Cold-Pressed Green Peanut Oil from Georgia-Based Oliver Farm

It was Kim Severson’s article about Oliver Farm’s cold-pressed green peanut oil in the New York Times that first captured Faith’s attention. She just had to have a taste. Luckily, Clay Oliver, head farmer at Oliver Farm in Pitts, Georgia, was happy to oblige. Clay is at the helm of this centennial family-owned and operated working farm, where he makes award-winning cold-pressed sunflower, pecan, and peanut oils.

So very aromatic and light-tasting, the oil is delicate, Chris says, and recommends using it as a finishing oil to drizzle over white fish like flounder, cod, or sole. Salmon, too. A quarter-teaspoon over each fillet, just before serving elevates the protein. Faith imagines a drizzle over an African Peanut Stew would be fantastic. I want to use it to boost the peanutiness of a satay. And Alex has perhaps the most fun way to use it: “I’d fry an Elvis Presley Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich in it.”

Alex wins. Am I right?

ON-DEMAND: Listen to Faith and the gang discuss Oliver Farm’s Organic Green Peanut Oil on The Faith Middleton Food Schmooze®.

If you’re cooking with green peanut oil, or any seemingly non-conventional or up-and-coming oil, let us know about it. Here at The Food Schmooze®, we are SO game.

    Could you please tell me where in Pittsburgh market i can get the sunflower, benne and peanut oils. I saw that the farm ships to businesses but nothing mentioned about a single homeowner where they can get small quanities of their oils.
    I have a friend in Atlanta, do you do markets there? Thank you for your help. Gwen Fraser.

      Hi Gwen. You don’t have to be a company to order from Oliver Farm online, and you can order one bottle or several. Here’s the link to their store. And, here’s a map showing where you’d find their products in stores.
