wasting it. As a general rule, I use avocado oil and a great quality extra virgin olive oil interchangeably.The color is a beautiful shade of green, the taste has the distinctive creamy and slightly grassy/slightly sweet taste of avocados. It's great on salads, to dip bread into, or drizzled on soups or stews. I've also cooked with it when the flavor of avocado will pair nicely. I tend to use it in Latin American dishes, because I follow the rule of "if it grows together it goes together." One thing that is different about avocado oil vs olive oil, is La Tourangelle recommends it is kept refrigerated after opening. The first time I purchased, I kept it in the cupboard with other oils and didn't notice a significant different in flavors, nor did it appear to go rancid any faster than when I kept it in the fridge, but I may use it more than a typical home cook. Since it's kept in the fridge, it will solidify making it impractical to just grab and add to what it is you're cooking. So I usually take a 4 cup measuring cup and fill it 1/3 with warm water and put the can of oil right into it for a few minutes to liquify the oil, then use as normal. I'm not an expert in food or medicine, but there's a general consensus among people far more qualified than me of health benefits associated with avocado oil. It is made up of monounsaturated fatty acids which reduce inflammation, assist in decreasing LDL, and assist in increasing HDL; it's rich in antioxidants; and it contains compounds beneficial to fighting liver damage. The bottom line is, if you like avocados and are looking for an alternative oil to add to your cooking, this is a reasonable size container of avocado oil at a reasonable price.

but this one's far better. This one is a bright green and the other brand was a dark yellow in bottle and clear outside it. This one is less oily feeling ,absorbs faster and more moisturizing for my somewhat dry 26 year old skin. With amazon prime it's 3 dollars cheaper for better quality. I will most definitely keep using this amazing avocado oil for my moisturizer. I put up a picture comparing this brand on the left to the other on the right.

asy and absorbs AMAZING. I loved it so much! I wore a teeny bit under my makeup primer and I was complimented so much at work for the beauty of my skin. The exterior of the bottle was damaged..it was dented in pretty badly; however, it didn't puncture the interior at all.

ry nice exchange of e-mails with someone from La Tourangelle. I had questions about their manufacturing process which were all answered to my satisfaction. I also asked if any of their avocados come from fields watered with refined fracking water. I was told that they have reached out to all of their avocado suppliers and have been assured that none of them water fields with fracking water. I continue to believe that, for the money, this is the best avocado oil I can buy for the good health of my husband and I. I believe La Tourangelle strives to provide the best avocado oil available for the price and does their best to give excellent customer service.

This is my first experience with Avocado Oil. I was expecting a stronger avocado taste but I was wrong. THIS is what I wanted. The taste is so smooth, rich, buttery, and mild. There's no acidic bite at all. If I really concentrate when tasting it I can taste a hint of avocado. My husband says he really tastes the avocado and it's great. I guess everyone's taste buds are different. In any event we both love it. It's wonderful for sauteing, especially if your using a little higher heat. I don't agree with the people who suggest this is good for temps up to 500 degrees. I wouldn't want to go higher than 375.

I used it last night to saute' assorted veggies and then scrambled them with eggs and broken up pieces of Morning Star Sausage. It was very good. I didn't miss butter at all which is what I usually like to use with eggs. Olive oil and eggs just don't do it for me. From what I've read, there are significant health benefits derived from avocado oil. I'm hooked. I'm keeping this on subscribe and save. It's now olive oil and avocado oil for almost everything except baking. Oh..add Sesame oil to that list. Can't make Chinese dumplings without that for the dipping sauce and it's a must for fried rice. I buy Kadoya right here on Amazon. It's the best sesame oil I've ever tried.

Update: I'm on my 3rd can of Tourangelle Avocado Oil and I continue to love it. It's become my go to oil for almost everything including messaging any drips of oil into my hands to moisturize. I freeze a lot of roasted pepper from my garden in the summer time. I take out a few peppers at a time and put them in oil to defrost and keep in the frig. I love it on Rosemary bread with Feta cheese. This oil is much tastier than using olive oil. When all the peppers are used up we soak up any left over oil with bread and eat it. It's just wonderful tasting oil.

ning. I am very happy with this purchase, will definitely buy again!

I bought the Kirkland Avocado oil that was much less expensive, but found out it is in a green colored glass bottle, and the oil just smells like plain "vegetable/ soybean refined oil (because it is much more refined).

So:
+ high heat oil
+ nice aroma and flavor
+ pretty color
+ kept in a metal container to keep out heat and light, which makes the oil not oxidize as fast/ last longer
+ easy to digest

-pricier then less quality oils.

other products but it just wasn't right for my skin. I'm an African American and I have dry areas on my forehead cheeks and between my eyes and eyebrows as well. I got my oil aboutn2 weeks ago and after I bathe I put my oil in my hands and I rub them together first to warm the oil and then i pat on my face. I wait a minute and rub in circular motions even in the corners of my eyes carefully and on my forehead where it is really dry and around the 5th day I noticed a dramatic change in my skin. It begin to feel like a baby's bottom....literally. It looks as if it's been awaken from a deep slumber. And its not greasy at all. And it doesn't take much at all. Futhering my research on oils since I'm new at this I ordered the Rose Hip Oil and Olive oil and I mixed them together and for about 3 days now its even better my skin. I recommend anyone with really dry and flaky skin to get this product. Its done amazing things for my skin. Even though my noise is so oily it doesn't make it oilier in fact it minimizes the oil on my nose. I will definitely by again.

avor; the texture is exceptionally smooth and I detect no off-tastes whatsoever.

One of my favorite uses is to make an avocado spread (healthier substitute for mayonnaise). Just mash an avocado (or cheat & use Hass packaged guacamole), add about two teaspoons or more of this oil, some sea salt, organic pepper and a touch of your favorite garlic salt. Add a little lime or lemon juice if you like (I usually don't) & you have the perfect sandwich spread. I like to use it on a warmed/toasted croissant. Allow the croissant to cool, split in half on the horizontal, slather on some avocado spread, then add romaine, red onion, organic tomatoes, your favorite cheeses or meats, a touch of sea salt and pepper and enjoy!

This is staying on my Subscribe & Save list; it's great!

P.S. Get over your fat phobia--healthy fats are great complements to your long-term health; the right ones are essential for healthy hearts, brains, & skin. Avocado oil is a delicious and nutritious way to eat SMARTER. This one's 100% PURE AVOCADO with no additives and no preservatives. One more thing: this oil is also suitable for use as a moisturizer; it works wonders for dry skin.

Avocado oil is my remedy...One teaspoon in palm of my hand & I run hands & fingers through my hair...Comb goes right through the hair, no fallout on the comb! Yes, it the hair looks oily, so don't do it if you have plans to go out. Do it at night. Wonderful conditioning moisturizer.... Washes out easily next day & no other conditioner is needed...Hair is still tangle free without being oily....Will not be without it!!

wonderful, by comparison, the Walmart brand tasted like motor oil.
