almond oil

Drupe seed press

Almond oil is oil pressed from almonds, used in cooking, cosmetics, and skincare.

Sweet almond oil appears in salad dressings, baked goods, and as a carrier oil for massage and aromatherapy.

Bitter almond oil, from a different variety, contains compounds that can produce cyanide and is used sparingly for flavoring extracts.
