Density 60 · +38 vs Fats & oils median

Hazelnut oil posts a 60 of 100 score, a Good band result that ranks it 4th of 60 fats and oils and far above the category median of 22. As a pressed oil it is essentially pure fat, but that fat carries a striking 315% of the daily value for vitamin E per 100 grams.

Its nutty flavor makes it better suited to finishing a salad or drizzling over roasted vegetables than to high heat cooking, where the character is lost. Being essentially all fat, it is calorie dense at 884 calories per 100 grams and carries a flagged 7.4 g of saturated fat per 100 g, so a single tablespoon, about 14 grams, goes a long way.
