How do you use avocado oil?Updated 22 days ago

You can use our Cold-Pressed, Extra-Virgin Avocado Oil in a number of ways.

High heat cooking. Our avocado oil is perfect for high heat cooking.

With a smoke point of 250C+, avocado oil is more resistant to oxidation when heated, compared to rapeseed (smoke point of roughly 190C), sunflower oil (smoke point of 230C) and even coconut oil (smoke point of 232C).

Drizzled over salads. The antioxidant carotenoids in food need an oil base to be absorbed into the body, and avocado oil can help with this. One study found that adding avocado oil to a salad could significantly increase the absorption of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein, so it's worth drizzling on.

For baking. You can bake with avocado oil, and it makes a good butter replacement for those with dairy allergies too. If a recipe calls for 100g of butter, simply replace it with 100ml of oil.
