walnut oil - 25cl

Origin and Raw Materials: This exceptional specialty oil is crafted in the heart of the Périgord region. The recipe highlights carefully selected walnut kernels sourced from local growers, renowned for their crisp texture, freshness, and rich natural flavor.

Producer: The last operating oil mill in the Vern Valley, Moulin de la Veyssière has preserved ancestral family craftsmanship since 1857. The mill produces virgin oils of remarkable purity using traditional methods, ensuring an authentic product of superior quality.

Production Process: Walnut kernels are ground beneath a century-old granite millstone before being gently warmed in a cast-iron skillet to release their rich aromas. The paste is then mechanically pressed to extract pure virgin oil without refining, additives, or preservatives.

Tasting Notes: The oil displays a striking amber-gold hue and brilliant clarity. On the nose, it releases vibrant aromas of freshly toasted walnuts and warm bread crust. On the palate, the texture is smooth and velvety, delivering a well-balanced nutty flavor with zero bitterness.

Serving Advice & Aging Potential: Ideal for dressing lamb's lettuce or chicory salad with blue cheese, drizzling over scallop carpaccio, warm goat cheese, or pumpkin soup. Best added as a finishing oil after cooking. Store away from heat and light, and keep refrigerated after opening.

Awards & Environmental Certifications: Crafted in accordance with traditional Périgord artisanal standards, ensuring full traceability from harvest to bottle.
