Avocado Oil Cold Pressed Extra Virgin 250ml

Cold pressed extra virgin avocado oil from Omega Pressery — unrefined, unblended, and mechanically pressed at room temperature from 25+ perfectly ripe wonky avocados sourced directly from smallholder farms in the Mt Kenya region. The result is a vibrant emerald-green oil with a fresh, buttery avocado flavour and a naturally high smoke point of 240°C+.

This is the drizzling and dressing oil — the unprocessed version that retains the full colour, flavour, and nutritional profile of the avocado. 3-Star Great Taste Award winner.

Best for: salad dressings, drizzling over finished dishes, dips, marinades, hummus, avocado toast, carpaccio, and any application where the buttery avocado flavour should come through. Can also be used for low-heat cooking.

FAQs

What is the difference between cold pressed and light avocado oil?
Cold pressed (extra virgin) is unrefined — maximum flavour, aroma, and nutrition, with a vibrant green colour. Use it where the avocado flavour is a feature. Light avocado oil is refined and neutral — no colour, no avocado taste — designed for high-heat cooking where a clean, flavourless oil is preferred.

Why is it green?
The emerald-green colour comes from chlorophyll and carotenoids naturally present in ripe avocados — preserved by the cold pressing process. Refined avocado oil loses this colour during processing. Green = unrefined = more nutrition and flavour.

Where do the avocados come from?
Directly from smallholder farms in the Mt Kenya region, Kenya. Wonky surplus fruit — too cosmetically imperfect for conventional export but perfectly ripe and nutritious. Direct-trade partnership supports farming communities with fair, transparent pricing.

Is separation in the bottle normal?
Yes — because this is a pure, unrefined oil with no additives, the natural waxes can solidify slightly at cooler temperatures. This is a sign of purity. Give the bottle a light shake before use.
