Hazelnuts are high in unsaturated oleic acid and vitamin E. Refined hazelnut oil is used in a variety of applications including in food preparation and cooking, as well as in personal care and beauty products. Hazelnut oil has a stronger scent and darker color than the more neutral almond oil. It is easily, though slowly, absorbed into the skin.
Caloy’s hazelnut oil is mechanically expressed and lightly refined to ensure clarity and purity. We source from family-owned farms and work closely with the growers to ensure a steady supply of the best nuts.
