FAQ

What is Avocado Basil Oil? It's a premium culinary oil from Tubac Gourmet Foods that combines extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil with the aromatic freshness of basil. The result is a rich, buttery oil with a bright herbal finish — elegant enough to use as a finishing oil, versatile enough for everyday cooking.

What does "extra virgin cold pressed" mean? Cold pressing extracts oil from avocados without heat, preserving the natural flavor, color, and nutritional integrity of the fruit. "Extra virgin" indicates the highest quality grade — unrefined and minimally processed. You get the full character of the avocado in every drop.

What does it taste like? Rich and buttery from the avocado, with a fresh, aromatic basil note layered on top. It's savory, herbaceous, and smooth — a flavor combination that works beautifully in both cooking and finishing applications.

What is the smoke point? Avocado oil has one of the highest smoke points of any culinary oil (around 480°F / 250°C), making this blend suitable for sautéing, roasting, and grilling — while still being refined enough to use raw.

How do I use it?

• Finishing oil — drizzle over pasta, pizza, grilled fish, or bruschetta just before serving
• Salad dressings — use as the base for a vibrant vinaigrette
• Dipping oil — serve with crusty bread alongside balsamic
• Sautéing & roasting — handles high heat without breaking down
• Marinades — adds richness and herbal depth to chicken, seafood, or vegetables

How does it compare to regular olive oil? Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than most olive oils and a more neutral buttery flavor. The basil infusion adds an herbal complexity that plain olive oil doesn't offer — it's a more versatile, distinctive option for gourmet cooking.

How much does it cost and what size is it? $20.00 for a 375ml bottle.

How should I store it? Store in a cool, dark place away from direct heat and sunlight. No refrigeration required, but keeping it away from the stovetop will extend its shelf life and preserve the basil flavor.
