A mild, versatile oil from sweet almonds
Bulk almond oil is pressed from sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis). Cold-pressed almond oil is pale gold with a mild, slightly sweet almond taste. Refined almond oil is lighter still and handles sautéing and baking. Mostly monounsaturated oleic acid, almond oil is more stable than most nut oils, which makes it one of the most practical nut oils to use in a kitchen or on a production line.
Our almond oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported sweet almonds, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.

Sweet almond oil, not bitter almond
All our almond oil is pressed from sweet almonds. It is different from bitter almond oil, a flavoring made from bitter almonds or apricot kernels that must be processed to remove naturally occurring cyanide compounds. Sweet almond oil has a mild taste and none of the strong marzipan aroma of bitter almond.
Why buyers choose almond oil
- High in oleic acid. Typically 62–76% oleic acid with very little omega-3, so it keeps better than walnut or other polyunsaturated nut oils.
- Mild flavor. It enhances baked goods and dressings without overpowering them.
- Known purity specifications. Almond oil has a pharmacopeial monograph that defines its fatty acid and sterol profile, which helps confirm authenticity.
- Versatile buyers. Besides food, sweet almond oil is a long-standing ingredient in cosmetics and personal care.
How bulk almond oil is priced
Almond oil prices follow the almond crop and kernel prices. Cold-pressed and roasted 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.

Sourcing
From almond orchards to finished oil
Our almond oil is pressed, tested and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported sweet almonds. Almonds are shaken from the trees in late summer, dried in the orchard, then hulled and shelled.
Kernels are sorted before pressing; for roasted oil they are roasted first. Cold-pressed and roasted oils are filtered only, and refined oil is refined for a light, neutral taste. Every batch is tested and packed at our US facilities.

FAQ
Almond 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.
Is your almond oil sweet or bitter almond oil?
Sweet almond oil only. Bitter almond oil is a separate flavoring product and is not what we supply.
Can almond oil be used for cooking?
Yes. Refined almond oil handles sautéing and baking, with a smoke point of about 216 °C. Cold-pressed almond oil suits dressings, baking and lower-heat cooking.
Do you supply almond oil for cosmetics?
Our almond oil is produced as a food oil. Many personal care makers buy it, but cosmetic-grade documentation should be agreed in your quote.
Is almond oil a tree nut allergen?
Cold-pressed and roasted almond 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.
