Quick answer
Both are Level 2-3 with the same emulsification process. Avocado oil mayo changes the fat source but not the processing level. The oil swap may have nutritional implications (more monounsaturated fat), but from a processing standpoint, the two products are equivalent.
Processing levels can vary significantly between brands and specific products within each category. Always check the ingredient list of the specific product you are considering.

Frequently asked questions
Is avocado oil mayo less processed than regular mayo?
No. The processing is identical; eggs, oil, vinegar, and salt are emulsified together. The only difference is the type of oil used. Soybean oil and avocado oil undergo similar refining processes. The mayo-making process itself does not change.
Why is avocado oil mayo more expensive?
Avocado oil costs more to produce than soybean or canola oil due to lower crop yields and a more involved extraction process. This raw material cost difference drives the price premium, not any additional processing of the mayo itself.
