Macadamia Oil

Macadamia Oil is made from Macadamia Nuts that are cold-pressed to extract the oil. The oil has a lightly nutty flavour and a reasonably high smoke point of 389 F (198 C.) You won’t want to use it too much for frying with though, as it is quite expensive.

As of 2004, two of the more prominent commercial brands are “MacNut” from Australia and “Macadamia Nut Oil” from Hawaii.

Cooking Tips

You could use it to fry up chicken or white fish in, though there are cheaper oils to use. Many people use it in hearty cakes such as carrot cake or muffins.

Storage Hints

Can be stored on a shelf up to 12 months after opening. Perhaps the only nut oil that is shelf-stable without requiring refrigeration.
