A pastry chef’s nut oil
Bulk hazelnut oil is pressed from hazelnut (filbert) kernels. Roasted hazelnut oil has an intense toasted aroma that is a classic of French cooking, pastry and chocolate making, used in pralines, ganache, dressings and desserts. Cold-pressed hazelnut oil is lighter and fresher, and refined hazelnut oil is mild enough for everyday cooking and baking.
Our hazelnut oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported hazelnuts, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.

Why hazelnut oil works so well
- Very high in oleic acid. Hazelnut oil is typically around 75–85% oleic acid, more than olive oil, with little polyunsaturated fat.
- Stable for a nut oil. That fat profile makes it far more stable than walnut oil.
- Flavor that carries. A small amount of roasted hazelnut oil flavors a whole batch of dressing, ganache or pastry cream.
- Chocolate and confectionery. It pairs naturally with chocolate in pralines, spreads and fillings.
How bulk hazelnut oil is priced
Hazelnut oil prices follow the hazelnut harvest, which is concentrated in a few growing regions and can swing from year to year. Roasted and cold-pressed grades cost more than refined. Each grade is quoted separately on pack size, total volume and destination; the minimum is 1,000 liters per quote.

Fatty acid profile
| Fatty acid | % of total fatty acids |
|---|---|
| Palmitic acid (C16:0) | 4.5–5.4 |
| Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) | 0.1–0.2 |
| Stearic acid (C18:0) | 1.7–2.5 |
| Oleic acid (C18:1) | 79.6–87.2 |
| Linoleic acid (C18:2) | 4.6–12.4 |
| Alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3) | 0.1–0.3 |
Ranges measured in three major hazelnut varieties (Tombul, Palaz and Sivri) as the nuts ripened, in a peer-reviewed study. Trade specifications allow wider ranges, for example 66–83% oleic acid and 8–25% linoleic acid, depending on variety and growing region, so each lot is analyzed.

Sourcing
From hazelnut orchards to finished oil
Hazelnuts grow in mild, temperate climates, including the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Our hazelnut oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported hazelnuts.
The nuts are harvested from the orchard floor in early autumn, cleaned, dried and cracked. For roasted oil, kernels are roasted first to develop their aroma. Every batch is tested and packed at our US facilities.
Processing
How we make hazelnut oil
Cleaning and drying
Harvested hazelnuts are cleaned and dried.
Cracking and sorting
Shells are cracked and kernels sorted; damaged kernels are removed.
Roasting (roasted grade)
Kernels are roasted to develop their toasted aroma.
Pressing
Kernels are mechanically pressed to release the oil.
Filtering or refining
Cold-pressed and roasted oils are filtered; refined oil is refined for a light, mild taste.
Testing and packing
Each batch is tested against specification, then filled into bottles, jerrycans, drums, IBC totes or flexitanks.
Storage & handling
Keeping hazelnut oil fresh
Temperature
Store between 10 and 25 °C (50–77 °F), away from heat sources.
Light and air
Keep containers sealed and out of direct sunlight to prevent rancidity.

FAQ
Hazelnut Oil questions
What is the minimum order?
1,000 liters (about 264 US gallons) per quote, across any combination of oils, grades and pack sizes. For example, one 1,000L IBC tote, five 200L drums, or 50 cases of 4 × 5L bottles.
What is roasted hazelnut oil used for?
It is pressed from roasted kernels for an intense toasted aroma and used in pastry, chocolate, pralines, desserts and dressings, usually without heating.
Can hazelnut oil be used for cooking?
Refined hazelnut oil handles sautéing and baking, with a smoke point of about 221 °C. Cold-pressed oil suits lower heat, and roasted oil is best for finishing.
Is hazelnut oil the same as filbert oil?
Yes. Filbert is another name for the hazelnut.
Is hazelnut oil a tree nut allergen?
Cold-pressed and roasted hazelnut oils keep nut protein and must be labeled as a tree nut allergen. In the US, highly refined oils are excluded from the major food allergen definition because refining removes the protein, but rules differ by country, so always confirm the labeling requirements where your product is sold.
How is the price set?
Each grade is priced separately, based on the crop, grade, pack size, total volume and delivery destination. Your quotation shows the price, any freight and other charges, the shipping terms and route, and an estimated arrival date.
