Corylus Farms Hazelnut Oil is cold pressed from locally grown hazelnuts. Following the traditional method used in France and Italy, the kernels are gently roasted to develop a rich flavor profile and then pressed to produce the beautiful golden oil. The oil is bottled after allowing time for a small amount of solids to settle. No further processing is required.
Try it drizzled on boiled or roasted potatoes, brushed on roasted vegetables, or dripped into pasta or rice. Dress salads with hazelnut oil vinaigrette and bring even more flavor to roasted and grilled meats with a finishing dash of oil. And aioli made with it is indescribably delicious. For bread, try our recipe for Ultimate Dipping Oil below. Check out our recipe page for even more delicious suggestions.
Corylus Farms Hazelnut Oil is rich in oleic and linoleic acid, the monounsaturated fatty acids closely associated with helping lower cholesterol and heart disease. It is also a rich source of alpha-tocopherol, vitamin E, a natural antioxidant.
Ultimate Dipping Oil for Bread: Pour ¼ cup of Corylus Farms Hazelnut Oil in a small saucepan. Add one or two cloves of crushed garlic and ½ teaspoon coarse salt. Warm over a low flame until the oil starts to foam. Pour into a shallow bowl, and dip slices of your favorite crusty loaf.
