Rated 2 out of 5
Hass –
From Mantou Joe’s 2016
“This baby will cost you $8.99 per bottle. I’m sure Costco, where the cost is low, offers this at a better price.
This is apparently the new cool kid on the block, so cool that the TJ’s cashier asked me why so many people were buying this. Yes, it’s full of the wonderful monounsaturated fat that can help lower cholesterol blah blah blah. But unlike olive oil, especially the extra virgin variety, avocado oil has a much higher smoke point, which means it can be used for actual cooking and roasting. And then I proceeded to launch into a semi-rant about how heat breaks down the good cis-bonds such that when the oil cools, trans-bonds form instead (really sorry if I’ve made any chemists, organic chemists, food scientists writhe with my super unsophisticated explanation. It’s been donkey years since I’ve taken any chemistry).
