A Canadian Success Story

 

A couple of years ago, 2 young women came into my store and introduced me to a 100% Canadian product, Three Farmer's Camelina Oil   - they were wonderful to work with and I have proudly carried this product at C'est Cheese Please! ever since.  This has been a Canadian success story including a pitch to the "Dragons" on Dragon's Den  (a shout-out here to Arlene Dickinson for her investment in this company!)

 

My daughter, Ainsley LOVES this product and uses it all the time.  It has a much higher burn point than  peanut oil which is the usual suspect when doing a stir-fry plus it is high in the Omega-3 oils and vitamin E and thus is a great choice when sautéing or stir-frying.  But maybe I should let Ainsley speak for herself!

 

""Cooking, at times the thought is daunting.  Long hours of work at demanding jobs, heading home to the waiting family or those errands and trying to fit in a trip to the gym...sometimes the question is "Do I have time to cook?"  In recent years my interest in food, cooking, presentation and all those other subjects has become a guilty pleasure.  Wouldn't it be nice to have all the time in the world to cook....a bit of a dream right now but for now with all those tasty dishes to try, I will keep on dreaming!  One of my go-to dishes is a simple pesto pasta - fresh vegetable, garlic, onions, zucchini, red pepper, spinach, artichokes and tomatoes (fresh from the garden when available but try cherry tomatoes  on those frosty winter nights!).  Sounds simple, but one evening I used a new oil to sauté that changed the taste of my dish in an incredible new way!  I had "borrowed" the sample bottle of Three Farmer's Camelina Oil  from my Mom - amazing!  It leaves such a smooth finish, coating the vegetables without that unpleasant oily taste, enhancing but not over-powering.  So if you are looking for a little tweak for an ol'standby dish, why not try Camelina Oil ($19.99 a bottle)?  Available at C'est Cheese Please!  A simple change for our hectic daily lifestyles!"
