Olivado is based at Kerikeri in New Zealand's beautiful Bay of Islands. The main business of Olivado involves avocados and olives; two very healthy, wonderful fruits. Their products are pressed at their own purpose-built plant, which is unique in the world in that it is able to produce high-quality, extra virgin, cold-pressed oil from both fruits using the same process. The plant is also the largest continuous process plant producing these types of oils in Australia.

Their Omega Plus Extra Virgin Oils combine what they do best - avocado oil and olive oil blended with flax seed oil. Olivado Omega Oil is selected from natural oils to produce an optimal blend of omega 9, omega 6, and omega 3 fatty acids. These latter two fatty acids are an essential source of necessary nutrients in our diet. Olivado Omega Oil is free of trans fatty acids, is low in saturated fatty acids, and contains no cholesterol. Other micro nutrients essential for good health and contained in this oil are Vitamin E, chlorophyll (the green color), lutein, and beta Sitosterol. This is the ideal nutritious oil for a balanced diet, in keeping with the Mediterranean lifestyle which is known to reduce the risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke.

As well as being good for you, Olivado Omega Oil also tastes great and is a versatile cooking ingredient in dressings, smoothies, cooked vegetables, and as a shallow pan frying oil.
