I think it means that you should not use raw almonds as a source for making your almond flavouring (I think there are health issues around raw almonds in certain circumstances?)

By the way: Only use extract of sweet almond oil; bitter almond oil contains hydrocyanic acid.

--- Does it mean that one should only use oil extract from sweet almond? The construction "extract of sweet almond oil" is not clear to me.

Sorry, it could also mean an extract (i.e. an extracted substance) that is obtained from sweet almond oil. This depends on whether it is chunked as "[extract of sweet almond] oil" or "extract of [sweet almond oil]".
