Evaluating Lola Oil, a liquid cooking oil (coconut + macademia blend) with ultra saturated, low linoleic acid cooking oil designed to be a seed oil killer.

Seems of the same type of stuff as the Zero Acre Farms sludge. The high processing is suspect.
Zero Acres is cultivated from GMO algae.
Lola is just macadamian nut (only peaty nut) and coconut oil.
Specs look good. Not organic. Not sure about the process; if I like it I will reach out to them to learn more before using it regularly or recommnding.
Interested to hear more 🫡
The wife likes a neutral oil for certain things. She cooks alot of Japanese food. Current options are this and low PUFA lard.
Pasture-raised but not completely grass fed Ghee could be the move there. Lighter in color, more neutral flavor.
I may or may not be coming out with that product in a couple of days
Thoughts on using macadamia nut as a cooking oil? As I understand it, nuts are relatively delicate around high heat.
Assuming low levels of linoleic acid in the body, it's fine to have a couple time a week, especially blended with coconut oil as Lola is.
We use it at my house; tastes great when neutral oil is needed for certain dishes (Asian dishes for us).
- Ultra low linoleic acid.
- High saturated fat.
- Moderate monounsaturated fat.
- Low PUFA compared to other nuts.
- High palmitoleic acid (anti inflammatory).
Of all the nuts, macadamia is actually completely peaty in low/mod quantities.
Other option is Low PUFA Lard from Nourish Coop.
Helpful, thanks!
Any insight into soy sauce and sesame oil? We moved to only using both as finishing oils rather than cooking in them. I'm a little dubious about the quality of the sesame oil we get but haven't had the chance to research alternatives yet.
We get some lard from local Amish farmers. Will make a note of Nourish Coop though. 👌
