Origin and properties: Macadamia nut oil is obtained by mechanical pressing. The macadamia nut tree originally comes from Australia, but has gradually spread to Haeaii, the Pacific region, South America and South Africa. The pressed oil is characterized by its mild, nutty aroma and taste, as well as its light yellow color. Subsequent refining (deacidification-bleaching-steaming) results in a very light oil with an almost neutral smell and taste.
