Proud and passionate: Chantal Van Winden’s signature
What makes Chantal Van Winden most proud of her company is, above all, the passion that drives her and her team. It’s no coincidence that she’s now introduced everywhere she goes as “Madame Camelina.” Each day, the team works with dedication and enthusiasm to share the wonders of camelina oil with the world.
This growing recognition reflects the company’s success and positive impact on the food market. By offering superior products that are beneficial both for health and for the environment, Signé Caméline is helping shape a future where gastronomy goes hand in hand with well-being and sustainability.
Camelina: a plant with countless benefits
Camelina is far more than a simple plant. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, it offers many health benefits. With 35% omega-3, one teaspoon of camelina oil meets your daily needs.
Its impact goes even further: as a member of the crucifer family, camelina supports soil biodiversity and helps maintain ecosystem balance. Certified non-GMO and grown while integrating bees into its cultivation, Signé Caméline is committed to sustainable, environmentally respectful agriculture.
Camelina oil for every taste
What makes camelina oils so unique is their refined, distinctive flavor. Virgin camelina oil offers delicate notes of asparagus, hazelnut, and fresh herbs. Toasted camelina oil features notes of roasted peanuts and a flavor reminiscent of toasted sesame.
These oils awaken the palate and enhance everything from the simplest meals to the most refined dishes. Their gentle, balanced profiles make them ideal ingredients for all kinds of culinary creations—from salads to desserts, including slow-simmered dishes.
Local commitment: the Aliments du Québec logo
For Signé Caméline, the Aliments du Québec logo adds significant value by highlighting the products’ local character and exceptional quality. It is a mark of quality and authenticity that underscores the company’s commitment to Quebec’s agri-food sector.
By proudly displaying the logo, Signé Caméline affirms its fully Quebec roots and values, while offering customers the assurance of outstanding local products.
Signé Caméline: recognized excellence
