What is pine nut oil and how is it made?

It’s a cold-pressed oil from Pinus gerardiana (Chilgoza) kernels. Low-temperature extraction and light filtration help preserve its delicate aroma, vitamin E, and unsaturated fatty acids (including pinolenic acid).

Best as a finishing oil or in dressings, dips, and pesto. Suitable for low-to-medium heat; not recommended for high-heat frying or searing to protect flavor and nutrients.

Keep in a cool, dark place (ideally 0–25 °C). Unopened shelf life is up to 12 months; after opening, seal tightly—refrigeration helps—and enjoy within 6–8 weeks for peak freshness.

Yes—tree-nut allergen. Avoid if you have nut allergies. For cosmetic use, do a small patch test first. General wellness information only—not medical advice.

Private-label packaging is available. Batch COA and lab tests (e.g., peroxide value, microbiology, heavy metals/pesticides) plus standard export documents can be provided on request.
