Once the oil is extracted, you should have a golden green liquid. Let it sit for a few hours to separate any remaining solids from the oil.
Strain the Oil:
Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain out any remaining pulp or solids from the oil. The resulting liquid is your homemade avocado oil.
Store the Oil:
Pour the strained avocado oil into a clean, airtight container. Store it in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. It can also be refrigerated to extend its shelf life.
Tips:
Oil Yield: Keep in mind that the oil yield from avocado is relatively low, and making it at home can be a more labor-intensive process than purchasing it pre-made.
Oil Use: Avocado oil is great for cooking, baking, or as a skincare product due to its moisturizing properties.
Making avocado oil at home is a rewarding process, but for regular use, buying high-quality, cold-pressed avocado oil from the store might be a more practical option due to the complexity of extraction.
