5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, but poor (bad) shipping, November 5, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

As a German, I cannot live without this oil. Try cooked carrots with a pinch of sugar and this oil. Do not fry or cook with it, just add it plenty AFTER cooking. The aroma is a dream, and it tastes grandious!!

Unfortunately amazon is not making any effort in protecting the metal cans. I ordered 3 cans in a set and one book at the same time. Now imagine, they just packed the book in a box and put the oil cans on top. That's all! No packing material, no stuffing, nothing! A box with 3 oil cans in it plus a book.

Imagine how that book looked like. It had been roughed up by the metal cans rubbing on it during the 10 days of shipping! And all 3 cans had bendings in the outside. I was glad I still had 2 old cans left from last time, so I could refill the oil into the old cans.

If I had a chance to buy this oil somewhere else, I absolutely would, but unfortunately I have not found any other place yet. So I have to deal with amazon's careless packers.

But the oil really is fantastic!
If you see it somewhere in a store, buy it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars delicious, July 3, 2006

By 

yogagirl "grrrl" (usa) - See all my reviews

This oil is delicious and must be stored in the refrigerator after opening. It does not go solid, and the expiration is about 1 year beyond the purchase date. It can be used up to medium-high heat. I've made some excellent marinades, baked goods, and vinegrettes with this oil. You generally do not want to substitute all the oil in a recipe with this, as it will impart too much hazelnut flavor.

Addendum: Wow the price on these really went up. Double what I paid in 06.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best! Amazing flavor. Great Company!, October 19, 2006

I love this oil! All the oils by this company are the best I have ever used and I keep them all on hand.
The Hazelnut oil flavors a whole salad or dish with just a little bit, cutting back on calories, without losing flavor. It is fresh/ clean tasting, full bodied, rich and aromatic. I keep all of my oils in the fridge and they seem to last forever.
I can't wait to try the roasted sesame.
