The first time I tasted Stony Brook’s Butternut Squash Seed Oil I was completely taken by it’s savory and nutty flavor. Love at first taste! I always have it in my pantry.

I use it on both sweet and savory dishes, and it is always mixed in my salad dressings.

There is a touch of sweetness to it, so drizzle it on ice cream or cheese cake and be amazed.

As always these simple foods we source for you have such a complex flavor that they enliven almost any dish: pasta, salads, desserts and marinades.

I highly recommend this—it is a gift I give guests and friends who I love! Here are some ways to use this amazing oil:

• Dressing with olive oil, butternut squash seed oil, vinegar of choice, a touch of white wine and whatever seasoning moves me that night plus salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.
• Pan searing sweet vegetables like snap peas, carrots, and especially brussels sprouts.
• Drizzle over dessert—ice cream, cheese cake, mascarpone.
• As a standalone dressing on a caprese salad. Just drizzle and serve.
• Add to an Asian style marinade in place of sesame oil.
