5 ways to cook with camelina oil
Signé Caméline camelina oil stands out for its unique flavor, with notes of hazelnut, sesame, and herbaceous aromas that shine just as much in cold dishes as in cooking. In addition to being a product of Québec, this oil is remarkable for its naturally high omega-3 content (up to 35%, which is significant compared to canola oil at 10% and olive oil at only 1%).
We’re sharing our top 5 best ways to cook with this great Québec innovation!
For Grilling
With a higher smoke point than most oils on the market—475°F—camelina oil has another remarkable advantage. It’s the perfect ally for grilling and sautéing! Tip: for even more flavor, marinate your main dishes in a camelina oil–based marinade. For extra inspiration, check out our marinated pork with camelina oil recipe here.
In Salad Dressings
How about 100% Québec-made vinaigrettes? Reinvent your dressings by replacing your usual oils with the subtle hazelnut and sesame notes of camelina oil—a great way to boost your daily omega-3 intake at the same time. We’re sharing ours here, perfect in a warm salad of braised endives and Nordic shrimp.
In Tartare
The soft, floral aroma of camelina oil pairs beautifully with fresh fish or beef in a tartare. Don’t forget camelina seeds as a topping for poke bowls or sushi!
In Desserts
When it’s time to prepare your favorite sweet recipes, why not replace butter with a Québec oil known for its remarkable nutritional properties? Discover the exquisite Signé Caméline camelina and cranberry brownies recipe here.
