How to Use Cold-Pressed Walnut Oil

Walnut oil concentrates the character of the kernel into a few aromatic drops.

Finish, do not fry

Drizzle over soup, roasted vegetables, bread or salad near the end of preparation.

High heat wastes its delicate character, while a small amount added late remains expressive.

A naturally delicate oil

Walnut oil contains polyunsaturated fats including plant-based omega-3 ALA.

Those same delicate fats require careful storage.

Keep it fresh

Close the bottle promptly and refrigerate after opening for culinary use.

Buy a practical quantity that can be used while its aroma is fresh.
