Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is quite simply, the juice of the first, cold pressing of New Zealand's finest quality ripe Avocados. We can call it Extra Virgin because its pressed at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius and contains an acid content of 0.2%, far below the 1% required for the Extra Virgin designation. In addition, no heat or solvents are ever used to extract the oil from the fruit. Due to its high chlorophyll content, Avocado oil is very unstable and can degrade very quickly, so after extraction the Olivado subjects the oil to a unique and natural process that completely stabilizes it, retaining the goodness for up to 2 years in an unopened bottle.
