oil

Taste & Role

Used as a high-heat cooking oil for stir-frying, searing, and deep-frying, where it stands in for neutral oils like canola or peanut. Unrefined, cold-pressed versions are better suited to salad dressings, marinades, and finishing drizzles where their flavor can shine.

What it is

Avocado oil is a cooking oil pressed from the flesh of ripe avocados rather than from a seed or nut. It is prized for having one of the highest smoke points of any common cooking oil, especially in its refined form. Its mild flavor and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat profile have made it a popular choice in modern kitchens.
