Avocado oil is a pale to deep green culinary oil pressed from the flesh of ripe avocados. It has a buttery, green aroma; refined varieties taste neutral with very high smoke points, while extra-virgin versions are more robust. Common uses include searing, sauteing, roasting, and making vinaigrettes and mayonnaise.
Native to Mesoamerica, avocado cultivation spread from Mexico and Central America to warm regions worldwide, and modern oil production is concentrated in Mexico, California, Chile, Kenya, and South Africa. Processing parallels olive oil: cold-pressing or centrifugation yields extra-virgin oil, with further refining for neutral, high-heat applications.
