DESCRIPTION
Camelina (Camelina sativa), also known as false flax or German sesame, is an annual plant of the Brassicaceae family, formerly Cruciferae, native to Northern Europe and Central Asia. Cultivated for nearly 4,000 years, it gradually fell into disuse during the 19th century. Today, there is renewed interest in the plant since its oil, which is very similar to flaxseed oil, was recognised as a foodstuff in 1998 by the French public authorities responsible for consumer affairs. It can be used externally on the skin or in massage, as well as internally in salads, where it adds a subtle flavour somewhere between asparagus and almonds. Never cook it, as this will cause it to lose all its beneficial properties.
Camelina oil
The seeds are sourced from sustainable agriculture. They are carefully cleaned to guarantee their authentic taste. The oil obtained by cold pressing, without altering its nutritional qualities, undergoes a final filtration process to give it a pure and shiny appearance.
Camelina oil is the perfect accompaniment to your dishes and salads. It will delight your taste buds with its rich and delicate flavors.
