Pacifica Culinaria
Avocado Oil
Many people aren’t even familiar with avocado oils, let alone these incredible infused oils from Pacifica Culinaria. They can be used to grill, sauté, sear or just drizzle on a dish as an anointing oil. Some of the flavors include Blood Orange Avocado Oil, Key Lime Avocado Oil, Coastal Lemon Avocado Oil, Roasted Chili Avocado Oil, and Provençal Herb Infused Avocado Oil. We like to stick them in gift baskets or buy three or four, wrap them in tissue paper and present them in a beautiful box. Also see our review of Olivado Avocado Oil, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.
