I can't find it anywhere. None of the health food shops I tried stocked it and neither did the supermarkets, so am about to start on line. I've heard that good quality is topaz in colour?? How would I know (apart from the colour) that it is good quality? Is there a ratio of one ingredient to the other(s)?? Here's hoping I'm lucky.Mrs LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070413740231580278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-30404297744265400222015-07-05T15:19:49.231+01:002015-07-05T15:19:49.231+01:00Have never tried walnut oil.
