5L Extra Virgin Apricot Kernel Oil

5L Extra Virgin Apricot Kernel Oil

R1,090

R218 / L

Delicate almond notes. Fragrant fruit character. A hidden culinary treasure.

Inside the hard stone of an apricot lies a kernel with an unexpected culinary gift: a beautifully fragrant oil. The kernel can contain substantial natural oil, offering a delicate counterpart to the sweetness of the fruit.

Our food-grade Apricot Kernel Oil is pressed from apricot kernels and has a smooth texture, subtle almond-like flavour and gently fruity fragrance. It recalls the character of almond and peach kernel oils without overwhelming a dish.

Its delicate flavour makes it especially appealing in baking, dressings, roasted vegetables and light cooking.
