Every Bit Organic Sweet Almond Oil Extra Virgin Cold Press Unrefined 250ml

Cold pressed and unrefined means exactly what it says here: the almonds are pressed without heat and without chemical solvents, and the oil is bottled as it comes. That is why it keeps its pale gold colour, its faint nutty aroma and its vitamin E and essential fatty acids, where a refined oil would lose most of that on the way through the factory.

The texture is light and slips easily over the skin without feeling heavy, which is why sweet almond oil has been a standard massage and moisturising oil for so long. It suits sensitive skin, and it can go straight onto clean, dry skin - patch test first, as with any oil.

In the kitchen it belongs on the cooler side of cooking. Drizzled over a salad, whisked into a dressing, blended into a smoothie or stirred through baking, it adds a mild richness. It is not a frying oil, and high heat will spoil it.

One ingredient, 100% sweet almond oil, certified organic and bottled in Australia in recyclable glass. Once open, the fridge keeps it fresh - unrefined oils turn faster than refined ones.
