Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil
R650 / 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.
Presented in an illustrated tin, this is a celebration of the surprising richness hidden inside a familiar fruit.
