Cold Pressed Oils GRANA - walnut
The cold pressed gluten-free line of GRANA plant oils is an optimal solution for oral and dermal application, and our cold pressing technology preserves all their valuable ingredients: simple and complex unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, lecithins, flavonoids, aromas, and proteins. Thanks to this, their action is not limited to individual organic systems but encompasses the entire organism!
All our oils, except for black cumin (due to climate), are locally sourced and freshly produced in small batches!
Walnuts are not only a delicious addition to food and desserts but also a nutritional powerhouse. They contain a wealth of proteins and fibers, as well as numerous "good" fats, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium, and vitamins B, E, and K. The taste of GRANA walnut oil is rich, delicate, and pleasant as it is produced in small batches from controlled cultivation. Walnut oil can be used daily – on its own before or after meals, for preparing sauces, salads, or desserts.
The main characteristic of walnuts is their richness in antioxidants and alpha-linolenic acid.
According to some sources, gargling walnut oil has traditionally been used for low vision and cataracts. One teaspoon of walnut oil is gargled in the mouth for one minute and then swallowed.
Culinary applications:
Walnut oil can be used for preparing cold salads, hot soups, and sauces. Users of walnut oil emphasize that it is a real treat when combined with cheese.
It can be used in ready-made dishes as an addition to sauces, salad dressings, and roasted chicken.
It can be used as an emulsifier in various vegetable spreads, added as an emulsifier in cakes (replacing or reducing the amount of eggs), to make homemade mayonnaise, to season cold vegetable salads, and added to morning cereals/oatmeal, added to smoothies, drizzled on salads and cooked grains, and works excellently in bread instead of, for example, olive oil (2 tablespoons).

Usage: 1-3 tablespoons daily, on its own or in food. Can walnut oil be fried? – Yes, but briefly. Walnut oil is suitable for briefly frying vegetables, meat, and fish. Be careful not to let it start smoking. Walnut oil usually starts to smoke at 160°C.
Walnut oil is completely safe and very rarely causes allergies for most people. Possible side effects from excessive consumption may lead to a stronger lowering of blood sugar levels and lowering of blood pressure. Although internal use of walnut oil is completely safe, it is extremely potent and may cause an inflammatory response in the intestines (nausea) in a very small percentage of highly sensitive individuals. If this occurs when consuming walnut oil, then only use it on the skin and stop consuming it orally.
