Cold-pressed walnut oil is made by pressing raw walnuts to extract the oil, without the use of heat or chemicals. Its benefits include heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that can improve cognitive function and reduce inflammation.

2. Is this walnut oil made from locally sourced walnuts in Hunza?

Yes, our cold-pressed walnut oil is made from locally sourced walnuts in Hunza. We take great care to source the highest quality nuts to ensure the best possible flavor and nutritional content.

3. How can I use cold-pressed walnut oil in cooking and baking?

Cold-pressed walnut oil has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that makes it a great addition to salad dressings, marinades, and baked goods like muffins and cakes. It can also be used as a
finishing oil for dishes like pasta, grilled vegetables, and roasted meats.

4. Is this suitable for people with nut allergies?

While walnut oil is made from walnuts, which are a tree nut, the oil is usually safe for people with nut allergies to consume. This is because the allergenic proteins in the nut are not present in the oil. However, it’s always best to consult with a doctor if you have a nut allergy before trying any new product.

5. How should I store cold-pressed walnut oil to maintain its quality and freshness?

Cold-pressed walnut oil should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality and freshness. We recommend keeping it in the refrigerator, where it can last up to six months, or in a dark pantry for up to three months. Avoid storing it near sources of heat, light, or moisture, as these can cause the oil to spoil more quickly.
