Roasted Almond Oil

20cl

Moulin de la Veyssière

Moulin de la Veyssière almond oil is a culinary gem meticulously crafted in the picturesque Périgord region of France, reflecting an artisan tradition that has persisted since 1857. This oil is the outcome of a harmonious blend between reverence for ancestral methods and the integration of a few contemporary improvements.

The almond oil, derived from a medley of French almonds such as Ferragnes, Ferraduel, Lauranne, Mandaline, and Ferastar varieties, stands out with its exceptionally rich flavor reminiscent of buttery, slightly roasted notes of almonds.

The process begins with delicately grinding the almonds under a flint or granite millstone, adapting to their distinct hardness to create a smooth paste. Subsequently, this paste undergoes slow roasting in a cast-iron pan, imparting its characteristic taste akin to roasted almonds. Finally, during the extraction stage, hydraulic pressure is applied to extract the oil from the paste.

Unlike cold extraction methods, this hot method ensures optimal conservation of the oil, allowing it to be enjoyed for up to 18 months. However, it is advisable to store it away from light and heat.

This oil is a veritable source of nutrients, naturally rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, Omega 6, and Omega 9, making it a nutritious and healthful culinary ingredient for your daily cooking.

Almond oil finds versatile applications in the kitchen, primarily as a salad dressing for salads, asparagus, carrots, and other raw vegetables. It pairs exceptionally well with white fish, crabs, trout, scallops, carpaccios, and beef or fish tartars.
