 
Walnut oil is a tender product, extremely sensitive to heat, light and age. It was traditionally made in small batches, more of a perishable ingredient than a shelf-stable condiment. With mechanized processing, its longevity has been improved, but poorly made brands are still legion. When they are good, they are very very good, and when they're bad, they're terrible. Supermarket-quality oils often smell and taste oily when opened, which points out a sad fact about the poseurs in the grocery aisle: that stuff is nothing but walnut-flavored oil. Or worse, it's oil that's been tortured out of the walnut with heat and chemicals.
A bad walnut oil is the ruin of an otherwise great dish. The mark of an excellent nut oil is deceptively simple. It should taste like rich, warm, toasted nuts. It should make your eyes roll to the back of your head at least a bit. It should transport you, for a moment, to some place that tastes of sunlight and loving labor. Welcome to your newest culinary destination:
La Nogalera Walnut oil.

As seen this month in La Cucina Italiana Magazine. Guiseppe's Honey Vinegar is not only organic, but has a lovely aroma that hints of the honey from which it was made. This is one delightful vinegar.
