Tricketts Walnut Oil – Cold Pressed, Premium New Zealand Oil
Tricketts Walnut Oil is a high-quality, cold-pressed culinary oil made in New Zealand from carefully selected walnuts. Known for its delicate nutty flavour and smooth finish, this premium oil is designed to enhance food naturally without overpowering it. Whether used in salad dressings, drizzled over finished dishes, or incorporated into light cooking, Tricketts Walnut Oil offers a refined, versatile option for everyday kitchens and gourmet cooking alike.
Produced using a gentle cold-pressing method, this oil retains the natural characteristics of the walnuts, resulting in a clean taste, rich aroma, and light golden colour. The process avoids high heat or chemical extraction, ensuring the oil reflects the integrity of its source ingredient.
Crafted with Care & Simplicity
Tricketts Walnut Oil contains 100% pure walnut oil — nothing added and nothing removed. There are no preservatives, additives, or artificial ingredients. The emphasis is on simplicity, quality, and transparency, making it a reliable pantry staple for those who value natural foods and minimal processing.
Cold-pressing allows the oil to be extracted mechanically at low temperatures, helping preserve the natural flavour profile of the walnuts. The result is a smooth, lightly nutty oil that complements food rather than dominating it.
Delicate Flavour, Exceptional Versatility
Walnut oil is particularly prized for its subtle taste and versatility in the kitchen. Tricketts Walnut Oil is well suited to:
-
Salad dressings and vinaigrettes – pairs beautifully with leafy greens, pear, apple, beetroot and soft cheeses
-
Finishing oil – drizzle over roasted vegetables, pasta, risotto or grilled fish just before serving
-
Baking – ideal for cakes, muffins and pastries where a gentle nut flavour is desired
-
Cold dishes – use in dips, pestos or grain salads
-
Cheese boards – a light drizzle over fresh bread, ricotta or soft cheeses adds depth without heaviness
Due to its delicate nature, walnut oil is best used in low-heat applications or as a finishing oil, rather than for high-temperature frying.
Nutritional Profile & Dietary Suitability
Walnut oil naturally contains unsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids, which are a normal component of walnuts. It contains no carbohydrates, sugars or protein, and is naturally free from dairy and gluten.
This oil is suitable for:
-
Vegetarian and vegan diets
-
Gluten-free diets
-
Dairy-free diets
As with all oils, walnut oil should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. No health or therapeutic claims are made.
