Camelina oil

Our cold pressed camelina oil has high Omega 3 content (35%), as well as a unique and balanced fatty acid profile: Omega 3 (35%), Omega 6 (20%) and Omega 9 (35%).
Unlike other high Omega 3 oils, camelina oil has high natural antioxidants, including Vitamin E content (tocopherols), which grants the oil a high oxidation stability and avoiding rancidity issues (with up to 2 years shelf life).
