Macadamia Nut Oil
You can travel the world over, and not find a more perfect cooking oil than Macadamia Nut Oil. Its naturally high smoke point (400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) allows for excellent cooking versatility, and even helps reduce the production of trans fatty acids.
To ensure quality and purity, Nut Hawai'i Macadamia Nut Oil uses only unrefined, unhybridized macadamias. These organically grown nuts are superior in quality and account for its unique nutritional profile.
At 81% monounsaturated fat, 2% polyunsaturated fat and an incredibly low 2.2 grams of saturated fat, Nut Hawai'i Macadamia Nut Oil has one of the healthiest unsaturated to saturated fat ratios, even greater than that of olive oil.
To retain the naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes, we rely on an expeller press and double filtration process. This, coupled with its delicious nutty flavor, makes Macadamia Nut Oil the perfect complement to chicken, fish, vegetables, stir fry and salad dressings.

Q: Everyone tells me that olive oil is the healthiest oil to use. Is that not
true any more?
A: Well, it never really was true, but olive oil was the best we had. Olive oil is far superior to most every other oil out there except MacNut Oil. While olive oil is considered heart-healthy because of its 70% monounsaturated fat content, MacNut Oil has up to 85% monounsaturated fat, making it even healthier. The main problem with olive oil has always been its instability. Olive oil deteriorates at room temperature and burns, depending on age and quality, at 350ºF or below, which is lower than the temperatures used in baking and sautéing. MacNut Oil has a smoke point of 410ºF - significant improvement.
Because olive oil is far less stable than MacNut oil, olive oil needs to be refrigerated and makes it harder to use. The overpowering flavor of olive oil can be another issue for some people. MacNut Oil because of its light, nutty and buttery flavor makes it a far better choice for cooking omelets, sautéing delicate flavors, stir-frying, and even baking. However, if you want to use olive oil cold, e.g. in salad dressings or to add after cooking to your favorite Italian recipes, that's okay. I would highly recommend you make the switch to MacNut Oil for any other cooking oil need.
