Hazelnut Oil

Hazelnut oil is a delightful and flavorful oil that is extracted from hazelnuts, also known as filberts, through cold pressing or solvent extraction methods. It is an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants, which contribute to overall health, skin rejuvenation, and cholesterol level management. The oil's mild, slightly sweet and nutty taste enhances the flavors of various dishes and provides a delightful alternative to conventional cooking oils. Highly valued in culinary preparations, hazelnut oil is ideal for dressings, dips, marinades, and drizzles on both sweet and savory dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with flavors such as fruits, chocolate, greens, and cheeses. It is best to use hazelnut oil in its raw form to retain optimal flavor and nutritional benefits, as high heat might cause it to degrade or become bitter. The oil can also be used as a skin care product due to its hydrating and nourishing properties.

Hazelnut Oil FAQ
When cooking with hazelnut oil, the most common questions often pertain to its use in cooking and skincare, its taste, and its heat tolerance. Missteps usually occur when it is used for high-heat cooking methods, such as frying or sautéing. This is because hazelnut oil, like other nut oils, has a relatively low smoke point and degrades under high heat, which can negatively impact its flavor and nutrient content. To get the most out of hazelnut oil, it should generally be used raw, such as in dressings, sauces, and drizzles. However, it can also be carefully used for low-heat cooking. It pairs excellently with different flavors, from sweet fruits and chocolates to savory greens and cheeses, which provides a versatile range of uses. Using it in your skincare routine can also provide numerous benefits, such as hydration and nourishing the skin. In terms of little known tips, hazelnut oil can provide a flavorful alternative for people with sesame allergies who miss out on the flavor of sesame oil in their dishes.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does hazelnut oil expire?
Hazelnut oil usually has a relatively short shelf life compared to other cooking oils. Unopened, it can generally last around 9 to 12 months from the production date if stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, however, hazelnut oil should ideally be consumed within 3 months for best flavor and nutritional benefits. Kept in the fridge, it can last a bit longer, extending its freshness for up to 6 months. Freezing is not typically recommended for oils, including hazelnut oil, as it can alter the taste and consistency significantly.
How do you tell if hazelnut oil is bad?
If hazelnut oil has gone rancid, it will develop a sharp, bitter or sour smell that differs from its typical mildly sweet and nutty aroma. The oil might also have a cloudy appearance or show signs of separation. The taste will be noticeably off as well, it might taste bitter or sour. Always remember, when in doubt, throw it out!
Tips for storing hazelnut oil to extend shelf life
• Always store hazelnut oil in a cool, dark place like a pantry. • Once opened, store the oil in the fridge to prolong its freshness. However, always let it return to room temperature before using as cold can alter the texture and taste. • Keep the oil in a tightly sealed glass or plastic container to avoid exposure to air, which can speed up the oxidation process. • Avoid exposing the oil to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause the oil to degrade or become rancid faster. • Always use clean utensils when handling the oil to prevent contamination. • Don't store the oil for too long, even in the fridge – it's better to buy small amounts more frequently.
