What it is

Extra virgin avocado oil is a cooking oil pressed from the pulp of avocados. It is made by mechanically pressing the fruit without the use of heat or chemicals, which helps preserve its natural flavor and nutrients. This process results in a rich, green oil with a mild, buttery taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use extra virgin avocado oil as a cooking oil for sautéing, roasting, and baking due to its high smoke point and mild flavor. It's also used in salad dressings, marinades, and as a finishing oil for dishes. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in both home kitchens and the food industry.

Health notes

Extra virgin avocado oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated avocado oil. Research suggests that the consumption of monounsaturated fats may help support heart health.

Allergen info

Avocado oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
