What it is

Highly refined hazelnut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from hazelnuts. The refining process involves steps like degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing to remove impurities, flavors, and colors, resulting in a neutral-tasting oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use highly refined hazelnut oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in baked goods, confectionery, and sauces. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it versatile for various culinary applications.

Health notes

Highly refined hazelnut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of fat, providing calories and essential fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar refined oils. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming highly refined hazelnut oil at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Hazelnut oil is derived from tree nuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid products containing hazelnut oil.
