Avocado oil is less well known that its counterpart olive oil, however its health and culinary properties are just as impressive. Like olive oil, it's pressed directly from the flesh of the avocado rather than being chemically extracted like most other common oils. The fruit pulp is then centrifuged to extract the oil. This process retains most of the fruits nutrition, meaning it's not only healthy, delicious and versatile but its easy to use!
Good Fats:
You would have heard us say that AvoHaven avocado oil is full of good fats, and by good fats, we mean heart healthy monounsaturated fat. Avocado oil contains some of the highest levels of these omega-9 fatty acids and have been proven to help reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol. Monounsaturated fats are considered an important part of a healthy diet.
Vitamins & Antioxidants:
If you are a Millennial or a Gen Zer you will be consuming your fair share of avocado on toast knowing the benefits it's providing your body but, did you know that AvoHaven avocado oil is also rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E? I's a much tastier way of getting your daily vitamin intake that taking a multi-vitamin each day. But it doesn't stop there. As well as being great for your digestive system, your waistline, your skin and even your hair, some studies have shown that avocado oil can be effective against damaging free radicals in our system that can cause major damage to our cells.
Great Taste:
One of the benefits of AvoHaven avocado oil is its great taste. With a delicate buttery taste, avocado oil can easily be used in place of butter or other oils such as olive oil, coconut oil or any vegetable oil giving your recipe a new and healthier flavour . Simply swap out the oil in your next recipe for the same quantity of avocado oil and taste the difference.
New Zealand at its very core:
New Zealand is known around the world for its clean image so, where better to create a clean green healthy oil than in the volcanic soils of Northland.
Grown in our own orchards, we start with the best Hass avocados, picked at the perfect level of ripeness, because the end result is only as good as the quality of the ingredients, and using the most advanced cold press extraction methods we are able to create a healthy oil that retains the benefits of eating the actual fruit. Its become our passion. Great taste runs in the family :)
