This is my go-to cooking oil for high-heat cooking. It has a very high smoke point and the flavor is not noticeable in cooking. I like Chosen Foods Avocado Oil, Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, and the Avocado Oil Spray (by Chosen Foods).

Costco offers Chosen Foods Avocado Oil at a better price point (and larger bottle).

I make my own ghee with Organic Valley Pasture Butter or Kerrygold, but if you need ready-made ghee, Pure Indian Foods is rated 4 (Excellent) on Cornucopia Institute's Dairy scorecard for their GrassFed Ghee.

I have been using Nutiva unrefined coconut oil for years now and keep extra jars stocked for cooking and baking.

I love Kasandrinos olive oil, but I've only been able to purchase it online. I usually stock up with tins when they go on sale, but I also use Lucini, which is available in many stores and is QAI certified.

California Olive Ranch is likely the most bang-for-your-buck olive oil that is readily available in most retailers. California Olive Ranch also scored well* in the UC Davis Study, which evaluated the quality of olive oils. *I think it is important to disclose that California Olive Ranch also was one of the financial backers of the study.

I recently started using Thrive Algae Oil after reading about its high Omega-3 levels (compared to many cooking oils with higher Omega-6 levels). It has a mild taste and a high smoke point for tempering.

I use Nutiva Organic Shortening occasionally, when a recipe calls for shortening or when I'm looking to replace butter in a recipe.
