Following 150 years of French tradition, La Tourangelle hand-roasts selected hazelnuts to produce its delicious-tasting and 100% pure filtered hazelnut oil.
The production of gourmet oils is a time-honored tradition in France. Originally, each village had a mill which roasted and extracted the oil from nuts gathered by local farmers. La Tourangelle is one of just a handful of these remaining mills that keep this tradition alive. Hand-crafting a wide range of delicious artisan oils in both California and France, La Tourangelle distributes an exclusive line of premium quality oils in many countries around the world.

Delicious roasted hazelnut oil is a closely guarded secret of many a top chef. It's great in salads, and when combined with vinegars it makes a light and characterful vinaigrette, enhanced with a few drops of lemon juice. In pasta, potato and bean dishes, it is an excellent substitute for butter. Delicious with fish, cheese, carpaccio, but worth experimenting with other dishes too!
