    I do use unrefined coconut oil for eggs if I am not using butter or bacon fat (same source as yours) as I like the flavor. I make ghee for myself from grass-fed butter - it is less expensive than the store-bought version and I KNOW what kind of butter was used These days I reserve olive and avocado oil for salads - and I generally use walnut oil for making mayo with. For me olive oil is too strong to make mayonnaise with - at least for me it is. Walnut oil works great in mayo, milder flavor than olive oil, and it is less expensive than avocado oil.
