Avocado oil
Persea americana · Oil
Top 10 pairings
Avocado oil is the fat pressed from the buttery flesh of the avocado (Persea americana), one of the very few culinary oils — like olive oil — won from a fruit pulp rather than a seed. Cold-pressed unrefined oil runs an unmistakable emerald green-gold and tastes grassy and faintly buttery; refined oil is pale, near-neutral and prized for a very high smoke point. It is used both raw in dressings and hot for searing and frying.

Good to know
Avocado oil is a fruit-pulp oil, not a seed oil: like olive oil it is pressed from the soft, oily flesh of the fruit rather than from a dried seed, which is why cold-pressed grades carry grassy green-leaf volatiles that seed oils lack.
