Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil is a standout choice when compared to olive, coconut, canola, peanut and other cooking oils.

Omega Fatty Acids:

We’ve got a superior balance of omega-3 and 6 compared to other oils.

Plus, macadamia oil is one of the only cooking oils to have omega-7 and omega-9.

High Smoke Point:

Our macadamia oil can handle the heat with a smoke point of around 210°C (410°F). Perfect for frying, roasting, and grilling without breaking down and losing its nutritional goodness.

Mono-unsaturated Fats:

Our macadamia oil is chock full of monounsaturated fats, mainly oleic acid, making up to 82% of its total. This beats avocado and olive oils!

Antioxidants:

Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil packs in more antioxidants, which help keep your cells healthy. Look at that Squalene!

Nut oils, like macadamia oil, stand out for their high content of monounsaturated fats, a type of healthy fat linked to improved heart health and reduced inflammation.

They also boast a balanced fatty acid profile, often containing more balanced omega 6 to omega 3 ratios compared to seed oils, which makes them nutritionally advantageous.

Additionally, nut oils are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E, and their stability at high temperatures makes them well-suited for a variety of cooking methods, from frying to baking, without breaking down their nutritional benefits.

In contrast, seed oils such as those produced from crops like canola, sunflower, and soybean are typically processed on an industrial scale.

This often involves high-heat extraction and chemical refinement, which can degrade sensitive nutrients and alter the oil’s flavour.

Seed oils are known for their higher levels of polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega 6 fatty acids. While omega 6 is essential in moderation, excessive intake, especially when not balanced with omega 3, has been associated with inflammation.

Seed oils have also gained a reputation for being "unhealthy by association" due to their prevalence in processed foods. Their low production costs and long shelf life make them staples in industrial food manufacturing.

Despite this, seed oils can have their place in cooking when used sparingly and balanced within a diverse diet.

For those seeking a more nutrient-dense and flavourful option, minimally processed nut oils like macadamia oil offer distinct advantages. They provide a more stable fatty acid profile, retain their natural antioxidants, and elevate dishes with their unique and rich taste—making them a premium choice for health-conscious cooking.

Vitamins and Minerals:

In addition to its' healthy fats, our oil is a good source of essential nutrients. Each tablespoon gives you about 0.1 mg of iron and 0.6 mg of magnesium, plus notable levels of vitamin E, making it more nutrient-dense than many other cooking oils.

Skin Health:

Thanks to its naturally occurring palmitoleic acid, macadamia oil is great for your skin, helping to keep you feeling smooth and hydrated.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties:

The oleic acid in our macadamia oil has anti-inflammatory properties, supporting overall health and well-being.

Nutrient Absorption:

Fats like those in macadamia oil are essential for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, making sure you get the most out of your meals.
