Roasted Pecan Oil
La Tourangelle handcrafts this Roasted Pecan Oil in Woodland, California strictly following 150-year-old French traditional methods because we believe traditional methods are still the best ways to retain all the flavors, nutrients and health benefits that nature provides. Originating in North America, pecan is known as the ultimate American nut. Roasted Pecan oil became a well-kept secret of many top chefs that use it daily adding another layer to their recipes. It adds a smooth buttery taste to salad dressing, pasta, greens and baked pastries, and is perfect to dip with bread. La Tourangelle Roasted Pecan oil melts very well with acidity flavor, creamy texture and soft spices. It brings a unique touch to your meal, transforming the ordinary extra-ordinary.
Usage: La Tourangelle Roasted Pecan oil is absolutely wonderful on all baked goods. It is also a fragrant addition to dressings, sauces and marinades. With pasta, corn and beans, pecan oil serves as a wonderful substitute for butter. It is spectacular with all greens (green beans, broccoli, celery, apple, carrots, mushrooms) and works great with cheese.
Health Benefits: Pecan is a very well balanced oil with high level of monounsaturated fats (around 50%). La Tourangelle Roasted Pecan oil retains most of the nutrients from pecans (vitamin E, vitamin B1, zinc).

The process of extracting the oil has not changed for centuries. Pecans are first ground and slowly roasted to perfection in cast-iron kettles, then expeller-pressed and lightly filtered. The resulting warm paste is then pressed in a hydraulic press. Following mechanical extraction, the oil is lightly filtered and bottled. The leftover cake is sold as cattlefeed or for use in bakeries.
