[[Almond]] [[oil]], along with [[walnut]] and [[pecan]] [[oil]], is a popular [[nut]] [[oil]] favoured by gourmets for its smooth, buttery flavour. One of the lightest [[nut]] [[oils]] on the market, the [[oil]] has a clean flavour that pairs well with [[fish]], white asparagus, [[cream]] [[soups]], or light vinaigrettes.

To preserve its delicate flavour, [[almond]] [[oil]] should be treated as more of a finishing [[oil]], added just before the meal is served. While you can cook with refined [[oil]], it is not recommended to heat cold pressed [[oil]] to high temperatures, as this will mar the subtle nuances of a quality, cold-pressed [[oil]]. It can also be used for baking to add fruity, nutty flavours to [[carrot]] cake, biscuits, spiced muffins, or [[cinnamon]] buns. Just replace a 60ml or 120ml of [[butter]] with almond oil.

Sometimes you may see a light coloured [[oil]] labeled as “''Refined Almond Oil''.” Refined [[oils]] are highly processed through a mechanized system, which is extremely efficient at separating out the [[oils]]. This efficiency makes refined [[oils]] very cheap for consumers, and the processing allows them to be heated to much higher temperatures without burning or producing off flavours. Unfortunately, this processing also removes much of the flavour and natural colour of the [[oil]], giving them a flavour similar to [[rapeseed oil]]. Cold pressed [[almond]] [[oil]], or any cold-pressed [[oil]] for that matter, is much more of an artisan product. Since the [[oil]] is not heated during the pressing, it retains all of its natural flavour and nutritional benefits.

Along with a high level of [[vitamin E|E]], [[vitamin B|B]], [[almond]] [[oil]] also contains both monounsaturated and linoleic fatty acids. Combined, these healthy fatty acids work to lower bad [[cholesterol]] and ensure a healthy heart.
