HAZELNUT OIL

 Hazelnut Oil - Corylus avellana, the plant probably originated in Greece.

Hazelnut oil has one of the highest levels of oleic acid (75 – 80 per cent), higher than both olive and almond oil and also contains around 18 per cent linoleic acid. Hazelnut is a highly stable oil that penetrates quickly into the skin and is effective in helping to reduce oily skin conditions.

Used since antiquity in Turkey, where hazelnuts are native, oil pressed from hazelnuts is flavourful and delicious. While not good for frying, since it has a low smoke point, hazelnut oil is delicious in a variety of dishes that call for oil, where you want more taste than canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, or peanut oil, and not so fruity a flavour as olive oil. In that case, if you want a nutty flavour, hazelnut oil may be the perfect choice!
