Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is a premium culinary oil cold-pressed or refined from the flesh of ripe avocados. Valued by home cooks and professional chefs alike, it offers a smooth, buttery flavour profile and a naturally high smoke point that makes it well suited to a wide range of cooking methods — from high-heat roasting and searing to light salad dressings and marinades.
When choosing an avocado oil, look for clearly labelled grades: extra-virgin or cold-pressed varieties retain more of the oil’s natural character and are ideal for finishing dishes and dressings, while refined avocado oil is better suited to high-temperature cooking. Check the origin, extraction method, and packaging — dark glass or opaque bottles help protect quality. As with all cooking oils, use as part of a varied and balanced diet.
