Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is quite simply the pressed juice of New Zealand's finest quality ripe avocados. Olivado can call it Extra Virgin because its pressed at temperatures below 55F and contains an acid content of just 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 uponened bottle. Among the healthiest infused oils, it has a high smoke point of 500F. Try their infused Extra Virgin Avocado Oils. Olivado's special, deep infusion method creates intense flavor profiles.:
