Does Avocado Oil Go Bad? How Long Does It Last?

Does Avocado Oil Go Bad? • Like all other oils, avocado oil certainly doesn’t last forever. While it won’t grow mold, it will slowly oxidize over time and eventually turn rancid. That’s when you get rid of it.

• Like olive oil (which avocado oil is often compared to), it is quite low in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which helps it last quite a while. But that only slows down the rancidification process, which is responsible for turning oils rancid; it doesn’t prevent it from occurring.

• Obviously, the process is slow-going, and it takes months for your avocado oil to turn fully rancid. And if you use that oil often, you’ll find it difficult to notice any changes in smell or taste. They’re only obvious when you compare an old bottle with a freshly opened one.

• With that in mind, let’s say your avocado oil is nearing (or past) its date, and you want to check if the fat-based product is still useable. That’s when knowing the signs of spoilage comes in handy.

Types of Avocado Oil • Avocado oil is still a relatively new product, and different types aren’t well standardized like it’s the case for sesame oil, where you have plain and toasted varieties, and it’s pretty clear which is which.For avocado oils, you can divide them into two groups:  Unrefined, most often labeled as “extra virgin” or “virgin.”  Refined, where the label usually says it clearly that the oil was refined.

• Unrefined avocado oil usually comes with a green hue and tastes a bit like avocados, and you might notice a slight buttery flavor or even some mushrooms. It depends on the oil, so if you recently switched brands, don’t be surprised that the new one tastes differently.

• On the other hand, refined avocado oil is quite neutral both in terms of color and smell. The oil extracted from avocados is refined to be similar to vegetable oils, which work great in many settings because they don’t have a distinct taste.
