Pistachio oil is a culinary oil pressed from pistachio nuts, valued for its pale green color, delicate nutty flavor and relatively high price compared to more common cooking oils. It is used sparingly, typically as a finishing oil drizzled over salads, desserts, fish or vegetables rather than as a primary cooking medium, since heating can diminish its delicate flavor. Produced mainly in pistachio-growing regions such as Iran, the Mediterranean and California, pistachio oil is considered a specialty or gourmet ingredient rather than an everyday kitchen staple.
