What it is
This is a cooking oil extracted from the flesh of avocados. It is known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for a variety of cooking methods.

It is a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike due to its versatility and desirable cooking properties.
How people cook with it
Avocado oil can be used in many different ways in the kitchen, from high-heat cooking to salad dressings.
- High-heat sautéing
- Roasting vegetables
- Making salad dressings
- Grilling meats
Use this oil for any cooking application that requires a stable fat. Its high smoke point means it can withstand high temperatures without breaking down, which is ideal for searing meats, stir-frying, and pan-frying. It can also be used in baking, where its neutral flavor allows other ingredients to shine. For dressings and marinades, its smooth texture and subtle taste complement a wide range of flavors. It is also a good option for drizzling over finished dishes or for use in homemade mayonnaise.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to olive oil, avocado oil has a higher smoke point, making it better for high-heat cooking. Its flavor is also more neutral, which can be advantageous when you don't want the oil's taste to overpower other ingredients. It is less prone to oxidation at high temperatures.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation.
