What the AI looks for in Hazelnut Oils
- Use as a finisher
- Use raw or over gentle heat, often cut with a neutral oil in vinaigrettes. Heat destroys the roasted aroma you are paying for.
- Small size and cold storage
- Buy small and refrigerate after opening. Nut oils go rancid within months at room temperature.
Brands that matter
- La Tourangelle: Roasted nut oils in tins.
- Huilerie J. Leblanc: Traditional French roasted nut oils.
What to avoid
- Large bottles you cannot finish while the oil is fresh
