanced and rich fatty acid composition has been found to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health, especially by reducing LDL cholesterol.

Camelina oil is also rich in plant sterols – a total of 442 mg / 100 g , the main part of which is sitosterol. Cold-pressed camelina oil effectively preserves sterols and natural antioxidants, such as vitamin E, providing protection against oxidation and helping to maintain balanced cholesterol levels.

Versatile and tasty oil for cooking

Camelina oil is ideal for:

• salad dressings

• as a garnish for cooked vegetables

• for baking

• for warm dishes (medium heat)

Used as such, camelina oil's refined, almondy aroma is best showcased.
