Melrose Organic Avocado Oil

Melrose Organic Avocado Oil is cold pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit grown in central Queensland. This oil is rich in Vitamins, A, B & D and lecithin. Melrose Organic Avocado Oil is very similar to Olive Oil, which is a basis of the healthy Mediterranean diet. The key similarity being that Avocado oil is very rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and extremely low in saturated fat. It also contains no cholesterol.

Release your inner master chef with Melrose Kitchen Oils - your best guarantee of freshness, purity and quality. The importance of the essential fatty acids in vegetable oil demands nothing less. Melrose Fresh Unrefined Oils will impart extra aroma and flavor as well as nutritional benefits, just like any other whole food which has not been denatured or processed.

Good quality oils need to be expeller-pressed at temperatures below 45^oC and not solvent extracted. They should not be subjected to high heat temperatures, deodorizing, bleaching or alkali refining. Melrose Organic Unrefined oils are produced by pressing seeds or fruit at less than 40^oC. The oil is then bottled under nitrogen and packed in amber containers to reduce both photon and auto-oxidation preserving both the nutritional value and the fresh taste.

Hints and Tips:

What is the best way to use Melrose Organic Avocado Oil?

Possessing a mild nutty flavour, Avocado oil is a tasty and healthy choice when used as a base for salad dressings and oil marinades. Avocado oil must never be heated as bitter flavours will develop.

Cold Pressed Avocado Oil readily penetrates the skin and its extremely high vitamin and mineral content nourish dry climate-abused or ageing skin. To nourish the skin, massage a portion of avocado oil into the skin using a warm face cloth to remove excess oil.
