Can I use this walnut oil for cooking, and if so, what's the best way? — Walnut Food Oil, Unrefined, 250 ml-Naturalnie Masla

You can use this oil in meal preparation, but the method matters to get the best from it. Because it is an unrefined, cold-pressed oil, its delicate aromatic compounds and characteristic taste are preserved by avoiding strong heat. For this reason, it is less suitable for high-heat frying, searing, or deep-frying, as such temperatures can degrade the flavor and potentially create bitterness.

The best culinary uses are applications where heat is minimal or applied after cooking. You can gently warm it in a pan for a light sauté at low temperatures. More traditionally, it excels as a finishing oil: drizzle it over already-cooked roasted vegetables, pasta, or soups; whisk it into vinaigrettes and cold dips; or add a spoonful to porridge or soft cheeses. This approach allows the deep, slightly sweet nutty taste to shine without being compromised. For high-heat cooking, a more neutral, refined oil would be a better choice.
