Benefits and Uses of Extra Virgin Raw Hazelnut Oil 🌰✨

1. Cold-Pressed for Pure Nutrient Preservation
Our Extra Virgin Raw Hazelnut Oil is cold-pressed directly from Organic, Whole, Raw hazelnuts, harvested in the last season. This method helps to retain its full nutritional profile and antioxidant properties, making it a rich addition to a balanced diet.

2. Nutritional and Culinary Advantages
With its slightly yellow hue, aromatic fragrance, and light, sweet taste, hazelnut oil is a delightful choice for culinary use, enhancing dishes while providing powerful antioxidants and essential minerals. Its remineralizing properties help restore vital minerals to the body, supporting overall wellness.

3. Beneficial for Natural Skincare
This oil is also prized in natural cosmetics. It is particularly effective for oily skin, with purifying properties that help cleanse and balance. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for use as a moisturizer or in homemade skincare formulations.

Note: Hazelnut oil may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to nuts; always use with caution if prone to allergies.

Pure Hazelnut Oil: A Nutrient-Rich, Versatile Oil 🌰💧

1. Nutrient Composition & Culinary Uses
With a composition similar to that of virgin olive oil, pure hazelnut oil is versatile for both raw applications and cooking. Its high content of monounsaturated fats makes it stable enough for light cooking and even frying, while still delivering a rich, nutty flavor to enhance dishes.

2. Omega Fatty Acids and Phytosterols
While hazelnut oil does not contain omega-3 fatty acids, it is an excellent source of omega-6 and omega-9 fats, which support heart health and promote healthy skin. It is naturally cholesterol-free and rich in phytosterols—plant compounds that contribute to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

3. Traditional Skincare Applications
Historically, hazelnut oil was valued in natural beauty practices. Peasant beauty recipes used hazelnut oil packs to rejuvenate the skin and retain moisture. Its nourishing properties make it a timeless choice for skincare, particularly for those with dry or sensitive skin.

Tip: Try it as a light moisturizer or massage oil for a smooth, radiant complexion!

Culinary Use of Raw Hazelnut Oil 🌰🍽️

1. Heart-Healthy Good Fats
Like raw hazelnuts, Raw Hazelnut Oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which help lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Its composition makes it both flavorful and beneficial for heart health.

2. Digestible and Nutrient-Dense
Known for its high digestibility, hazelnut oil is gentler on the stomach than other oils. It also provides a substantial dose of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage and supports skin health.

3. Rich in Flavonoids and Phytosterols
Raw Hazelnut Oil boasts a good concentration of flavonoids, known for their anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, which also help counteract the development of tumors. The phytosterols present are essential for heart health, making hazelnut oil a nutrient-packed option for those looking to boost their diet naturally.

Serving Tip: Drizzle it over salads, pasta, or roasted vegetables to add a delicate nutty flavor while reaping its health benefits!

Cosmetic Use of Raw Hazelnut Oil 🌿✨

  5. Protective Barrier for Urban Skin
    For those in cities with high pollution levels, hazelnut oil forms a light, breathable barrier on the skin, protecting it from smog and toxins. Its astringent qualities make it suitable for individuals who use motorbikes or scooters frequently.
