Omega Pressery Premium Extra Virgin Avocado Oil for Cooking - 250ml | Cold Pr...

Real avocado oil can come in 2 methods, one extra virgin, unrefined cold pressed, and one refined for higher smoking points but a lot of loss of nutrients in comparison to the cold pressed unrefined one. I've had the opportunity to try both. Extra virgin avocado oil cold pressed unrefined taste- green tinge, highly grassy, buttery with a really tiny almost hard to define hint of mushroom after taste. Has a lower smoking point than the refined at 230-250oC Really the lower the better for unrefined one. Real avocado oil- Lost some nutrients, Refined taste- just buttery and mushroomy, kind of bland yellow or clear lighter than yellow colour, there's no green in it, or you can't tell if there is. This has a high smoking point of 271oC give or take. When cooking smoking point matters because oil that starts to smoke undergoes a chemical change that not only affects the flavour of the oil, but also affects the nutritional quality of the food cooked in it. So it's important to use higher smoking point oils when cooking for best results. There's something else worth noting, not to mention free fatty acids in the oil break down at smoking points, releasing free radicals that are harmful compounds, it's a process called oxidation, which is unhealthy for our cells. This is why I use extra virgin avocado oil either for cooking light and short foods, but mainly for dressing salads. refined is best for cooking long term and just a little. This Omega avocado oil is extra virgin, and cold pressed it is 100% full of nutrient healthy fat oil, filled with antioxidants, and vitamins. It does tastes like it's extra virgin, grassy buttery and is slightly green in colour, very slight hint of mushroom, which is overpowered by the grassy taste. I like that becuse I'm not a fan of mushrooms lol, and is the best one I've had thus far. It's a bit pricey though at £8.10 for 250ml and that's apparently on offer. Since I have no issues with this 5by5, but value is 3/5. P.S The way I use real avocado oil, typically for high heat cooking, sometimes dressing foods, and real extra virgin cold pressed olive oil always just for dressing foods, never cooking, because the olive oil has a much lower smoking point than avocado oil. Also the issues with some real avocado oils, is they can be fake by being mixed with other oils, always go with the taste, pure grassy, buttery, with a possible hint of mushroom, the main taste buds should be towards grassy and buttery, it did not tingle or was sharp down my throat. That is only a truth to extra virgin cold pressed olive oil.

The oil has a light, smooth texture and a mildly nutty flavor that enhances dishes without overpowering them. I’ve used it for everything from frying vegetables to drizzling over my salads, and it performs splendidly. It also has a high smoke point, making it perfect for frying and baking. Highly recommend this oil for anyone looking for a healthy cooking oil option that doesn’t compromise on flavor or quality. Will definitely be purchasing again! Surprised it doesn’t cost more for what you get.

I’ve been using this avocado oil for a few months now, and it has completely transformed my cooking! Being health conscious, I’ve been looking for a good high smoke point oil that I can use for all types of cooking - I’m so glad I’ve finally found this. I use it for salad dressings, frying, baking, everything. The quality is 10/10 - it is so smooth and buttery, with a subtle, delicious flavour. Definitely recommend!

Nice enough but nothing to compare it with as never bought avocado oil before . It does taste of avocado though.

This avocado oil is truly distinct and has a mild avocado flavour which really enhances the dishes I've used it in - I've used it on toast, in salad and also as a finishing touch over pasta. I really like how super smooth and rich the oil is without being overpowering. Will definitely buy again!

The oil was good quality, tasted incredible. The bottle is well made ensuring an easy pour. There are also no additives to the oil making it a pure and healthy product. Will be buying this one again!
