In addition to our premium Coconut Oil Supreme™ we are now pleased to offer Avocado Oil Supreme™. We decided to add this premium oil to our line of products since it meets a need which is not met by coconut oil, owing to its physical properties.

From a health standpoint, coconut oil is an excellent addition to the diet and a great substitute for less healthful oils. Although a suitable replacement for other fats and oils in most applications there are a few situations where it doesn’t fill the bill.

Although coconut oil is heat stable it doesn’t have a particularly high smoke point (generally listed as approximately 350°F). This limits its use for some types of frying simply because the oil temperature is too low.

Coconut oil is not well suited for lower temperature applications such as salad dressing and mayonnaise since it solidifies at about 74°F. My first attempt at a homemade mayonnaise using coconut oil resulted in a product which was good after it was first made, but after being refrigerated it was so hard that it was unusable until it warmed to room temperature.

In our search to find a healthy oil which would fill these gaps we discovered that avocado oil was ideal. Its fatty acid profile is very similar to olive oil in that it is a monounsaturated oil. It has two distinct advantages over olive oil for our intended uses. It has a very high smoke point, over 500°F, which makes it ideal for frying. When used for salad dressing it doesn’t interfere with the other flavors and also makes an excellent mayonnaise! Almost all commercial mayonnaise is made with soybean or canola oil. You can find mayonnaise made with olive oil but it doesn’t have the traditional flavor. It is so easy to make homemade mayonnaise and it is so good compared to the commercial variety that once you try it you will not want to use anything else.

Avocado oil is also used in many premium skin care and cosmetic preparations since it is very easily absorbed by the skin and transported deep into the tissue. Its excellent emollient and hydrating properties make it ideal for dry and mature skin and it is also reported to ease itching from psoriasis and eczema.

Until now, the major obstacle to using avocado oil has been its high cost but we are happy to report that we have found an excellent source for this premium oil and are now supplying it at a consumer friendly price.
