walnut oil

Pressed tree seed

Its nutty flavor makes it prized for salad dressings and finishing dishes, though it doesn't tolerate high heat well.

Woodworkers use it as a natural finish that penetrates and protects without forming a hard surface coating: He rubbed walnut oil into the cutting board.
