Walnut oil has an optimum composition of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid and especially a high percentage of omega 3 fatty acids. In order not to destroy this fatty acids, walnut oil should only be used cold on salads and dressings and never be heated. Since it spoils rather quickly, it should be stored in a cool and dark place, e.g. in the refrigerator. Smoked ham is a valuable lean source of protein. Those who don’t eat pork, can also replace it with lean turkey or beef such as bresaola.
