Olive Oil from the Far East – About Camellia Oil

Camellia is nothing else but evergreen tea tree growing mostly in the area of China and Japan. For this reason camellia oil obtained from seeds of Camellia Japonica is also known as Tea Seed Oil.

In Japan and China this oil is a true revelation.

It hit the cosmetic, food and medical market. It is as popular as olive oil in Europe. Camellia tree reminds olive trees, and for this reason is called olive oil from the Far East. What is more, it has also as wide use as its European friend. However, camellia oil contains more unsaturated fatty acids (even 86% of oleic acid). Is significantly increases its antioxidant properties. Therefore it has better ability to neutralize free radicals, which may damage the cell membrane.
