Most hazelnut oil on Irish shelves is imported, refined and filtered until very little of the nut is left. Ours is pressed at low temperature from certified organic hazelnuts, left to settle naturally and bottled by hand, so it keeps its full flavour, colour and nutrients. A little sediment in the bottle is the sign it has been done properly.
Use it cold: dressings, dips, drizzled over porridge, yoghurt, roast veg, pasta or ice cream, and in brownies and banana bread in place of butter. Not for frying.
Why it is good for you
- Around 78% monounsaturated fat, the same “good fat” olive oil is known for.
- Naturally high in vitamin E, plus manganese, copper and omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids.
- Cold pressing keeps these nutrients intact. Refined oils lose most of them.
- Suitable for vegan, keto and gluten-free diets.
- House vinaigrette: 3 parts hazelnut oil, 1 part cider vinegar, a pinch of salt and a little honey.
- Swap it for butter or neutral oil in brownies, banana bread, carrot cake and biscuits.
- Finish pasta, risotto, roast squash or mushrooms with a spoonful just before serving.
- Drizzle over porridge, pancakes, yoghurt or vanilla ice cream.
- Serve with cheese boards and cured meats instead of olive oil.
Ingredients: 100% certified organic hazelnuts.
Allergens: Contains hazelnuts (tree nuts). May contain traces of other nuts.

From our farm in Portarlington
Pressed slowly. Never heated, never filtered.
Supermarket nut oils are refined at high heat and filtered clear, which is why they taste of very little. We press certified organic nuts and seeds at low temperature, let the oil settle naturally for days, then bottle it by hand in small batches on the farm.
What you get is the full flavour of the nut, the colour, and the vitamin E and good fats that refining strips out.

FAQ
Questions
Anything else? Message us on the chat or email ionorganicoil@gmail.com.
Is hazelnut oil good for cooking?
Yes, for cold and low-heat cooking. It is ideal for dressings, dips, baking and finishing dishes. Do not use it for deep frying or high-heat searing, as the heat destroys the flavour and nutrients.
What does hazelnut oil taste like?
Rich, toasty and nutty, like fresh roasted hazelnuts, with a smooth, slightly sweet finish.
How long does hazelnut oil last?
Unopened, up to 12 months in a cool dark cupboard. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and use within about 3 months.
Why is there sediment in the bottle?
Because we do not filter our oil. The fine sediment is natural hazelnut particles and carries flavour. Shake gently or leave it to settle, whichever you prefer.
Is your hazelnut oil organic and made in Ireland?
Yes. It is certified organic by the Irish Organic Association and cold pressed and bottled by hand on our family farm in Portarlington, Co. Laois.
What is the difference between cold pressed and refined hazelnut oil?
Cold pressed oil is squeezed from the nut at low temperature with no chemicals, so it keeps its vitamins, antioxidants and flavour. Refined oil is heated and treated, giving a neutral, bland oil with far fewer nutrients.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes, on all orders over €70 within Ireland.
