About Poppyseed oil

Poppyseed oil is oil pressed from poppy seeds and is a distinct product from whole poppy seeds. It is a liquid oil used in some culinary settings, including as a dressing or finishing oil. Its colour is often pale yellow, and its flavour can be mild and nut-like, though these qualities vary with seed source, extraction, and refining.

Products may be refined or unrefined, and the name alone does not establish whether a particular bottle is intended for food use. It is generally sold as a bottled liquid. Because processing can change flavour and appearance, product labels are important when identifying the specific form; this term does not refer to poppy-flavoured oil made from a different base.
