Is it a good idea to refrigerate avocado oil in the summer?

Answer 1

Yes. It is monounsaturated and won't last long at room temp. It will go rancid quickly. Keep all those type of oils (nut and seed oils, too) in the fridge, no matter the season.

Answer 2

Avocado - Native to the tropics and subtropics, this rich fruit is known for its lush, buttery texture and mild, faintly nutlike flavor. Ripe avocados yield to a gentle palm pressure, but firm, unripe avocados are what are usually found in the market. Select those that are unblemished and heavy for their size. To speed the ripening process, place several avocados in a paper bag and set aside at room temperature for 2-4 days.

Ripe avocados can be stored in the refrigerator several days. Once avocado flesh is cut and exposed to the air it tends to discolor rapidly. To minimize this effect it is always advisable to add cubed or sliced avocado to a dish at the last moment. When a dish containing mashed avocado, such as guacamole, is being prepared, the addition of lemon or lime juice helps to prevent discoloration.

Though avocados are high in unsaturated fat, the California Avocado Advisory Board states that half of an 8-ounce avocado contains only 138 calories. In addition, avocados contain a fair amount of vitamin C, thiamine and riboflavin.

Answer 3

Most oils like avocado and olive need to be in dark brown or green bottles, or if they are not, put in the refrigerator so they don't become rancid.

No oil should really be fridgerated, if its kept a decent room tempature, and you don't need for a cold press, or cold dish.
