The Foundation of Every Dish

Cold-pressed peanut oil from American peanuts. The kind of oil that actually tastes like something.

Why Warmhill?

Have you looked at the peanut oil aisle lately? Giant plastic jugs, bottom shelf, probably been sitting there for months. A lot of it tastes like nothing.

Olive oil got its moment. Avocado oil too. Peanut oil never got the same attention, which is strange—it's got a high smoke point, a warm nutty flavor, and it's been a kitchen staple around the world forever.

So we make it right. Cold-pressed from American peanuts, in small batches, with no refining or shortcuts. Oil that actually tastes like something.

The name.

Warmhill is the kitchen you want to be in. Warm pot on the stove, full table, something good in the air. That's what we're going for.

I grew up watching my grandmother Ani cook. First thing she'd do: warm the oil, add the onions. That smell meant something good was about to happen. She used peanut oil because that's what she'd always used.

When I started cooking on my own, I tried to find that same oil. What I found instead was plastic jugs and bland flavor. So I figured I'd make what I was looking for. Cold-pressed peanut oil that actually tastes like something.
