A premium oil from the fruit, not the seed
Bulk avocado oil is pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit, like olive oil, rather than from a seed. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid, and refined avocado oil has a light color, a clean taste and one of the highest smoke points of any cooking oil, which has made it a favorite of better-for-you food brands, chefs and retailers. Extra virgin avocado oil keeps the fruit’s green color and buttery, grassy flavor for dressings and finishing.
Our avocado oil is processed and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported avocados, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.
Why purity testing matters for avocado oil
Avocado oil has a quality problem. A 2023 study by researchers at UC Davis found that of 36 private-label avocado oils sold in the US and Canada, only 31% were pure and only 36% met quality standards; many were rancid or mixed with cheaper oils, most often high-oleic sunflower or safflower oil. Until recently there was no international standard to measure against. In November 2024 the Codex Alimentarius Commission agreed to add avocado oil to its Standard for Named Vegetable Oils, giving buyers a recognized benchmark.
Every lot of our avocado oil is tested for its fatty acid profile, which reveals blending with other oils, and for free fatty acids and peroxide value, which reveal age and rancidity. The results are on the Certificate of Analysis supplied with your order.

Sourcing
From avocado orchards to finished oil
Our avocado oil is processed and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported avocados. Oil is made mainly from ripe fruit that is not sold fresh because of its size or appearance, so nothing from the harvest is wasted.
The fruit is pulped and the oil separated by centrifuge. Extra virgin oil is filtered only; refined oil is also refined for a neutral taste. Every lot is tested for purity and freshness before packing.
Processing
How we make avocado oil
Ripening and washing
Ripe avocados are washed, and the skin and seed are removed.
Malaxing
The flesh is crushed into a paste and gently mixed to release the oil.
Separation
Oil is separated from water and solids by centrifuge.
Filtering
Extra virgin oil is filtered and stored away from light.
Refining (refined grade)
Refining removes color, flavor and free fatty acids for a neutral, high-smoke-point oil.
Testing and packing
Each lot is tested for fatty acid profile, free fatty acids and peroxide value, then packed.
Storage & handling
Keeping avocado oil fresh
Temperature
Store between 10 and 25 °C (50–77 °F), away from heat sources.
Light and air
Keep containers sealed and away from light. Light and oxygen are the main causes of rancidity, especially in virgin oils.
Shelf life
Up to 24 months unopened for refined oil stored at 18–24 °C (65–75 °F). Extra virgin oil is best used within a year.
Once opened
Keep containers sealed and use extra virgin oil within a few months for the best flavor.

FAQ
Avocado Oil questions
What is the minimum order?
1,000 liters (about 264 US gallons) per quote, across any combination of oils, grades and pack sizes. For example, one 1,000L IBC tote, five 200L drums, or 50 cases of 4 × 5L bottles.
How do I know your avocado oil is pure?
Every lot is tested for its fatty acid profile, which reveals blending with cheaper oils, and for free fatty acids and peroxide value, which reveal age and rancidity. The results are on the Certificate of Analysis supplied with your order.
What is the difference between refined and extra virgin avocado oil?
Refined avocado oil is light yellow, neutral in taste and suited to high-heat cooking. Extra virgin avocado oil is green with a buttery avocado flavor and is best for dressings, finishing and moderate heat.
Is there an international standard for avocado oil?
Yes. In November 2024 the Codex Alimentarius Commission agreed to add avocado oil to its Standard for Named Vegetable Oils, giving buyers a recognized benchmark for quality and purity.
Why is avocado oil more expensive than other oils?
Avocados yield less oil per ton than oilseeds, and the fruit is a valuable crop in its own right, so avocado oil costs more to produce than seed oils.
How is the price set?
Each grade is priced separately, based on the crop, grade, pack size, total volume and delivery destination. Your quotation shows the price, any freight and other charges, the shipping terms and route, and an estimated arrival date.
