Almond Oil

Almond oil is a pale golden oil pressed from almonds, used in the kitchen to add a mild, gently nutty taste to baking, dressings and light cooking. It suits home bakers who want a soft almond note without using ground almonds or extract. Please check the product details on this page for how this oil is intended to be used.

What Almond Oil Tastes Like

Almond oil has a light, smooth taste with a soft nutty background. It is much milder than almond extract and does not taste sharp or like marzipan.

The oil is thin and runs easily. It mixes well into batters and whisks into dressings without feeling heavy.

Ways to Use Almond Oil

Almond oil works best where its gentle flavour can be noticed. These are some of the ways home cooks use it:

  • In sponge cakes and loaf cakes, in place of some of the neutral oil
  • Whisked into a salad dressing with lemon juice or vinegar
  • Stirred through warm grains, couscous or pasta
  • Drizzled over roasted vegetables just before serving
  • Brushed lightly over almond biscuits or tray bakes before baking
  • Mixed into homemade granola with oats, seeds and chopped nuts

Almond Oil or Almond Extract?

Almond oil and almond extract are not the same thing. Almond oil is a fat taken from the nut, while almond extract is a strong liquid flavouring.

If a recipe asks for extract by the drop, oil will not give the same punch. Use almond oil when you want a soft nutty taste and a moist crumb, and keep extract for a bold marzipan flavour.

Tips for Cooking with Almond Oil

Start with a small amount when you try almond oil for the first time. You can always add more at the end of cooking.

For cakes, swap part of the oil in your usual recipe rather than all of it, and see how you like the taste. For hot frying, follow the guidance on the product label, as heat suitability depends on how the oil has been made.

Almond Oil FAQ

Can I use almond oil in baking?

Yes, almond oil can replace some or all of the neutral oil in many cake and muffin recipes. It gives a light nutty taste and keeps the crumb soft.

Is almond oil the same as almond extract?

No, almond oil is a pressed oil and almond extract is a concentrated flavouring. They are used in different amounts and give different results.

Is almond oil suitable for people with a nut allergy?

Almond oil is made from almonds, so anyone with a nut allergy should read the allergen information on this page and seek advice before using it.

Add almond oil to your basket ready for your next batch of cakes or your next fresh salad dressing.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website.
