• Sautéed Chicken with Peanut Oil Sauce: In a bowl, mix peanut oil, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar, then set aside.

Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
• Peanut Oil Brownies: Preheat your oven and grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix peanut oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then, incorporate cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and mix. Finally, add the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.

The Aromas of Peanut Oil

Peanut oil has a robust and toasted flavor. It is often used in Asian and African cuisine for its ability to withstand high cooking temperatures. The aroma of peanut oil comes from the fatty acids present in peanuts. These fatty acids give the oil its distinctive taste and a slight hazelnut scent.

Virgin Peanut Oil from the Expertise of Huilerie Beaujolaise

The mill at Huilerie Beaujolaise still produces virgin peanut oil today, using an artisanal process. Peanuts are first crushed and then cooked for 45 minutes. They are pressed in a hydraulic press, giving the peanut oil a mild toasted hazelnut flavor. After settling, the oil is filtered using paper filters.
