How to make walnut oil?
First, the walnuts must be crushed to such an extent that its particles begin to release oil, which comes out in the form of a thick mass and resembles a paste in appearance. This can be done with a blender or high power coffee grinder.
If desired or necessary, too thick nut mass can be diluted with other vegetable oils. Walnut oil has an appetizing creamy color, which is why it got its second name - "nut butter".
Storing walnut oil
In the process of grinding the nut, the oils contained in it are instantly oxidized, as a result of which the shelf life of the nut oil is significantly lower than the shelf life of whole walnuts. Homemade peanut butter will last no longer than two to three months in the refrigerator.
If you purchased such oil in a store, then in its sealed packaging it can be stored at room temperature. However, as soon as the packaging loses its tightness, the oil must immediately be transferred to the refrigerator. When walnut oil becomes unusable, it starts to give off an unpleasant odor and loses its taste. It is better to send such oil to the trash immediately.
