One option is Grenadoil from Doctor's Products. It's much more expensive than pretty much all other oils. I think they still exist and offer it, but not sure since I stopped checking once they stopped offering international shipping.

Most regular cooking oils like olive oil or canola oil can become rancid too fast.

Something to consider... Generally there are two approaches to oiling. One is to use a "breathing" oil e.g. almond oil. The other is to use "blocking" oil e.g. some petroleum oils. The latter essentially forms a layer and captures the moisture inside the wood while the former lets it "breath". Instead of petroleum oil I'm wondering if flaxseed oil would work the same e.g. same as for steel and iron pans.

A lot of wood workers use both methods, even on the same type of wood, so it's not that one is necessarily better than the other. The former ("breathing" oil) is generally more common for clarinets.

Are you allergic specifically to almonds? Are you allergic to nuts? If you are, are there any nuts you are not allergic to? Some nut oils are resistant to becoming rancid.
