Experience Macadamia Nut Oil
“Anew kind of oil that’s nutty but nice…with an attractive hint of nuttiness,” said The New York Times about MacNut Oil. Celebrity chefs love its 410 degree F smoke point and buttery flavor that enriches every recipe—hot or cold, from fish to pancakes. One-hundred-percent-premium Australian Macadamia nut oil complements the Mediterranean Diet in that it is significantly richer than olive oil in monounsaturated fats. These fats have been shown to lower cholesterol and offer other health benefits. Experience MacNut Oil; it makes a great gift. Kosher. Contact: Andy Hopkins, MacNut Oil, P.O.
