Nut and Seed Oil

Oils sourced from nuts and seeds are some of the most prized in the kitchen, not only for their deep flavor, but also because they’re some of the healthiest available. Some of the most popular examples of nut oils are those derived from almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and peanuts. Each has different properties and uses, as well as different flavor profiles and nutritional content. Walnut oil is prized for its rich nutty flavor, especially French walnut oil (which we carry, of course!). It’s ideal for salad dressings and even for baking into cakes, as well as for meats, poultry and fish. Hazelnut oil is also a very coveted ingredient, and because production is limited, also rare and expensive. This is a delicately flavored oil that’s used for finishing, and not for cooking, as heat destroys its flavor. Almond oil is a pale, sweet oil made from sweet almonds, which is great for pastries and to serve with greens and fish. Coconut and pistachio oils are also very very flavorful and a great option since they have an intense flavor and aroma. Our selection of seed oils includes grapeseed oil, sunflower seeds oil, avocado (from the kernel) oil, pinenut oil and sesame seed oil. These oils are highly nutritious and full of antioxidants, so they’re a great choice to add to dishes. They also offer delicate and delicious flavors that marry to many ingredients and make great partners to many dishes. We offer our seed oils in both bulk and retail sizes, ideal for any type and size of establishment.
