La Tourangelle Avocado Oil is handcrafted from premium avocados. Avocado oil is processed on equipment very similar to that used to process extra virgin olive oil. The avocado pulp is first expeller-pressed, usually using a centrifuge. It is then lightly filtered and "polished" using another centrifuge. It takes from 15–20 avocados to make 1 (one) 250 ml/8 ounce tin. The result is a beautiful, emerald green oil with a high level of monounsaturated fats that will bring a delicious, light fruity flavor to your dishes. La Tourangelle Avocado Oil, like La Tourangelle Olive and Hazelnut oil, contains oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help to lower cholesterol. La Tourangelle Avocado Oil is also an ideal partner for moisturizing your skin and hair. The skin absorbs it quickly without leaving residues. It's lightweight and easily absorbed into the hair and scalp to moisturize. La Tourangelle is one of the few remaining oil mills keeping a time-honored French heritage of roasting and pressing nut kernels into delicious oils.
