About Walnut oil
Wikipedia Article About Walnut oil on Wikipedia

Walnut oil is oil extracted from walnuts.Walnut oil is used to a limited extent in cooking, though not as extensively as other oils due to the fact that it is still an expensive specialty product. It is light-colored and delicate in flavor and scent, with a slight nutty quality. Although sometimes used for pan frying, most chefs do not use walnut oil for high temperature cooking, as heating can remove some of the oil's flavor and produce a slight bitterness; instead it is used primarily as an ingredient in cold dishes such as salad dressings, where its flavor can more easily come through. Most walnut oil is produced in France, though there are also producers in Australia and New Zealand.
