A recent study found that 80% of commercial avocado oil is either mixed with cheaper oils like canola or rancid. Limited avocado supply forces producers to use unsellable fruit and oversell beyond what they can actually make, a problem the olive oil market knows well.
A recent study just came out, and it said that something like 80% of the avocado oil that you can buy is actually canola oil or another oil that's cut in with it, or it's rancid and oxidized. So it's hard to make good quality avocado oil. And they're going to take the avocados that are the ones they couldn't sell you to make avocado oil. So just like olive oil, they're selling more avocado oil than we could produce. So, you know, a lot of it's fake.
