Avocado Oil Light 250ml/500ml

Light avocado oil from Omega Pressery — gently refined from wonky surplus avocados sourced directly from smallholder farms in the Mt Kenya region. Refined to produce a clean, golden, neutral-flavoured oil that performs at high heat without influencing the taste of your food. The everyday cooking oil built for frying, roasting, and sautéing.

Available in 250ml and 500ml. The 500ml is the best-value option for everyday use.

Best for: frying, roasting, sautéing, stir-frying, air-frying, grilling, baking, and all high-heat cooking. Because it has no dominant flavour, it lets the ingredients shine rather than adding an avocado note to the dish.

Why avocado oil over seed oils? Most seed oils (sunflower, rapeseed, vegetable) smoke below 200°C — yet we typically cook above this. Above their smoke point, these oils break down into potentially harmful compounds. Avocado oil's 240°C+ smoke point means it stays stable, retains its nutritional value, and doesn't create off-flavours in your food.

Key nutrition per 15ml serving: High in monounsaturated fats (oleic acid), rich in Vitamin E, lutein, and Omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids. The refining process removes colour and flavour but preserves the beneficial fatty acid profile.

Sourcing: Wonky surplus avocados from smallholder farms in Kenya. Direct-trade partnership. Zero chemicals used in pressing.

Ingredients: 100% Refined Avocado Oil. Store in a cool, dark place at room temperature. Shelf life: 18 months from manufacture.

FAQs

What does "light" mean?
Light refers to the flavour profile, not the calorie or fat content. Light avocado oil has been gently refined to remove the strong green colour and buttery avocado flavour, producing a clean, neutral oil. The fat content and smoke point are essentially the same as cold pressed — the difference is purely sensory.

Can I use this for cold applications too?
Yes — it works in dressings and marinades. However, if you want the distinctive buttery avocado flavour in your dressing, the Cold Pressed Extra Virgin is the better choice. Use Light when you want a neutral base that doesn't influence flavour.

Why choose 500ml over 250ml?
Better value per ml and ideal if you use avocado oil as your primary everyday cooking oil. The 250ml is better for occasional use or to try before committing to the larger size.

Where do the avocados come from?
Directly from smallholder farms in the Mt Kenya region, Kenya — wonky surplus fruit pressed without chemicals into a clean, high-performance cooking oil.
