Avocado oil organic is the fatty oil obtained from the pulp of Persea americana Miller (Lauraceae) by pressing or by other suitable mechanical processes.
Yellow to dark green, oil with typical odor and taste. Insoluble in water and ethanol (96%), soluble in lipophilic solvents. Naturally occurring components may cause a slight turbidity or sediment.
For our high quality avocado oil raw organic we work with various local partners or cooperatives. In the past, avocado trees were mainly grown by small organic coffee farmers between the coffee plants for shade. The avocado fruits were difficult to sell on the local market and were often not even harvested. By working with local cooperatives, the small farmer now has access to the international market and can increase his income with avocados. Since the avocado fruit is a delicate fruit, it can only be processed locally, creating further value and jobs locally.
Cosmetics
For our avocado oil raw organic we use only avocados, which are grown by small farmers and now offer them an additional source of income. A cultivation on large plantations with monocultures does not take place, but the avocado tree is grown in symbiosis with organic coffee. Local processing ensures local added value and local jobs.
