Pecan oil is expeller pressed from pecan nuts of the Carya illinoensis family and goes through a full refining, non-chemical bleaching, and deodorization process. The resulting neutral oil is an opaque light-yellow liquid with a bland aroma and flavor profile. Bulk pecan oil is widely distributed for culinary applications; it is a lighter cooking oil than olive oil with a relatively high smoke point, making this a preferred option when cooking at high temperatures. This natural ingredient is often considered a specialty oil and has become a popular addition to salad dressings, dips, marinades, and a wide assortment of various dishes. Pecan oil is a viable source of essential fatty acids, particularly high in Oleic and Linoleic content which are both consumed to improve human health and well-being.
