The gourmet oils from la Croix Verte are delicious, flavoursome and all natural French products handcrafted in Saumur, Loire Valley.
 
Their artisan oil mill has been handcrafting nuts and seeds oils for 150 years.
 
Pistachio oil works best with freshly squeezed orange juice or a sweet vinegar like balsamic and a dash of honey to make a vinaigrette to dress a salad of endive or bitter greens, or roasted beets and tangy goat cheese.
 
You can drizzle it on steamed green vegetables or dribble it on a tartare of scallops and grapefruit sections.
 
Or add a little splash of pistachio to finish off pan-fried chicken or salmon.
 
Or brush fresh apricots with pistachio oil, then toss them on the grill, and finish them off with a scoop of pistachio ice cream or a drizzle of honey and a few crushed pistachio nuts.
