Arette Organic Tea Seed Oil, 3 Count

It is only because of omega 6 & omega 3 ratio discussions that I don't give this an out & out 5 stars. One of the very best high heat oils, with the very slightest of nice nutty flavors imparted, ...it seems to be good for anything and everything so far.

So, it turns out that Camellia oil comes in three main varieties. Tea seed oil for cooking tends to come from Camellia oleifera seeds; this oil has a very high heat point and is very very low in saturated fats. It's used extensively in Hunan province. I use this when roasting chicken and potatoes, and also for stove-top cooking. The taste is fairly neutral and pleasant.The oil I use on my knives,  Tsubaki Oil 3.4oz , is made from Camellia japonica seeds. The Yoshihiro oil is food-grade, so I save that bottle for the knives; if you're maintaining tools that aren't coming into contact with food, then this oil is more than good enough, and a much better value per oz.Finally, another tea seed oil is made by cold-pressing Camellia sinensis seeds Camellia Seed Organic Carrier Oil Cold Pressed 100% Pure 32 Oz ; I use this one primarily to moisturize and to protect my slate countertops-- it's fixed my ugly dry elbows *and* the water stains on my slate. However the Arette oil is currently the best brice per ounce, I may just switch over to using the Arette for moisturizing too :-)

Amazing flavor and health benefits ! I am so delighted to have this. Only issue is that one of the bottles has a cap that is faulty so I have to figure out how to get it open. I can't wait to share this with my Mom who deals with arthritis given positive IF rating that makes it an anti-inflammatory.

I love cooking with olive oil, but there are some cuisines whose flavors are a bad match with it. This oil is the perfect alternative to use where olive oil isn't appropriate. It cooks very much the same, but the flavor is a much more neutral, subtly nutty flavor. It's a great compliment to most hispanic and asian cuisines! I've also given out a couple bottles as gifts and gotten rave reviews, so I'd highly recommend it!

Not a real tea seed oil .

I love the taste and the smell, I never use extra virgin olive oil to cook my veg anymore. for frying , I prefer to use butter . this product is excellent, I have been used this oil for more than a year now.

The bottle shows the expiration date/Best by⋯⋯. And It shows:Product of China , Manufactured for Arette Foods IncI feel the quality of the product is very good. I have used it for many years. Love it!

This tea seed oil is great to cook with -- delicate flavor, not greasy, takes heat, keeps food from sticking to the pan. It's definitely an under-used oil in my book. I keep EVOO, organic avocado oil, and tea seed oil around for various cooking tasks and flavors. Consider trying it.
