I try to exclusively use animal fats (mostly tallow, and pork lard) from properly raised animals for cooking purposes, but sometimes I will include a dollop of coconut oil to raise the smoke point.

I used to eat a lot of olive oil growing up, but given that a number of producers creating questionable quality olive oil (also true of avocado oil) I don’t even bother sifting through the different companies. I enjoy making and consuming high quality food, the last thing I want to *have to* do is hours of research to enjoy my meal.
