Historical background of organic camellia oil

Tea oil is a unique traditional edible vegetable oil in China, and its production and development have a long history. According to the narration in Shan Hai Jing in the 3rd century BC, "The staff is made of wood, and the south is made of oil and grain". The "official wood" mentioned here is Camellia oleifera, which means that people in China began to extract oil from Camellia oleifera fruit and eat it. Historically, tea oil used to be used for royal meals. According to historical records, using millet flour as raw material, together with almonds, peanuts, kelp, diced tofu, condiments and tea oil, is a recipe for imperial cuisine, which shows that enjoying tea oil is a status symbol.
