The journey of producing extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil is a meticulous process that begins on the farm and ends with the oil being carefully bottled and preserved. This journey ensures that every bottle of our avocado oil maintains the highest quality and purity. In this blog, we’ll take you through each step of this journey, from sustainable farming practices to the final packaging, highlighting the care and precision involved in bringing this premium oil to your kitchen.
Farming
The journey of our extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil starts with sustainable farming practices in the lush, fertile lands of Kenya. Here’s how we ensure the best avocados for our oil:
- Sustainable Farming Practices: We partner with local farmers who employ sustainable farming methods. This includes organic farming practices that avoid harmful pesticides and chemicals, crop rotation to maintain soil health, and water conservation techniques to preserve this vital resource.
- Avocado Sourcing: Only the finest avocados are selected for our oil. These avocados are handpicked at the peak of ripeness to ensure they are bursting with nutrients and flavor. Our commitment to quality begins at the source, with rigorous standards for selecting the best fruit.
Extraction
Once the avocados are harvested, the next step is to extract the oil. Our extraction process is designed to preserve the natural goodness of the avocados:
- Pitting and Peeling: The avocados are carefully pitted and peeled to remove the seeds and skins, leaving only the creamy flesh, which is rich in healthy fats and nutrients.
- Grinding: The avocado flesh is then ground into a smooth paste. This process helps break down the cell walls and release the oil contained within the fruit.
- Cold-Pressing: The ground avocado paste is subjected to a hydraulic press that applies gentle pressure to extract the oil. This cold-pressing method ensures that no heat is used during extraction, preserving the oil’s natural color, flavor, and nutritional value.
- Purity and Quality: Each bottle of our extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil is made from 72 avocados. We pride ourselves on producing pure oil without any additives, processing, or refinement. This means you get the full, unadulterated benefits of avocados in every drop.
Packaging
After extraction, the oil undergoes careful packaging to maintain its quality and freshness:
- Bulk Import: The oil is imported from Kenya in bulk quantities. This allows us to oversee the entire process from farm to shipment, ensuring that the oil remains untouched and pure.
- Quality Control in India: Once the bulk oil arrives in India, it undergoes strict quality control measures. This includes testing for purity, nutrient content, and taste to ensure it meets our high standards.
- Bottling: The oil is then bottled in our state-of-the-art facility in India. We use food-grade, BPA-free bottles to preserve the oil’s quality. Each bottle is sealed to lock in freshness and prevent oxidation, ensuring that you receive the best product possible.
ConclusionThe journey of an avocado from farm to bottle is a testament to the care and dedication we put into producing our extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil. From sustainable farming practices and meticulous sourcing to careful extraction and rigorous quality control, every step is designed to deliver a product that is pure, nutritious, and delicious.
