Here is how you can make avocado oil at home:

#1 Ripe avocados

Not too ripe Pulse

Look for avocados that are slightly soft or springy to the touch, but not mushy. They must not be all the way ripe. You will be extracting the oil from the pulp of the avocado. Since One avocado will only yield about One tablespoon (15 mL) of oil or a little less, you will need a lot of avocados if you want a significant quantity of oil. One hundred avocados will get you about 1.5 liters only. Avocado oil has a lot of uses, including skin and hair care as well as cooking.

#2 Remove the skin and seed

Peel the avocado Pulse

Use a kitchen knife to cut through the skin and pulp of the avocado, cutting around the large pit in the middle. Carefully pull the two halves of the avocado apart, then scoop out the seed and peel off the skin.

#3 Blend the avocado into a paste

Blend it Pulse

Once you’ve removed the pulp, mash it up with a potato masher or mortar and pestle. Then, place the avocado in a blender and mix it into a creamy paste.

Add a little water if the pulp is too firm to blend easily.
If you like, you can mix in a little bit of coconut oil at this point to help the avocado pulp release its oil more easily. If you used 12 avocados, put in about ¹⁄₃ cup (79 mL) of coconut oil.

#4 Cook the paste

Place the blended avocado pulp in a large sauce pan over the lowest possible heat on your stove. Use a simmer setting, if you can. Simmer the pulp for 40 to 60 minutes, or until it changes from pale green to dark green or brown.

Stir the pulp frequently as it cooks, or it may stick to the sides of the pan and burn.
You should begin to see the oil separating from the pulp and pooling at the top of the pan as you cook.

# 5 Scoop the mixture into a bowl and cover it with a muslin cloth

Once your oil is cooked, pour it into a heat-safe container, such as a metal or ceramic bowl. Drape a clean kitchen cloth made of a fine material, such as muslin or cheesecloth, over the top of the bowl.

Since you will be squeezing the oil out of the cooked avocado pulp by hand, let the mixture sit for several minutes to cool down.

#6 Squeeze the oil out

Once the avocado pulp is cool enough to touch, flip the bowl over to transfer the pulp onto the cloth. Gather the edges together to create a bag, then squeeze the pulp through the cloth and let the oil run out.

Squeeze the cloth over a clean bowl or directly over a storage container, such as a glass bottle or jar.
The avocado oil should be a rich, emerald green color.

#7 Store your oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a year

Put the oil in a container with an airtight lid or stopper, and store it away from light and heat for a whole year. You read that right. Airtight container. In the fridge. For a year. Avocado oil keeps best when stored in the refrigerator.

Your avocado oil may become cloudy when it is chilled, but it should become clear again when it warms up to room temperature.
If you don’t have an airtight container, use your avocado oil within 2 or 3 days.
Fresh avocado oil should have a subtle, nutty smell. If your oil has gone bad, it will develop a strong, rancid smell and an unpleasant taste.

You are welcome.
