Nuts

Cold Pressed

Cold-pressed pine-nut oil is mechanically expressed at low temperature so creamy-resinous aroma survives. It tastes distinctly of pine seed—soft, rich, slightly turpenic-sweet— and is best as a finishing oil. Russian and Siberian “cedar nut” cold-pressed oils are related luxury products within this family. Heat abuse destroys the perfume that justified the bottle price. Buy tiny dark bottles, refrigerate after opening, and use within weeks to months. Drizzle on salads, potatoes, or bread; do not deep-fry. Cloudiness can be normal; varnish smell is never normal. Discard rancid oil immediately. This is among the most fragile culinary oils— treat it like a perishable condiment.
