This is a delicious oil. The walnut flavor really stands out. We keep this oil in the refrigerator, to preserve freshness and taste. Definitely shake it well before each use. Everyone comments on how good it tastes whenever we use it. So, it's pretty universal in its appeal.

We make a salad dressing using this walnut oil, blood orange vinegar and honey. The ratio of all ingredients is 1:1. E.g.:
- 1/4 cup blood orange vinegar
- 1/4 cup roasted walnut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
(adjust to your taste buds)
Mix with a blender or hand blender (or by shaking the jar, but a blender mixes much better, especially with the thick honey). Wow, is this a wonderful salad dressing!

By the way, we use this blood orange vinegar: "Cuisine Perel Blood Orange Vinegar", which is available via Amazon. It has a wonderful flavor.

I make an extended butter using this oil, water and liquid lecithin. It is just the BEST tasting spread ever and much healthier because of the walnut oil. I keep mine refrigerated to preserve that wonderful taste and aroma. It tends to settle out so be sure to shake it before using to get the full flavor and consistency. I didn't know to do this on the first container and when I got to the bottom it was very thick, almost sludgy, with the roasted bits. Amazon's price is pretty fair although I can occasionally find it locally (TJ Maxx)a bit cheaper. But I must say ordering from Amazon and getting it shipped straight to me is VERY convenient. I've never had any problems with damaged or leaking containers on this product (well maybe a small dent in the metal but that's all).

I've used La Tourangelle roasted walnut oil during the barbeque season for the past four years or so. It's a great product and I won't fire-up the hibachi without it. Along with various vinegars, I'll splash it on mushrooms, peppers and whatever veggies I have from the garden. (The main dish is usually tofu, but I have a special marinade for that.) One 500 ml can lasts me about one season while the other two keep well in the refrigerator. From what little shopping-around I've done I think the price would be hard to beat.

We have used this product before and love it, so decided to send some as a gift to friends. The cans were received dented. Two of the cans were significantly dented. The 3 cans were taped together, but no other packaging was in the box. One side of the box was torn. The shipping receipt was not included nor was the "gift" message that we had requested. Our friends had no idea where these 3 beat up looking cans of Walnut Oil came from or who sent them until we called and asked if they had received them. Shipping was also suppose to be in 2-3 days. Was not received until day 6. Will find another way to purchase this product, but not through Amazon.

Flavor 5 STARS: First time I used the oil I poured some in a saute pan to scramble some eggs. It ended up being an earthy mushroom like flavor. I loved it. I pour it on my dogs food occasionally and they love it. I wanted to buy this originally because I watched the Dr. OZ tv show and he recommended ingesting a little every day for its anti-inflammatory properties. I gave some oil to my Aunt who has an auto-immune disease and she likes the oil as well. I would definitely buy this product again.

Ding for metal allow container: It is cheap metal and though it was packaged well by Amazon.com the containers probably got dented in Amazon's warehouse because it didn't seem like the packaging should have caused the dents. The way it was packaged if there was any damage it would probably only be dents to the containers so I would say "expect" dents with any shipment of oils if this company uses the same cheaper kind of metal alloy for their containers. Dents do not make the product taste worse so I do not worry about the taste. I will return it if the containers leak but that would not stop me from ordering again. However, the odds of leaking happening probably statistically is not "often" if you receive shipments regularly.

wow. I read the great feedback on this product and took the plunge and was not disappointed. We had bought some other walnut oil at WF and this one blows that out of the water. The flavor, aroma, and price are second to none.

My fav recipe so far:
take a large yam/sweet potatoe, cut in 1/4 inch strips lenthwise (like a long potatoe chip). baste in oil and salt. broil for 10 min per side. enjoy!

I enjoy the flavor and use it for much of my cooking and add it as the oil to my home made granola. It does not cook well on high heats (as advertised), but does well at medium to low heat. It's health benefits far outweigh vegetable oil and canola oils. I use both this and coconut oils whenever possible for flavor.

The toasted flavor is so much better than regular walnut oil; the price is the best I can find and we store it in the fridge for longer life.

This is the good kind of fat, and tastes great.
I actually like the taste better than butter. It has a similar quality- rich, indulgent, blends well with foods, and it is way healthier than butter. Not as aggressive tasting as olive oil.
I have substituted it for butter every chance I get, with good results. (disclaimer- I'm not much of a cook...)

Please buy this, so Amazon will keep it in stock for me. It costs much more in stores, and is hard to find

We ordered this on our Doctor's recommendation and take a tablespoon every day as a supplement. It's supposed to have several omega acids.Also tasty on salads.
