Roasted hazelnut oil is a well-kept secret of many top chefs. Using a centuries-old tradition, the hazelnuts are ground and roasted in cast-iron kettles and made into a warm paste, then pressed, lightly filtered and bottled. Great in salads, hazelnut oil combines very well with lemon juice or vinegar to produce a light but flavorful vinaigrette. With pasta, potatoes and beans, hazelnut oil serves as a wonderful substitute for butter, or use it with fish, cheese or carpaccio.
While hazelnut oil is a delicious product for your culinary needs, it also contains a high oleic-acid content. Perfect for sautéing, baking, dipping, blending into sauces, or drizzling on a finished dish.
