Hazelnut Oil

Fats and Oils

Hazelnut oil is pressed from hazelnuts and is strongly flavored and high in monounsaturated fat, with oleic acid making up about 75 percent of its fat content. It is used both as a cooking oil on the stovetop and as a finishing oil drizzled over salads and vegetables, prized for the pronounced nutty flavor it lends to dishes calling for that taste.
