Cold pressing refers to a method of oil extraction where avocados are mechanically pressed without using heat or chemicals. This process retains more natural nutrients, flavors, and colors, ensuring the highest quality of oil.
Yes, you can use our extra virgin avocado oil for a variety of culinary applications including salads, dressings, dips, and sautéing. For more intense cooking methods like baking, broiling, and frying, we recommend our Organic Cooking Avocado Oil.
The main difference lies in the quality of the avocados used. Extra Virgin Avocado Oil is extracted from specially selected high-quality organic avocados, while Virgin Avocado Oil is made from a mix of different organic avocado varieties. Both oils are cold-pressed to preserve their natural properties.

At AEVO, our dedication to sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We take pride in our environmentally conscious approach, from sourcing to production. Our avocados, the heart of our products, are not only chosen for their internal quality but also for their sustainable cultivation practices. We prioritize packaging our products in glass, a material renowned for its recyclability and eco-friendliness.
Our operations are a testament to our green philosophy. AEVO runs on 100% renewable energy, and our production process adheres to a zero-waste policy. By utilizing high-quality avocados that are unsuitable for retail sale due to their external appearance, we support local farmers and reduce food waste, all while ensuring the premium quality of our Extra Virgin Avocado Oil.
Glass recycling is a crucial part of our eco-friendly mission. Glass is unique in its ability to be recycled endlessly without degrading its quality, making it a superior choice for sustainable packaging. Here’s how you can join us in this endeavor:
1. Separation and Cleaning: - Start by separating your glass items from other recyclables. Ensure that glass bottles and jars are free of any residues by rinsing them briefly.
2. Understanding Local Guidelines: - Different regions have varying regulations for glass recycling. Check your local guidelines to see whether curbside collection is available or if you need to take your glass to a recycling center.
3. Removing Non-Glass Components: - Before recycling, remove any non-glass elements like caps and lids, as these are processed differently.
4. Using Collection Bins: - Take advantage of community-provided glass recycling bins, whether they're part of a curbside program or located at specific drop-off points.
5. Embracing Up cycling: - Consider repurposing glass containers. They can be transformed into creative and useful items like storage jars, decorative vases, or candle holders, contributing to waste reduction and adding a personal touch to your home.
By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you are playing a vital role in resource conservation and waste reduction. Together, through these small but significant steps, we can make a substantial impact on our journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.
AEVO has emerged as a popular choice for health-conscious consumers worldwide, celebrated for its versatility and potential health benefits. Gaining insight into the production process of AEVO can heighten your confidence in its quality, offering a clearer understanding of what you consume. Join us as we delve into the meticulous process of crafting 100% pure, naturally refined AEVO.
Our journey begins with the selection of avocados, sourced from esteemed farmers and cooperatives globally, particularly in Ethiopia, where conditions are ideal for avocado cultivation. Each avocado is handpicked, evaluated for its ripeness, color, and quality, ensuring only the finest are used.
A common query we encounter is the number of avocados required to produce AEVO. This can vary based on the maturity of the avocados and the extraction methodology. On average, approximately 15 to 22 avocados are needed to produce a 500ml bottle of AEVO.
At our state-of-the-art extraction facilities, avocados undergo rigorous sorting and inspection. The fruit is segregated into pulp, seeds, and skins. The pulp is then processed through a multistage extraction procedure, meticulously separating the oil from the solids. This oil is further filtered, ensuring purity before bottling. The remaining seeds and skins are channeled to our Bio-Compost factory, embodying our commitment to sustainability.
The choice between extra virgin and refined AEVO depends on personal preference and culinary needs.
Extra virgin avocado oil is less processed, retaining a robust flavor profile and a wealth of nutrients from the fruit. It is ideal for cold dishes or light cooking, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.
Refined AEVO, while still rich in beneficial fats, boasts a neutral taste and a higher smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods, including high-heat applications. It has a longer shelf life but a slightly reduced nutrient profile compared to its extra virgin counterpart.
Regardless of type, AEVO offers substantial benefits. We prioritize natural extraction methods, avoiding harsh chemicals or solvents that could diminish the oil's nutritional value or pose health risks.
A standout feature of AEVO is its high smoke point, reaching approximately 500°F. This property makes it an excellent choice for high-heat cooking, allowing it to retain its nutritional integrity without producing harmful smoke. Whether you're frying, sautéing, or baking, AEVO ensures a healthful and flavorful culinary experience.
