The fruit is peeled, stoned, sliced, and then dehydrated in an atmosphere devoid of oxygen at a temp of approximately 130 degrees C. to evaporate off any moisture which can be problematic to the emulsification. The pulp is then ground, cold-pressed, and filtered to remove impurities.

Avocado Oil benefits come from the fruit being so rich in linoleic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid. It also contains beta-sitosterol, beta carotene, lecithin, Vitamins A, B1, B2, and D. It has a rich mineral content including generous amounts of iodine

It has excellent keeping skills, but should not be put in a refrigerator. It can become cloudy, form deposits, or even solidify if it gets cold, but these disappear when the oil reliquifies at room temperature.
