La Tourangelle Walnut Oil – Cold-Pressed French 250ml

La Tourangelle's walnut oil is a French classic, cold-pressed from roasted walnuts grown in the Loire Valley. Unlike refined vegetable oils, walnut oil carries the warm, nutty depth of its source — toasted and delicate, never bitter. At 250 millilitres, a bottle is potent: a little goes far in the kitchen.

About this product

Produced in Loches, France, using traditional methods, this oil is pressed without heat or chemical extraction. The walnuts are gently roasted before pressing, which develops their natural flavor while preserving the oil's nutritional profile. The result is a golden-brown oil with a clean, sophisticated taste. It is best used at the finish of dishes — drizzled over salads, whisked into vinaigrettes, or spooned onto warm vegetables — rather than for cooking at high temperatures.

How to enjoy

• Dress a warm beetroot and feta salad with walnut oil and sherry vinegar.
• Whisk into mayonnaise or aioli for a French twist on sandwiches.
• Drizzle over roasted root vegetables or creamy soups just before serving.
• Use in vinaigrettes for autumn greens, pears, and blue cheese.

⭐ Why we love this

La Tourangelle represents the best of French artisanal oil-making — a tradition that demands patience and respect for the ingredient. Cold-pressing roasted walnuts preserves delicate flavors that industrial extraction destroys, making this a finishing oil of genuine sophistication that elevates simple dishes.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with a crisp dry Sancerre or Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley — the wine's herbaceous notes echo the walnut oil's toasted complexity. Perfect drizzled over cured ham, fresh goat cheese, or autumn salads with pear and walnuts for an authentically French appetizer.

📍 From Spain

While La Tourangelle hails from Loches in France's Loire Valley — a region celebrated for walnut cultivation and traditional pressing since the 19th century — we source this masterpiece for Iberian Direct because it complements Spanish cuisine beautifully, particularly alongside Iberian ham, manchego cheese, and Spanish autumn produce.
