A flavorful alternative to extra virgin olive oil for high temperature cooking,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Tourangelle Avocado Oil, 16.9-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I bought Avocado Oil specifically for two reasons: one, because it is very similar to olive oil in texture and smell, yet brings a new flavor component to my cooking, and secondly and most importantly for me . . . it has a much higher smoke/burn point than extra virgin olive oil--even higher than Canola oil, grapeseed oil and yes, even safflower oil. I've also read that it's just as healthy. The smoke point of avocado oil is somewhere north of 500F! Roughly 520F in fact. That's amazing, and gives me the versatility I need to quick-fire or sear virtually anything under high heat. La Tourangelle's Avocado Oil, one of the few I've tried, tastes great! Fresh and subtly aromatic.
Basically, this has been the cure to my burned olive oil blues. That's an especially nice thing, since I have a hyper-sensitive smoke detector and have little room for error when it comes to smoke. To sum it up, though I don't always cook with it (I still use olive oil for low and medium temperature cooking), I love having avocado oil close at hand, for those times when I need it. It actually won't replace your olive oil though, because it has a somewhat different flavor, but it is a flavor I love. Avocado oil is ingenious (and a somewhat new discovery), and La Tourangelle is a trusted producer of the finest of fine edible oils. I trust their brand for some other less well-known oils as well. Highly and enthusiastically recommended--to the point that I'm trying to persuade my family and friends to start cooking with Avocado oil.

UPDATED: RECIEVED RANCID OIL,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Tourangelle Avocado Oil, 16.9-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I recieved this oil last week and it is rancid. It smells and tastes like rotten tomatos or avacados and there is no way I could eat this on any type of salad. Both cans arrived in perfect condition and neither are near the expiration date on the bottle. I recommend purchasing from a local retailer so it can be taken back if its rancid. Its too much of a gamble buying from Amazon when you cannot return food items. Lesson learned.
UPDATE 04/05/2011: After reading so many reviews about how good this product was I contacted La Tourangelle through their email system and told them about the situation and asked how this avocado oil was supposed to taste. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to taste the way it did or not. I didn't ask for replacements or anything because I know a lot of companies will not back their product if sold by Amazon. That is not the case with La Tourangelle. I was contacted by Diane through email about a week later asking for the batch numbers. I gave them and didn't hear anything back, until today. About an hour ago UPS delivered a box that contained two large cans of oil; one can of Avocado oil and one can of Hazelnut oil. I was so surprised because I didn't even remember giving them my address, but now recall it was required on their email submission form. At any rate La Tourangelle went above and beyond and they will be getting my business in the future, but only in a B&M store or through their website. That is the only place I can recommend anyone buy these products because Amazon will not take back food items. As far as the oil, the new Avocado oil tastes like real Avocados with no rancid taste or smell and the Hazelnut is out of this world. I plan to try them all out now, from the La Tourangelle website. Companies that go above and beyond will always get my business because they actually care about their product. Thank you La Tourangelle!

This is really a 10-STAR item--go buy it right now!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Tourangelle Avocado Oil, 16.9-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
Although olive oil is healthy for you, I guess I've never found one I really loved the flavor of--either NO flavor or tastes a bit like paint thinner--or the price was astronomical; whatever the case I'd become quite frustrated in my search. Then I learned that when an oil smokes, it releases carcinogens into the air and free radicals within the oil. Olive oil should NOT be heated beyond 325 degrees F. So, in searching for an oil with a higher smoke point PLUS staying within a "paleo" eating way of life I discovered Avocado Oil. This is my new holy grail of oils: it's got a smoke point of 510 degrees F, tastes wonderful, is made from a healthy fat, looks gorgeous in a homemade vinaigrette due to its beautiful green color.
This oil should be refrigerated when opened; the cans have an expiration date of 8/2011--they'll be long used up by then. When my cans arrived, they had dented in a little bit--which I promptly got out by gently squeezing the cans (the metal is quite pliant). I did advise Amazon that they need to wrap the cans in heavy bubble wrap to prevent this. Somehow this oil is not yet well known--but it should and will be. Hope Amazon keeps stocking it. I would DEFINITELY, HIGHLY recommend this product!!!!
