Why our bakery will never use cooking oils ( like canola or vegetable oil) in our baked goods

Why we don’t use Cooking Oils

At Olivia's Home Bakery, we take pride in crafting delicious macarons that not only taste delightful but are also made with the utmost care for your well-being. One key aspect of our commitment to quality is our choice to steer clear of certain cooking oils, particularly canola oil and others known for their inflammatory properties. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons behind our oil choices and explore why avoiding certain oils is essential for promoting your health. We'll also provide reliable sources to support our claims.

The Trouble with Inflammatory Oils

Not all cooking oils are created equal, and the type of oil you use can significantly impact your health. Some cooking oils have been linked to inflammation, which can contribute to a range of health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and chronic inflammation disorders.

1. Canola Oil: A Notorious Culprit

One of the oils we diligently avoid is canola oil. While it's commonly used in many kitchens, canola oil has been associated with inflammation due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content. The imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the diet can promote inflammation. [Source: Harvard Health Publishing]

2. Vegetable Oil: A Misleading Moniker

Vegetable oil, often used in many processed foods, is typically a blend of various oils, including soybean, corn, and canola oil. The high omega-6 content in these oils has raised concerns about their inflammatory effects. [Source: Nutrition Reviews]

3. Corn Oil: A High Omega-6 Offender

Corn oil, like canola oil, is high in omega-6 fatty acids. Studies have suggested that excessive omega-6 intake may contribute to chronic inflammation. [Source: The Journal of Nutrition]

4. Soybean Oil: Pervasive in Processed Foods

Soybean oil is another common cooking oil found in many processed foods. Due to its omega-6 content, it's best consumed in moderation to maintain a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. [Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition]

5. Peanut Oil: High Omega-6 Concerns

Peanut oil, while popular for frying, contains a significant amount of omega-6 fatty acids. Its excessive use can disrupt the omega-3/omega-6 balance, potentially contributing to inflammation. [Source: Lipids]

Our Commitment to Health

At Olivia's Home Bakery, we prioritize your health and well-being. Our decision to avoid oils like canola, vegetable, corn, soybean, and peanut oil is rooted in scientific research that highlights the potential harm associated with these oils. We choose alternative, healthier options like olive oil and coconut oil to ensure that the macarons we create are not only delicious but also mindful of your health.

While the culinary world offers a plethora of cooking oils, not all are equally beneficial for your health. Some, like canola and its omega-6-rich counterparts, have been linked to inflammatory effects. At Olivia's Home Bakery, we believe that making informed choices about the ingredients we use is essential. By opting for healthier alternatives, we ensure that our macarons are a treat you can enjoy without compromising your well-being. We're committed to providing you with a delectable experience that's truly good for you.
