Nuts

Refined

Refined macadamia oil is processed to reduce colour, free fatty acids, and strong aroma, yielding a milder fat for warmer cooking and formulas that need oil without loud nut perfume. High monounsaturated content still supports relatively clean heat behaviour compared with more fragile nut oils. Flavour is quiet—sometimes almost silent—so taste before dressing a salad if you expected macadamia character. Use when neutral behaviour matters: commercial baking fats, light sauté bases, or blended oils. Keep sealed and cool; refinement helps stability but is not immortality. Labels should distinguish refined from virgin or cold-pressed when flavour is the point. This is pure fat, not a protein food. Discard any bottle that smells oxidised.
