avocado oil

Pressed alligator pear

Avocado oil is oil pressed from the flesh of avocados, used in cooking and cosmetics.

Its high smoke point makes it suitable for high-heat cooking like searing and frying.

The oil has a mild, buttery flavor and appears in salad dressings and marinades.

In skincare, it's valued for moisturizing properties.
