Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They carry aroma. Most smell molecules dissolve in fat rather than water, which is why you bloom spices in oil. They also conduct heat, shorten gluten and soften texture.

Where it catches you out

Every fat has its own smoke point. Butter burns at 150 °C, extra virgin olive oil holds to 190 — choose the fat for the job, not the bottle.

The knack

For hazelnut flour, pulse the grinder and stop before the nuts turn into an oily paste.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep airtight in a cool, dry, dark cupboard for 3 months; refrigerate for 1 year.

Gluten-free

Plain raw hazelnuts are naturally gluten-free.
