✦ High monounsaturated oleic acid (~78%) ✦ Rich nutty flavour ✦ Vitamin E ✦ Finishing oil: use in small amounts

Hazelnut oil is a richly flavoured culinary oil pressed from roasted hazelnuts, with a distinctive sweet, nutty aroma. It is high in monounsaturated oleic acid (~78%), similar to olive oil, and provides vitamin E. Its intense flavour means it is used in small quantities as a finishing oil, in salad dressings, and in baking rather than for high-heat cooking.

Preparation note

Use as a finishing drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or desserts where its flavour is an asset; it burns and loses its aroma at high temperatures. Store in the fridge after opening — its polyunsaturated fraction oxidises quickly.
