Unrefined walnut oil is made from nuts that are dried and then cold-pressed. Good quality walnut oil is topaz in colour with a rich nutty taste.
Walnut oil has a limited shelf life, about 6-12 months. Once opened, all nut oils should be kept in a cool place out of the light or refrigerated to prevent them from becoming rancid. Several medical studies have conducted research that indicates that walnut oil offers a rich source for antioxidants, specifically ellagic acid.
This antioxidant has been found to detoxify several substances linked to the development of certain cancers. In addition, ellagic acid also helps to obstruct these cancer cells from replicating themselves.
Walnut oil is also rich in manganese and copper, as well as melatonin, a hormone that aids in regulation of the body’s internal clock. Listed below are seven great health benefits of walnut oil:

2. Lowers heart disease risk:
- The cardio-protective benefits of walnut oil come primarily from the high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid that ultimately is converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) A Yale University study in 2009 found that consumption of walnuts in daily basis may improve the health of blood vessels, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease.
