Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil has become one of the hottest new oils to hit the market in the last ten years, thanks in large part to its well publicized health benefits. Avocado Oil is now more popular on igourmet.com than French classics like walnut oil and almond oil. Olivado's popularity has been boosted by endorsements by a number of celebrity chefs, most notably English chef/author/television host Jamie Oliver. Besides its health benefits, what makes Olivado Avocado Oil so attractive to so many chefs and home cooks is the extremely buttery texture Avocado Oil brings, along with a rich flavor and versatile cooking ability.
Cooking with Avocado Oil: Avocado Oil has received a great deal of attention for having the highest smoke point of any natural oil. The smoke point is the degree to which you can heat an oil before it burns (and then starts smoking). Butter has a smoke point of 350° F and Extra Virgin Olive Oil smokes at 375° F, but Avocado Oil can go beyond 500° F. This makes Avocado Oil well suited to high temperature cooking, such as stir-frying, sautéing, or searing. For connoisseurs on a budget, Avocado Oil is a great investment because it can be used as both a cooking oil and a finishing oil in one bottle.
Cold Pressed: Our Cold-Pressed Avocado Oil comes from New Zealand and is made by Olivado. Using cold-pressing techniques, meaning that the avocado pulp is not heated during its pressing, the oil retains all of its natural flavor and nutritional benefits. Cold-pressing also dictates that no oil is extracted from the pit or skin.
