How Avocado Oil Became America’s Fastest-Growing Cooking Oil

Avocado oil didn’t start as a trend.
And it definitely didn’t become the fastest-growing oil category in the U.S. by luck.

It grew because people started asking better questions about what they cook with.
And honestly? I get it, because I asked those same questions myself. When my first baby was born i started asking more questions about vegetable oils in baby formulas and other foods, and thats when I started to be more mindful about foods.

When I first stepped into this space, I wasn’t chasing a “hot category.” I was chasing algo mejor, something cleaner, stronger, and more honest than what I kept seeing on shelves.

It Starts in the Kitchen (Siempre)

Like many founders, this didn’t begin in a boardroom.
It started in the kitchen cooking for family, turning up the heat, and realizing how many oils just couldn’t handle it.

Avocado oil was different.

High smoke point. Neutral taste. No weird after-burn.
It could sear, sauté, roast , fuego alto and still keep its integrity.

That’s when I realized: this oil wasn’t just “healthy.”
It was functional.

Consumers Are Smarter Now

People read labels now. They Google. They ask where things come from.

And avocado oil answers those questions clearly:

• High in good fats (the ones your corazón actually likes)

• Naturally rich in antioxidants

• No need for heavy refining or shortcuts

In a world full of noise, avocado oil feels simple.
And simplicity builds trust.

That trust is why more households are switching,  not just health food shoppers, but everyday families. Moms. Chefs. Founders. People who just want to cook sin miedo.

Why the Category Is Exploding

Avocado oil is growing fast because it fits real life.

Not a diet. Not a fad.
Just better oil for how we actually cook.

You see it now:

• On more grocery shelves

• In restaurants

• In snacks, sauces, and packaged foods

It’s gone from “premium niche” to pantry staple and that doesn’t happen unless people truly use it and love it.

For us, This Is Personal

Avocados are part of our story.
Family. Tierra. Trabajo duro.

So watching avocado oil rise in the U.S. feels bigger than market data or growth charts. It feels like something rooted in tradition finally getting the recognition it deserves.

This category isn’t growing because of hype.
It’s growing because it works! 

The Bottom Line

Avocado oil is here to stay.

Not because it’s trendy but because it respects the food, the heat, and the people cooking with it.

And as a founder, that’s the kind of growth I believe in.
Lento, real, con propósito.
