Avodemia’s high quality extra virgin avocado oil is made from the finest grown Kenyan avocados.
It is 100% natural and unrefined. The oil is extracted using a single cold pressed production method, which ensures all the essential nutrients are retained.
Avodemia guarantees a completely chemical and additive free extraction process.
The production of avocado oil is as unique as the product itself. As the only cooking oil made from the pulp of the fruit rather than the pit or skin, our extra virgin avocado oil is produced as natural as possible using a sterilized cold-press technology, free of hexane and other chemical solvents that many other oils production processes use. Pressing at lower temperatures allows the avocado oil to retain its nutritional content, expressive aromatics, emerald green color and superb flavors.
Our top-of-the-line equipment radically reduces the water required of conventional avocado oil presses, allowing for more gentle treatment of the avocados and greater environmental sensitivity. As citizens of the planet, we believe the less water used, the better.
The Cold-Pressing ProcessOur extra virgin avocado oil is first cold-pressed. After our avocados are sun-ripened on the tree, they are hand-picked, sorted, washed, and then passed through pit and skin removers. Once the fruit is free of its skin and pit, it is malaxed (mixed) at a low temperature to begin the oil separation process.
The malaxers are constantly monitored for temperature and to reduce oxidation, the fruit is only malaxed for the minimal time necessary to make extra virgin avocado oil. After malaxing, the fruit is passed through a two-part centrifuge system that separates the pulp and water from the oil. Finally, a polishing separator fines out any remaining particulates to create our smooth, emerald green extra virgin oil that is truly unique.
Avocados are washed → the skin & pit are removed from each avocado → avocado pulp is malaxing (mixed) with fresh, cold water → avocado pulp mixture is pressed through a centrifuge to extract the oil (first cold-press) → oil is polished through a series of screens → extra virgin avocado oil
Extra Virgin Avocado oil is versatile and has both culinary and skin care uses. Countless studies have linked extra virgin avocado oil to powerful health benefits. Examples:
Avodemia Extra virgin oil meets international standards and is of superior quality produced by mechanical means only, with no use of chemicals at all. Our steps are audited annually and certified by the Kenyan regulatory and certification bodies, the Horticultural Crops Directorate (HCD) under the Agriculture and Food Authority(AFA) and the Inspectorate body, the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS)
Our oil is tested by an independent laboratory, and a certificate of analysis can be provided with a shipment on request.
