I think I may be on the verge of becoming an oil snob...

My love affair with macadamia nut oil dates back to December 2014 when we first moved to the farm. I remember my taste buds literally exploding. As the subtle nutty aroma hit my lips, my belly agreed and said 'hello, I've been looking for you'. I knew I would never buy olive oil again and I haven't. 

One of the things I love about this wonder oil is when you get it on your hands while cooking, no problemo! Simply rub it all over yourself! That's right folks, up your arms, down your legs, into your hands...all over your face because not only does it make you smell divine, but it has anti-ageing properties too. Let's just say, that Farmer Mick and I like to keep a bottle of macca oil (as we affectionately call it), in our bedroom because once you have a macca massage, you will never go back! 

Pillowtalk aside, macadamia nut oil is extremely versatile and can be used in almost any savoury or sweet recipe. With a beautiful nutty aroma that complements baking, salads and is perfect for stir frying (we love drizzling over fish) this super-oil has stolen my heart.

The Bare facts about Macadamia Nut Oil

• Barenuts Macadamia Oil is made from 100% cold pressed premium macadamias and nothing else
• Macadamia Nut Oil is unique in its fatty acid composition, having approximately 80% mono-unsaturated acids in its triglycerides, of which 15% - 21% is Palmitoleic Acid, which is very similar to the sebum produced by human skin.
• Has a very high smoke point so perfect for frying fish.

 
Seriously, no hard sell is required when it comes these Australian native bursts of goodness because look at all the greatness that each little nut contains!

• Healthy fats

I challenge you to the switch today, from olive oil that is...and rest assure, I'm not a complete oil snob just yet, I still buy truffle oil, avocado oil + coconut oil because I love them and mixed with macadamia nut oil, well that right there is a whole other post.
