Our Oil
AVADO’s avocado oil is cold-pressed using two 10-tonne-per-hour production lines in our state-of-the-art facility in Kampala, Uganda.
-
Our extra virgin avocado oil (EVAO) is produced by cold-pressing hand-picked Hass avocados and other local varieties at low temperatures to retain all the flavours and nutrients of the avocado. Our unrefined EVAO is made without chemical additives, making it 100% natural.
-
As part of our commitment to low-waste practices, we use overripe avocados and employ them in our production of crude avocado oil. This inedible oil is cold-pressed and can be used in cosmetics or is further refined to produce oil suitable for consumption.
