Making your own avocado oil at home is not only a rewarding process but also ensures you have a fresh, chemical-free product to enjoy in your cooking and beauty routines. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to extract oil from avocados right in your kitchen.

1. Gather Your Ingredients To make avocado oil, you’ll need ripe avocados. The number of avocados depends on how much oil you want to produce. Generally, about eight to ten avocados will yield about half a cup of oil.

2. Preparing the Avocados

Step One: Wash the avocados thoroughly to remove any residues.

Step Two: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a blender.

Step Three: Blend the avocado flesh until it becomes a smooth, creamy paste.

3. Heating the Paste

Step One: Transfer the avocado paste to a saucepan.

Step Two: Heat the paste on low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the paste from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As it heats, the oil will begin to separate from the pulp and water.

Step Three: Continue to heat until water starts to evaporate and the remaining material thickens, ensuring not to burn the paste.

4. Separating the Oil

Step One: Once you have a thick, green mush, remove it from heat and let it cool.

Step Two: Place the cooled mush in a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Press or squeeze to extract the oil. For better extraction, you can use a nut milk bag for finer filtration.

Step Three: Collect the oil in the bowl. It will appear green and vibrant.

5. Storing the Oil

Step One: Transfer the oil into an airtight container. Glass is preferred as it will not react with the oil.

Step Two: Store the oil in a cool, dark place. The refrigerator is ideal for prolonging its shelf life.

6. Usage Homemade avocado oil is perfect for dressing salads, cooking at medium heat, or as a skin and hair moisturizer. Its rich, nutty flavor and high smoke point make it versatile for culinary and beauty applications.

By following these steps, you can create a pure, preservative-free avocado oil that is fresher and more nutrient-rich than many store-bought alternatives. Enjoy the process and the many benefits of your homemade oil!
