This trendy and healthy oil has recently gained a lot of traction in the health food world. If you aren’t familiar, you may be wondering what the hype is all about. Or maybe you’re unsure what makes Extra Virgin Avocado Oil different from other oils. In this section, we dive into the specifics of how it’s made, what makes it special, and how to use it. We will also talk about the health benefits, and how to make sure you’re selecting a high-quality oil.

What is Extra Virgin Avocado Oil?

Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is the mild-tasting emerald-green liquid that is collected from the pressing of avocados. Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is produced using only the flesh of the avocado; the pit and skin are discarded, and the oil is left unrefined.

It is a versatile, and nutrient-rich oil. It has a high smoke point, making it a great choice for your everyday cooking needs.

How is it made?

Generally, avocado oil is produced by pressing the entire fruit, pit and skin included, to extract the oil that it contains. Often, avocados that can no longer be sold to the consumer are used. The oil is then refined by washing with a chemical solution, and/or is heated to create a uniform product and neutralize any off-flavours that result from using overripened or rotten avocados.

Extra Virgin Avocado Oil, on the other hand, is made solely from the flesh of the avocado. The pit is removed, and the skin is peeled away. The flesh of the avocado is then slowly pressed and churned, at a low temperature, ensuring the purest product with minimal processing.

Our pure Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is unique because it is made from the pulp of Mexican Hass Avocados. Only the best avocados are selected and pressed when they are at their peak ripeness. Pure Oil, Comes Out goes into the press, and rich, balanced, nutrient-dense,

Selecting an Extra Virgin Avocado Oil

A recent scientific study, that looked at the Extra Virgin Avocado Oil currently available on the market in the USA, found that the majority of commercially available avocado oils are low quality. Even more upsetting, is the product is often oxidized (gone bad), and/or adulterated (cut with another kind of oil). For this reason, it is important to know what to look for when purchasing avocado oil.

First, do your research, and only buy products that come directly from authentic, high-quality suppliers.

At the grocery store, read the labels carefully and look for the words pure, unrefined, and cold-pressed. If the label states the acidity, often written as %oleic acid, look for one that is less than 1%.

Next, look at the packaging. An authentic Extra Virgin Avocado Oil can only be stored in a dark glass jar.

Skip any oil in a plastic bottle, and avoid clear or lightly coloured glass. Dark glass protects the oil from oxidation while it is being shipped and stored.

The final test, is to take the oil home and sample it. The oil should be emerald green in colour.

This colour indicates a high content of antioxidants, such as chlorophyll and tocopherols. The smell of a high-quality oil be sweet, the taste should be mild and smooth, and it should still taste lightly of avocado.

Health benefits

Our Extra Virgin Avocado Oil has a unique and healthful nutritional profile. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, also known as good fats. It is also high in antioxidants, and is considered nutrient-dense, while still being low in saturated fat and carbohydrates.

The high concentration of fats helps boost to vitamin and mineral absorption within our bodies.
