First off: I hate the taste of Avocados. I have been looking to replace my Olive Oil. Next to my Raw Organic Coconut oil, this is now my favorite oil! It does not smell or taste like avocados. Instead it has a nice buttery smell. It will not change the flavor of your food only enhance it. I was skeptical, So I only ordered one bottle. Save yourself some money and just order the 2 pack. If you are using Olive Oil I bet you will just love this as I believe it is so much better.
Questions I had before buying:
*It comes in a dark glass bottle.
*The expiration date was roughly a year out from date of purchase
*It comes with a certified Non GMO verified Label
*Cold Pressed extraction
On a Personal Note:
I took another reviewers advice and made homemade mayo with it. I got the recipe off the internet. It did not turn out at all and I wasted ½ cup of oil. The directions said use an immersion blender and I used my good Vitamix. It was runny. It smelled so heavenly that I couldn't quit at my failed attempt. So I then went to the Chosen Foods Website and used their recipe. Again it says use an Immersion blender so I did. It is the most fabulous mayo. You will never want store bought mayo again!
When I found out the smoke point of EVOO was 325-350 degrees I felt a little sick knowing I had cooked with it at higher temps than that. I went on a search for cooking oil with a high smoke point and Grapeseed and Avocado oil were it. The refined avocado oil has a smoke point between 450 and 500 degrees. This makes it great for marinades when grilling and a host of other things. Please know that if you buy unrefined oil it is going to have a lower smoke point.
