The Whiskwell Table
Whiskwell™ Texas Pecan Oil — The Other Texas Gold™
Founded by Melissa in the fall of 2025, Whiskwell™ is dedicated to producing small-batch, organic Texas pecan oil and supporting Texas growers. The Whiskwell™ Table is a curated collection of 20 recipes via The Southern Whisk that use both oils: Texas Pecan Oil and Texas Garlic Pecan Oil, both cold-pressed.
Four categories including Sandwiches, Pastas, Salads, and Mains, the recipes are designed to highlight the versatility of Whiskwell’s oils across a range of flavors and cooking styles—from fresh and light to bold and rustic.
