Golden amber colored, this exquisite and nourishing oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. With a delicate, but pronounced flavor, this bottle of hazelnut oil is flawless in color and consistency. It is a blend of virgin oil -- the first expulsion -- and more refined oil, a meld carefully crafted for balance and stability. Boasting a nutty, sweet taste, with a mild, pleasant fragrance, this is the among the highest quality nut oils you’ll find. It's produced in the heart of Bourbonnais, in central France. The folks at LaPalisse have been creating exquisite oils since 1898, and are serious about evoking authentic and flavorful oil from each hazelnut and bottling the true essence. Hazelnut oil is also known for its moisturizing characteristics, so you can even use it to soften skin or enjoy a relaxing massage.

This oil is perfect for drizzling on sweet and citrus fruits, drizzle it on brie and pears, or endives and avocado, but remember that a little goes a long way -- this oil has a memorable flavor. Too much heat can rob hazelnut oil of its delectably delicate toast-like and buttery flavors, so when cooking with it, add at the last possible moment. Whip up gourmet mayonnaises for sandwiches and vinaigrettes for salads.
