Walnut Oil

Walnut oil is pressed from walnut kernels and ranks among premium culinary oils. It has a characteristic golden-brown colour and a bold, slightly bitter nutty flavour with a rich aroma. Thanks to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6, it is considered beneficial for health. In the kitchen it is best used cold: in salad dressings, drizzled over bruschetta or as a finishing oil over completed dishes. It is not recommended for high-heat cooking as it oxidises easily. It pairs excellently with rocket, cheeses, beetroot and chocolate desserts.
