The liquid gold of the pantry. Save up all of your pennies to buy the best you can get your hands on. I've recently fallen in love with avocado oil. All of my oils are organic and unrefined. If it makes me an oil snob, then so be it.
Flavor and color vary depending on the processing, region, and quality of fruit. Oils that say "product of" are grown and produced in that country. "Produced in" are oils used from multiple countries. Although the most expensive, I always use extra-virgin for everything because I'm worth it!
Safflower oil is pressed from the seeds of the safflower plant, a thistle-like member of the sunflower family. A light, all-purpose oil that is nearly tasteless. Excellent for frying.
A pale, bland-tasting oil very similar to safflower oil but harder to find. Use for salad dressings, cooking, and frying.
