Is this sweet or bitter almond oil?

It's sweet almond oil and you CAN cook with it. And you can use it in your hair and on your body. Sweet almond oil doesn't have much of a smell. Bitter almond oil is the oil that smells really good. But you can't cook with it! The sweet almond oil is all purpose. I use it in face and body lotions and it's great.

It's moisturizing oil, I don't think it's edible. But I have tasted it and it has no taste at all.

I would say it is more herbaceous. I don't find it an unpleasant odor but I could see how someone unfamiliar with the oil might be a little "put off" by the smell.

Unfortunately, it's roasted almonds. I didn't know that when I ordered. The image in the description shows "Blanched almonds, palm fruit oil". The product I received says "Blanched roasted almonds, palm fruit oil". I wish I had seen this Q&A; before I ordered.

Bitter raw apricot kernels have the medicinal properties... The more bitter they are the better! Regular apricot kernels are sweet, but I'm sure they have some medicinal properties as well, just not as strong as the bitter raw kernels... Hope this helps!!!

As far as I ca tell it's not. It's cold pressed. Hope this helps and if you order it you like it... I like the taste but this is the first time I've tried macadamia nut oil. Been using it for a salad dressing...

No, none at all. Sweetleaf is one of very few that does not have a bitter aftertaste.

This is not the same as tea tree oil. It is instead said to be from a form of evergreen called thuja occidentals.

My last shipment was the same too. There was no difference in the taste. I stirred it up and used as normal. I would imagine this is not atypical given that there is nothing other than almonds in the container.

Not bitter at all! Actually a bit sweet. I'm not a fan of anything bitter myself. I guess like any spice it can taste different from brand to brand. I buy frontier organic turmeric in bulk & it's actual a bit sweet too. Been adding it daily to tuna fish (just an idea since my whole family loves it this way;)

On the label it says: organic and wild crafted essential oils of: cinnamon, peppermint, spearmint, clove, myrrh and manuka in a base of organic almond oil. It has a really pleasant, fresh taste and smell. My dentist says it is fine to use, but did caution that cinnamon has been known to irritate some people's mouths. Good luck!

It has a peculiar taste (not pleasant) Tastes like fish oil! I would not personally buy it again.

It's sweetish, but not as much as sugar. However, it's an oil and will make coffee greasy. I use it in place of butter on graham crackers for example, and on my skin.

I agree About olive oil, I do not have any experience with almond oil. Jojoba oil is not as greasy and believe me if anything was going to cause breakouts, it would happen to me and it never has with this oil. I only use oil on my face and have tried many types, this is one of my favorites:) I hope this helps.

Alex, it is common for European Almonds to contain an occasional bitter one due to the genetic traits of their almond varieties. If you get more than a few bitter almonds in a bag, that would be an excessive amount, and we would request that you contact us with your order ID for a refund. We are constantly evaluating the almond quality of our supplier partners and appreciate the feedback as it helps us improve our quality. Best Regards, Terrasoul Superfoods

I'm not sure. It doesn't say on the bottle. It just says 100% pure almond oil, imported from Italy. I've been using it to moisturize my skin and oil my oboe and clarinet.

It's derived only from argan, and contains no almonds. The word 'almonds' is a translation error by Ecocert (which is a French organization). If you look at the new certification, you can see it's been corrected. (Almonds are not listed on the bottle; only on the since corrected certificate.) This product is 100% pure cosmetic moroccan argan oil, and has been certified organic and pure by Ecocert.
