Roasted Walnut Oil
Rich, nutty and beautifully aromatic, our Roasted Walnut Oil is a small-batch specialty oil with deep toasted walnut flavor that brings warmth and complexity to salads, roasted vegetables, pasta, grilled meats, baked goods and more.
Handcrafted in California using traditional 150-year-old French methods, premium walnuts are carefully slow-roasted to develop their rich, nutty character before being expeller-pressed and lightly filtered. The result is a velvety, full-bodied walnut oil with a beautiful golden color and unmistakable roasted flavor.
Roasted Walnut Oil is particularly good anywhere its distinctive nuttiness can shine. Use it to make an incredible vinaigrette, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, finish pasta or grain dishes, add richness to baked goods, or pair it with crusty bread for dipping.
If you're searching for the best walnut oil for salads, vinaigrettes, baking, roasted vegetables, pasta or finishing dishes, Roasted Walnut Oil is an incredibly versatile specialty oil to keep in your kitchen.

What does Roasted Walnut Oil taste like?

How is your Roasted Walnut Oil made?

Can I use Roasted Walnut Oil for salad dressing?
Absolutely. Walnut oil is particularly well suited to vinaigrettes because its toasted, nutty flavor complements leafy greens, fruit, cheese and roasted vegetables. Try it with Red Apple, Cinnamon Pear or Cranberry Pear Balsamic Vinegar for an easy homemade dressing.

Yes. Roasted Walnut Oil can add a subtle toasted walnut character to baked goods. It's particularly delicious in carrot cake and recipes featuring apples, pears, warm spices, chocolate or nuts. Your existing RMOO recipe collection even includes a Carrot Cake with Roasted Walnut Oil.
What balsamic vinegar pairs best with Roasted Walnut Oil?
Red Apple and Cinnamon Pear are two of our favorite balsamic pairings because their fruit and spice notes complement the oil's roasted walnut character. Traditional 18-Year Dark Balsamic is an excellent savory option, while Cranberry Pear White Balsamic makes a beautiful pairing for salads and seasonal dishes.
