Description
A natural, colorless drying oil pressed from the nuts of a walnut tree, Juglans regia. Walnuts contain approximately 65% oil. The cold-pressed oil is pale yellow while the hot-pressed oil has a green tinge. Walnut oil dries slower and yellows less than linseed oil, but it dries faster than poppy seed oil. It was popular as a paint medium in Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany. Walnut oil will turn rancid and develop a strong odor on storage.
