Cooking with almond oil.
You have to know, that there are two kinds of almond oil – refined and cold-pressed, which are different in properties.

• Refined almond oil – is stable in high temperature, so it can be used in baking or frying. Nevertheless it doesn’t provide strong almond taste to dishes. During baking you may replace butter or other oils by almond oil. 
• Cold-pressed almond oil – has low smoke point and can’t withstand high temperatures, but it provides strong almond flavor to dishes. You may use it as an ingredient of smoothie or salad dressing.

Choose cold-pressed almond oil to tend your skin and hair beauty. Unrefined oil contains much more nutritional value, which can benefit your body.
