Avocado

The avocado tree is a tree that finds its native in the Americas as well as Africa. At that time, it was already prized and recognized for its large and unusually oily fruits. A mature tree can give 3 to 5 thousand kilograms of fruits on annual basis! Our Avocado sourcing takes place in Africa, where the trees belong to the local family. The tree does not need a lot of attention, as it is a native plant to the areas. Therefore, it is a genuinely nice source of income for the local communities to sell avocados. The peel of the avocado also protects the inside of the fruit very well, which makes it less interesting for animals to get the fruits.

Once the fruits are being harvested, the avocados are being cleaned and peeled for the virgin oil production. For the crude avocado oil production, the whole fruit is being used. This material usually is being refined before it is consumed. The yield of the oil is around 10%.

The oil is being used in diverse ways. First, virgin oil is a great alternative to olive oil, which makes it nice to use in te culinary kitchen. The refined material is also being used as a cooking and frying oil. Is cosmetics, it is also an extremely popular oil to use for massage and other cosmetic formulations.
