Hazelnut Oil
Uncle Joe’s Cold Pressed Hazelnut Oil is of premium quality, delicious in flavour and a healthy way to enjoy the benefits of this superfood or add a nutty flavour to your recipes.
We use locally grown hazelnuts from Marlborough's wonderful alluvial soils and climate to produce this delicate oil, 100% hazelnuts, no additives and cold pressed (by leaders in their field, Oil Seed Extractions in Ashburton) without the intrusion of air or light, giving our oil a longer shelf life and retaining the exceptional health benefits of hazelnuts.
The delicate flavour reaches the palate after you have sipped, intensifying it in your memory. Our chefs are keeping it a well guarded secret.
Hazelnut oil also contains nutraceutical properties with its palmitoleic acid content which allows hazelnut oil to be absorbed quickly by the skin,offering softening and moisturizing, making it a good ingredient for skin care.
Look out for Uncle Joes Premium Hazelnut Oil which has just won another silver medal at the New Zealand Gourmet Oil Competition 2011 in Christchurch.
