Nuts

Cold Pressed

Cold-pressed paradise nut oil is mechanically expressed from Lecythis seeds related to Brazil nuts, sometimes called cream nuts or paradise nuts at controlled low temperatures to retain aroma and delicate fatty acids. It tastes more of the nut—rich and creamy, often compared with Brazil nuts but from related canopy trees—than heavily refined oil. Best as a finishing oil for salads, drizzles, and gentle brushes rather than hard deep frying. Composition context: high oil content as a specialty Amazonian product. Buy dark bottles, keep cool, and finish within months of opening. Origin note: northern South American rainforests. Do not assume identical nutrition or selenium to Bertholletia Brazil nuts. Allergen oil: tree nut; selenium stories differ by species and soil—do not assume Brazil-nut doses. Cloudiness can be normal in unrefined oils; varnish smells are not. Price reflects lower thermal abuse and often lower yield. Do not confuse cold-pressed flavour oil with neutral refined frying fat.
