"I have always been very passionate about the oils I use, as they are an integral ingredient in cooking. OLIVADO is a must for any kitchen. It's got a really clean taste that's rich and buttery."
Jamie Oliver, "The Naked Chef"
From the beautifully rich farmland of New Zealand comes what some consider a magical fruit — the avocado. Avocados from this region of the world are prized for their intense flavor and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. For the last few years, this "wonderfruit" has been made into what is arguably the world's most perfect edible oil. And now, New Zealand-based Olivado Gourmet Foods — a leader in the development and marketing of avocado oil around the world — is selling its award-winning extra virgin, cold-pressed OLIVADO AVOCADO OIL in the United States.
Professional chefs are drawn to OLIVADO AVOCADO OIL for its taste and versatility. And, while it does offer an exquisite flavor that complements (but does not overpower) all food, Olivado shines as a "good for you" food.
Use OLIVADO AVOCADO OIL to Eat Well and Live Healthfully:
- The average avocado contains between 13% and 22% oil, 75% of which is monounsaturated fat, the "good" fat that helps to reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream.
- A recent Ohio State University study labeled the avocado a "nutrient booster." Their research found that adding avocado oil to salads actually boosts the intake of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients (compared to eating salads with regular dressings or by themselves).
- Avocado oil contains twice the amount of lutein as olive oil. Lutein offers protection against macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
- Avocado oil contains the highest levels of alpha and beta carotene, which protect against heart disease.
Getting back to its use in the kitchen, rich, green OLIVADO AVOCADO OIL has a delicate flavor that enhances all foods. It is extremely versatile and perfect for any kitchen task. "We use only the finest quality ripe avocados, so our oil carries the rich, buttery taste people know and love," says Olivado Gourmet Foods Founder and CEO, Chris Nathan, who happens to be a trained chef. "Our oil is also more viscous than olive oil, which means it coats better and that the cook doesn't need to use as much."
With an astounding 500-degree smoke point (compared to the 374-degree smoke point of olive oil), OLIVADO AVOCADO OIL is ideal for high-temperature cooking. Olivado achieves this high smoke point through a unique stabilization process that removes both the skin and pit. In fact, they are the only company with this technology which guarantees great flavor and an impressive two-year shelf life.
In addition to their award-winning Avocado Oil, Olivado has developed an impressive variety of flavor-infused oils. The Lemon-Infused Oil has a fresh tang that goes well with fish and chicken dishes. The Rosemary-Infused Oil complements most all meat and tastes superb drizzled over potatoes, salads and pasta. The Basil-Infused Oil has a strong aroma and is excellent with meats, vegetables, and barbecue dishes, while the Chili and Bell Pepper-Infused Oil puts a zing into any cuisine.
"I feel that avocado oils are for people who enjoy good food," claims Nathan. "If you are just refueling your body like putting gas in your car, you are missing out on life." This natural product from Down Under will liven up any menu, and its heart-healthy compounds will take the guilt out of your favorite culinary pleasures.
