La Tourangelle, Avocado Oil, Refined High Smoke Point Great for High Heat Cooking, Frying, Cast Iron Seasoning, Handcrafted from Premium Avocados, 169 Fl Oz

I’m pretty picky about olive oil, and this one from La Tourangelle did not disappoint. Right away you can tell it’s high quality. It has that fresh, slightly peppery bite you expect from early harvest EVOO, which tells me it’s rich in polyphenols and not just a bland cooking oil. I mainly use it for drizzling over salads, roasted veggies, and dipping bread, and it really elevates simple meals. The flavor is bright without being overpowering, and it doesn’t taste flat or stale like some larger bottles can. I also appreciate that it’s organic and cold-pressed. The bottle is sturdy and pours cleanly without making a mess (small detail, big appreciation). It works well for light cooking, but honestly this shines most as a finishing oil where you can actually taste it. If you like a more robust, peppery olive oil that feels fresh and intentional, this is a great staple to keep in your kitchen. I’ll definitely repurchase.

Very light flavor. So it’s good for use in dressings or multiple forms of cooking. Heat resistance is pretty decent. Haven’t noticed any wild smoke points. Good quality oil especially for the price.

Beautiful green, smooth, and flavorful.

I’m very pleased with this olive oil! The quality is excellent and the flavor is rich, smooth, and fresh. It adds a wonderful taste to salads, pasta, vegetables, and even simple dishes like toasted bread. You can really tell it’s a good quality olive oil.

Appears to be very high quality product, but be aware it is not by any means mildly flavored as advertised. It is as strong as any extra virgin olive oil I have. I bought this believing it would be a neutral and flavorless oil for making mayonnaise. It emulsified beautifully but the mayo is bright green and a bit bitter. That being said it was used for tuna salad and paired well when served on mixed greens with a vinaigrette. Not sure I’d want it on a sandwich though.

I added this to my winter grubstake, and now to order a back-up supply. I'm a lifelong baker and enthusiastic amateur cook, and I lived in rural Alaska for decades. We know good stuff, and I love my different oils for different cooking techniques. This one is tasty with homebaked rustic breads, drizzled on pastas or mixed up with spices and vinaigrettes for various salads.

Edit 4-11-17: Amazon discontined offering La Tourangelle Avocado oil via Subscribe and Save which is a shame. It is still available and pretty much the same price I was previously payinig. I wanted everyone to know that I just had a very 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.

Great value for the money and totally light free container. Much healthier than any vegetable/canola type oil, able to sautee at higher temp than olive oil. Easy to use can, smells so fresh!
