Walnut oil and hazel nut oil, like olive oil, have an excellent fatty acid balance. They have very little bad fat (8 - 9 % only) and fall into the " non-fatty " product category.
Walnut oil, with its very high proportion of linoleic acid, contributes to a balanced diet and, in particular, helps prevent cardio-vascular diseases. Walnut oil, like hazel nut oil, is particularly rich in VITAMIN E. Vitamin E, an anti-oxidant, helps prevent cell ageing, certain diseases or toxicities, and helps preserve the oil itself.
A fundamental constituent of our hazel nut oil and olive oil is oleic acid (65 %) making them extremely digestible.
Oil extracted from excellent fruit at a cold or very low temperature have an interesting vitamin content (E = (15 mg/100 gr), (C=0.09 mg), (B6, B1, B2, PP). They can be kept for more than 2 years without becoming rancid or oxidising.
