The primary features of high-quality, cold-pressed Walnut Oil include its rich, delicate, and distinctly nutty flavor and aroma, making it an excellent finishing oil for cold dishes like salads, although its low smoke point restricts its use in high-heat cooking. Nutritionally, its most valuable feature is being one of the best plant-based sources of Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), alongside a good content of antioxidants like Vitamin E. It typically presents with a light golden color and is packaged in dark glass bottles to maintain its quality and prevent light-induced oxidation.
