Good product

I recently ordered the 3-pack of Chef's Life Organic Avocado Oil. I normally keep a couple oil dispensers next to the stove, handy for cooking, frying, and salads. My thought was to replace the vegetable oil with this avocado oil, which comes with additional health benefits and a supposedly higher smoke point (since I don't usually cook with high enough heat to burn oils, this hasn't been tested). So far, I'm quite happy with the purchase.The bottles arrived shrink-wrapped together, each with an intact spout and a stamped expiration date of January, 2025. While this is a lot of oil to use in a relatively short time, I appreciate that it wasn't some impossibly distant date, suggesting the oil was fresh and would not remain so for too long because it was 100% oil with no preservatives. Underneath each spout cap was a foil and paper seal, with a little pull tab that, frankly, did not work well. I finally was able to pry it up by grasping the tab with pliers. Although frustrating, it gave me confidence that the seller did pay attention to making sure the product was completely sealed. The oil itself is lighter and has no discernable flavor, making it a smart choice to replace another vegetable oil in most situations. I like too that it is in three separate packages, which makes it easy to stash one with my camping gear or split the package with like-minded cooks. I only have two minor complaints about the product. The first is that the spout, while dispensing oil nicely, does tend to drip oil and be a bit messy, which means I need to clean it off carefully after each use. I'm not sure that there is a better solution, but do be aware. The other quibble is price; my family is not picky enough nor health-conscious enough (although healthy) to insist on better quality oils, so even though I know avocado oil commands a higher price, I'm not sure that it can be justified in our budget at the expensive of, say, better peppers or mushrooms or something that elevates flavor. For someone who does care, though, this is a very nice (and gift-able) package.

I only use Avocado oil for cooking, so I have used many different brands over the years. After using this oil, I would say that it seems to be a good product. But, two things make me question the product.First, is the smoke point. A high smoke point is one of the main reasons that Avocado oil might be chosen over another oil. The three brands I have used most recently are Kirkland (Costco), Chosen Foods, and Massimo Gusto (both purchased from a Kroger owned store). This 'Chef's Life' oil smokes at a significantly lower temperature than those other brands. There is no regulatory number that I am aware of for the smoke point of an Avocado oil. But, it is common for it to be in the high 400s to the lower 500s. I was getting some pretty significant smoke at a temperature of around 350. That's not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but it does make me question either the ingredients (label says only one ingredient, Organic Avocado Oil). Or, perhaps this oil is being processed in a way that is lowering it's smoke point. I have no way to know or verify this, it's just from using the product vs others.The second odd thing I noticed was from reviewing the 'Nutrition Facts' label between the Massimo Gusto brand and the Chef's LIfe (see side by side photo):Both have 120 calories per tablespoon or 15ml.Both have 14 grams of Total Fat. The label on the Chef's Life brand shows a 4% lower number (22 vs 18) for the percentage based on a 2,000 calorie diet. In this case, the Massimo Gusto is correct. 14 grams is 21.5% (clearly rounded up to 22) of the 65 grams the USDA uses. So, the Chef's Life label is showing a lower percentage than it is.BUT...when looking at the Saturated Fat component, Chef's Life appears to be correct. 2 grams is 10% of the recommended daily number (20 grams). In this case, the Massimo Gusto is incorrect. It states 5%, but it in fact is 10%. Both get a knock for poor labeling I guess.Both brands show Zero Trans Fat, which is good.The next item is Polyunsaturated fat. The Chef's Life brand shows 1/3rd of the amount of PUFA compared to the Massimo Gusto brand which also only has one ingredient, Avocado Oil. Which is better? A quick sample of several other brands available on Amazon indicated that most have 2 grams.The rest of the numbers were the same. Massimo calls out the Vitamin E, Omega 6, and Omega 3 values, but most other oils do not list this.Let me be clear, I don't think there is anything wrong with this oil. I do question what causes it to smoke at a significantly lower temperature than I feel it should. But, that could come down to processing, or a difference in the Avocado fruit that is used in the oil. I do like the packaging. I like to put my oils in squeeze bottles for use, and this saves me a step. The bottle is also black and likely blocks light from potentially affecting the oil, another plus. The oil works well for cooking (at lower temps) and I have no issues with flavor as one should expect with this type of oil.I received this product free of charge from the Vine program. Based on that alone, I am 100% happy with the product. Had I paid the full price for the product, I would still say it's good. But, I would do a closer comparison with other brands to make sure that this really lives up to it's price point.

Need to add a little oil to the pan you're cooking with? The pour top on these bottles make it so easy to add a little bit while you're cooking.I have used this in several dishes and found that it does not change or add the flavor to my favorite vegetable dishes.

Chefs Life Organic Avocado Oil:These Chef's Life organic avocado oils are fantastic.This was the first time I cooked my veggie patty and chicken stir fry, which became delicious.They are made from the freshest organic avocados, perfect for adding nutrition and flavor to high-heat cooking. They are also non-gmo. The drizzle of the oil system is fantastic.My whole family loves the taste, and I highly recommend them.
