On top of the many health benefits here are a few: it may reduce cholesterol, improve heart health and lower blood pressure. It’s high in rich Oleic Acid, a very healthy fat. The essential fats found in avocados are essential for digestion and nutrient absorption because they nourish the lining of the gut. It’s an all-round super food! The versatile avocado is the only fruit that provides a substantial amount of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. Avocados are a naturally nutrient-dense food and contain many vitamins and minerals. Extra Virgin Cold Pressed - Extra Virgin is the highest grade of avocado oil, produced from the pressing of good quality avocados. Produced at low temperatures, without chemicals the oil is 100% pure and natural. Cold pressing from the first press of the avocado fruit means it retains the same high level of nutrients, natural flavor, aroma and color found in fresh avocado. High Smoke Point - Not every oil is created equal. The benefit of avocado oil is that it can be heated to very high temperatures. Why is this good? When oil is heated past its smoke point, the fat starts to break down, releasing free radicals and any health benefit that the oil had is lost. 16 Avocados in Every Bottle - Every one of our 250ml bottles contains 16 cold pressed avocados. Quality Avocado Oil should have a taste and color characteristics of the fresh avocado fruit and be a dark vibrant green. We house our oil in dark glass bottles, which keeps out light and oxygen retaining the quality of the oil Made From A Superfruit - Did you know avocado is considered a SUPERFRUIT? Its nutritional benefits are well documented and wide ranging. The versatile avocado is the only fruit that provides a substantial amount of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. Avocados are a naturally nutrient-dense food and contain many vitamins and minerals. An all round champion, its high fat content aids the absorption of other nutrients essential for healthy living. We wanted to share the health giving properties of Avocado Oil with others. Our story came to fruition 20 years ago, in Tauranga. The Bay of Plenty is situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s north island. It’s renowned for having nutrient rich volcanic soil and a warm climate, which plays a pivotal role in growing the finest Haas avocados. We had a vision to deliver the highest quality avocado oil and for food lovers to reap the health-giving benefits. We set our goal and with a dose of Kiwi ingenuity, innovation and hard work we began to press and extract the oily goodness from this superfood into its concentrated form. We’re proud to be named the first producers of 100% natural, virgin cold-pressed avocado oil. Our world-class production process ensures that the oil extracted reaches your table at its purest. The delicate aroma, colour and distinct flavour cocoons the abundance of well-being benefits found in this nutrient dense oil – something we’re honoured to produce and share with the world.
