Every single recipe nowadays calls for avocado oil, but I see no advantages compared with virgin olive oil for salads or sunflower oil for cooking, and that’s even if the avocado oil isn’t 1) rancid or 2) soybean oil wearing a hat and moustache. Plus, aren’t avocados notoriously water intensive and bad for the environment? Save them for eating, I say.
Avocado oil can withstand higher heat than most other oils. Refined avocado oil has a smoke point of 270°C, compared to extra virgin olive oil which smokes at only 190°C. So it’s good to use in anything that you cook at very high temps but for a lot of recipes it probably doesn’t matter.
