Questions about Almond oil
Can you cook with almond oil?
Refined almond oil has a mild flavour and works for frying and roasting; unrefined, cold-pressed oil is better for dressings or drizzling, as heat can dull its delicate almond taste.
Is almond oil the same as sweet almond oil?
The names often refer to edible oil pressed from sweet almonds, but product names alone do not tell you whether an oil is refined or cold-pressed. Choose one labelled for culinary use; cosmetic almond oil is not for eating.
How should you store almond oil?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and sunlight. Once opened, use it within the period advised on the bottle; a stale, paint-like or bitter smell means it has turned rancid.
What foods go well with almond oil?
Its gentle nutty flavour suits leafy salads, steamed or roasted vegetables, fish and grain dishes. Try whisking unrefined almond oil with lemon juice and a little mustard for a dressing, or drizzle it over soup just before serving.
Can you use almond oil instead of butter in baking?
You can use culinary almond oil in some cakes and muffins, but it will not give the buttery flavour or structure of solid butter. Start with about three-quarters as much oil as the butter quantity, and expect a moister, less rich result.
Does almond oil contain vitamin E?
Yes. A tablespoon (13.6 g) provides 5.3 mg of vitamin E.
Can you eat almond oil if you have an almond allergy?
Do not assume almond oil is safe: unrefined oil can retain almond proteins, and products differ in how they are made. Avoid it unless a qualified allergy specialist has confirmed that the specific oil is suitable for you.
