Virgin walnut oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, which may help lower blood cholesterol levels and improve heart health. It is also rich in vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Virgin walnut oil is generally used for low-temperature cooking, vinaigrettes, marinades, sauces, and dressings. It can also be used for making pasta, pastries, or baking cakes. It imparts a distinctive and refined nutty taste, so it is best used with foods that pair well with this flavor.

It is best to use your oil within six months after opening and store it in the refrigerator.
