    This does not add up.
    If it contains 94% unsaturated fatty acid then it contains 94% acid.
    I think it might be . . . . Camellia Oil contains 82.3% acid OF WHICH over 94% is unsaturated fatty acid. . . . . .

    I've had Coles in Victoria check state wide and they do not stock it in ANY Coles store in Victoria (including the 3 super coles stores).
    I've checked Woolies (5 stores) and they don't have it.
    Checked a few health food shops and they don't have it and had never heard of it.
    Check dozens of asian grocers in Dandenong and springvale, they don't have it.

    Object to being ripped off and buying it as a tool oil.

    So if anyone finds any in Victoria, let me know where please.

    Like Nick, I bought a couple of bottles from Coles more than a couple of years back.
    It was in the Asian Foods section and was called Camelia Tea Oil.
    There is a discussion of it when I last remember it coming up - HERE.

    Cheers

    You know when you are getting old because you start talking about things that you've never discussed before - again!

    Default camellia oil

    I've found that importing it from toolsfromjapan works out almost as cheap as buying it over here.

    Bev, i have found this the best stuff to use here in NQ, but I rub it on, leave for an hour or so, and buff it off. It then tends to harden up, and it is much better than Silverglide up here,
    I bought my bottle from Woolies, but they no longer stock it, but we could track it down from the label.
    rgds,
    Crocy.
