Macadamia oil contains approximately 60% oleic acid, 19% palmitoleic acid, 2.8% Linoleic acid and 1% Linolenic acid.
I think it's similar to Olive oil with its high monosaturated fatty acid content. I personally use palm oil for cooking and olive oil for salad/steamed vege.

Olive, peanut, and sesame oil can withstand some exposure to heat without becoming harmful, but it is best to avoid using these oils for cooking on a regular basis. Olive oil is best eaten raw or added to your food after it is off the stove.
