THE FIVE SEASONS® Camellia Oil LITE comes from the virgin cold press of high-quality Camellia Oleifera seeds.
It has a clear bright amber colour and a very smooth feel, leaving a pleasantly mild sweet aroma in your tongue. This lighter variation is ideal for adding into foods that already have great flavour. It is a more desirable choice when preparing vegetarian dishes compared to some other heavier oils. Because of its light, thin properties, THE FIVE SEASONS® Camellia Oil LITE is very easy to digest and absorb by the body. No more worrying about leaving greasy residues on our finger or kitchenware.
What Makes Camellia Oil So VALUABLE?

Usage: Salad Dressings, Dips, Marinades and Sauces. Suitable for Sautéing, Frying, Braising, Roasting.
