A green, gourmet finishing oil
Bulk pistachio oil is pressed from pistachio kernels. Cold-pressed pistachio oil has a natural green color from the kernel’s chlorophyll and a fresh, sweet pistachio flavor. Chefs drizzle it over burrata, fish, salads and pasta, pastry kitchens use it in cakes, ice cream and macarons, and gourmet brands bottle it as a premium finishing oil. Roasted pistachio oil has a deeper, toasted flavor.
Our pistachio oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported pistachios, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.
Pistachio oil grades
| Cold-pressed (virgin) | Roasted | |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Green to green-gold | Golden to amber |
| Flavor | Fresh, sweet pistachio | Deep, toasted pistachio |
| Heat | Finishing, no heat | Finishing, no heat |
| Best for | Finishing, dressings, pastry, ice cream | Sauces, desserts, gourmet retail |
Pistachio oil is not refined: its value is its color and flavor, which refining would remove. Both grades contain pistachio protein and must be labeled as a tree nut allergen.
Keeping the color and flavor
Pistachio oil is around 53–71% oleic acid and 15–33% linoleic acid, so it is reasonably stable, but its chlorophyll makes it sensitive to light, which fades the green color and speeds up oxidation. We fill it into full, sealed, light-protected containers, and we recommend dark glass or opaque bottles for retail. Store it cool and dark, and use it raw or at the end of cooking.
How bulk pistachio oil is priced
Pistachio oil is one of the most expensive nut oils, because pistachios are a high-value nut and only a small share of the crop is pressed. Prices follow the pistachio harvest. Each grade is quoted separately on pack size, total volume and destination; the minimum is 1,000 liters per quote.

Sourcing
From pistachio orchards to finished oil
Pistachios grow in hot, dry climates, and the United States is one of the world’s largest producers. Our pistachio oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported pistachios.
The nuts are shaken from the trees in late summer, hulled and dried quickly to protect their quality, then shelled. Kernels are pressed raw for cold-pressed oil or roasted first for roasted oil, then filtered. Every batch is tested and packed at our US facilities.
Processing
How we make pistachio oil
Hulling and drying
Freshly harvested pistachios are hulled and dried quickly.
Shelling and sorting
Shells are removed and kernels sorted; damaged kernels are removed.
Roasting (roasted grade)
Kernels are roasted for a deeper flavor.
Pressing
Kernels are mechanically pressed at low temperature to release the oil.
Filtering
The oil is filtered, but not refined, to keep its color and flavor.
Testing and packing
Each batch is tested, then filled into full, sealed, light-protected containers.
Storage & handling
Keeping pistachio oil fresh
Temperature
Store between 10 and 20 °C (50–68 °F), away from heat sources.
Light
Keep in the dark; light fades the green color and speeds up oxidation.
After opening
Keep the container closed and use within a few months.
Shelf life
Up to 12 months unopened in sealed, light-protected packaging.

FAQ
Pistachio 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.
Why is pistachio oil green?
Pistachio kernels contain chlorophyll, and cold pressing carries it into the oil. Roasting reduces it, so roasted pistachio oil is more golden.
Can pistachio oil be used for cooking?
It is best used raw or at the end of cooking. Heat dulls its color and flavor, and it is not a frying oil.
Is pistachio oil a tree nut allergen?
Yes. Our pistachio oil is cold-pressed or roasted and not refined, so it contains pistachio protein and must be labeled as a tree nut allergen.
How should pistachio oil be packed for retail?
In dark glass or opaque bottles, filled full and sealed, because light fades the color and speeds up oxidation.
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.
