The difference between camellia seed oil and camellia oil lies in raw materials and origin, processing and refining methods, and cultural and historical background.

1. Difference between raw materials and producing areas: Camellia oleifera seed oil is mainly produced in southern China, especially in Hunan and Jiangxi, and its raw material is the seeds of Camellia oleifera (also known as oilseed tree). Camellia oil is widely distributed in southern provinces of China, and its raw materials are mainly the seeds of camellia plants, such as camellia oleifera and tea trees.

2. Processing and refining method: The processing of tea seed oil is relatively complicated, and it needs many processes such as drying, hulling, crushing, squeezing and refining to ensure the quality and purity of the oil. The extraction process of camellia oil is relatively simple, and the oil is usually extracted by cold pressing or hot pressing.

3. Cultural and historical background: Camellia oleifera seed oil has a long history and profound cultural background in southern China, and is regarded as an important part of local characteristics and traditional cuisine. Although camellia oil also has a long history, its cultural influence is relatively small, and it exists more as a raw material for edible oil and beauty products.
