Source
Certified Organic Unrefined Oil of Avocado is produced via mechanical extraction and an additional process of removing the stones (seeds) and skin of the fruit. The remaining flesh is churned for up to 1 hour at high temperature (max 50c) which is similar to the process for Olive Oil. This helps the Avocado Oil extraction without harming the product. Oil is then separated from the water by high-speed centrifuge. Any waste pulp or skins are not wasted since they can be used as animal feedstock, or as mulch to fertilise the orchards later.
Qualities
Our Certified Organic Expressed and Unrefined Avocado Oil has a lovely dark green colour with a high Avocado pulp content and is rich in essential fatty acids, beta carotene and vitamin E.. There are cheaper pale Green products on the market, but you have to wonder what has been done to the product to be such a pale colour. A good treatment for dry and mature skin. Very popular in Cold Process Soap and high-end skin creams.
