Organically grown in remote, pollution-free mountains at an elevation of 1500-4000 ft, Tea Seed Oil (Tea Oil) camellia trees have been a hidden treasure for centuries. Only after seven years do the young Camellia trees produce seeds. Once the seeds appear, it takes a full year of further natural growth for them to swell with nutrients before they can be hand picked. Only then is Arette Tea Seed Oil (Tea Oil) produced from cold pressing. Arette Organic Tea Seed Oil is cherished by gourmets and chefs. With subtle nutty flavor, tea-like aroma, and high smoke point, Arette Tea Seed Oil (Tea Oil) is excellent for healthy cooking: sautéing, stir frying, baking, in salad dressings and more. Store at room temperature. Oil may solidify or become cloudy at low temperature. Product of China.
