Raw Walnut Oil
Raw Walnut Oil
Cold-Pressed Walnut Oil
Pure walnut oil (Juglans regia), cold-pressed in our own facility in Amman from carefully selected kernels. No heat, no solvents, no refining — the oil goes from the press to the bottle much as it left the nut.
What makes it unusual
Walnut oil is among the richest culinary oils in alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that is scarce in plant sources. Alongside it sits omega-6, plus vitamin E and polyphenols carried over from the kernel.
The colour runs from gold to light amber, and the flavour is deep and distinctly nutty — closer to toasted walnuts than to any other oil. This isn't a neutral oil that disappears into a dish. You will taste it.
A finishing oil, not a cooking oil
This is the most important thing to know about it. Omega-3 is heat-sensitive, and high temperatures destroy both the flavour and the nutritional value. Don't fry with it, don't sear with it, and don't use it for high-temperature baking.
Use it cold, or over warm food:
- Drizzled over leafy salads — particularly rocket, beetroot, and blue cheese
- Over roasted vegetables as they come out of the oven
- Stirred through pasta or risotto just before serving
- On labneh or hummus instead of olive oil, for a different character
- Whisked into a dressing with apple cider vinegar or lemon
- Over pumpkin or chestnut soup
- With cheese and dried fruit
Pairs well with our defatted almond flour — both come from the same cold-pressing process, and both suit low-carb and gluten-free cooking.
On skin and hair
A rich, slower-absorbing oil traditionally used on dry skin and hands, and as a conditioning oil massaged into hair ends before washing.
Storage — this one matters
The omega-3 content that makes walnut oil valuable is also what makes it delicate. It reacts to air, light and heat faster than most oils.
Refrigerate after opening and use within a few months. If it tastes bitter or sharp, it has gone rancid and should be discarded. This isn't a minor footnote — a bottle kept in a warm cupboard loses its quality quickly.
How it's made
Cold-pressed on German machinery without heat or chemical solvents, then filtered and bottled. Unrefined, non-GMO, hexane-free, and vegan-friendly.
Produced in an ISO 22000 certified facility and tested by independent third parties. Halal certified. Available in retail bottles, bulk, and private label.
Please note
- Contains walnuts. Avoid if you have a walnut or tree nut allergy — this applies to topical use as well as culinary.
- As with any unrefined natural oil, colour and flavour may vary slightly between batches with the season and harvest.

History & Origins of Walnut
Walnut oil carries with it a deep-rooted legacy that spans continents and civilizations. The walnut tree, believed to have first grown in ancient Persia, was once known as the “royal nut,” reserved for kings and traded along ancient routes to Greece, Rome, and China. The oil extracted from these nuts wasn’t just used in cooking.... it lit lamps, softened fabrics, and was even used to finish wood in old artisan workshops.
In the Mediterranean and parts of Central Asia, families traditionally pressed walnut oil by hand, drop by drop, often only during harvest seasons. In some mountain villages, it was so prized that it was offered as a gift during weddings and kept for special meals and celebrations.
Today, cold-pressed walnut oil continues to be appreciated for its golden hue and warm, nutty aroma. Though production methods have become more refined, many small producers still use time-honored techniques that respect the craft passed down through generations. Whether in kitchens, artisanal soap-making, or beauty rituals, walnut oil has remained a natural treasure... valued for its rich story as much as its rich texture.
