About Pecan oil

Pecan oil is edible oil pressed or extracted from pecan kernels. It is a clear, pourable oil, usually pale golden, with a mild, nutty aroma and flavour. Colour and flavour can vary with extraction and refining; refined oil is generally less strongly flavoured than less-refined oil.

It is used in cooking, dressings and other foods where a nutty oil is suitable. Products may be refined or unrefined, and the name does not specify extraction method or whether other oils are blended, so the label is needed to distinguish particular forms.
