1. **Cultivated Oil:** Camellia oil is often called "Oriental Olive Oil" due to its health benefits. However, this is actually a misnomer; camellia oil originated in China and has a history of consumption spanning at least 2000 years, making it older than olive oil.
2. **Famous Oil:** Camellia oil gradually gained popularity among the common people starting in the Jin Dynasty. During the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, it was a tribute item for a long period. In modern times, camellia oil contains no genetically modified ingredients, has a high absorption rate by the human body, and is in high demand and short supply.
3. **Complete Oil:** This has two aspects: firstly, it is nutritionally comprehensive and balanced with no obvious drawbacks; secondly, it is suitable for all people, a rarity among edible oils, requiring no special physical conditions.
4. **Premium Oil:** Camellia oil is a hidden gem, priced over 200 yuan per liter, far exceeding other edible oil varieties. Olive oil, for the same volume, costs only about one-third the price of camellia oil.
5. **Treasured Oil:** This refers to the fact that the entire camellia tree is valuable. The extracted oil is edible and medicinal; the residue, made into camellia seed cake, can kill insects, darken hair, and treat external injuries; camellia flowers can cool the blood, stop bleeding, and be used externally for burns; camellia bark can treat athlete's foot and relieve abdominal pain; and camellia roots can promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve itching and pain.
6. **Clear Oil:** Camellia oil is a clear edible oil. The initial extraction produces a light tea-colored oil, while the finest quality is nearly colorless. It is the clearest known edible oil, signifying its superior quality. Other oil varieties require filtration.
