Cold-Pressed Virgin Avocado Oil.
THE AVO KEEPER
One bottle. Endless refills. Enhance your cooking and the planet.
Meet Your New Favourite Healthy Oil
Naturally creamy, wonderfully versatile and full of goodness. There's a lot to love about avocado oil.
Virgin, cold-pressed from New Zealand-grown avocados, The Avo Keeper is naturally rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, with vitamin E adding to its nutritional appeal.
Its smooth, buttery flavour makes it delicious on its own - drizzled over vegetables, whisked into dressings or enjoyed with fresh bread. And when the heat goes up, its mild flavour and high smoke point make it a natural choice for sautéing, roasting and baking.
Why Avo Oil?
-
Heart-Healthy Fats
Monounsaturated fats support a healthy heart, this has strong research and the right fats are necessary to carry important nutrients around the body. Find out more
-
Creamy flavour
Smooth, subtle and naturally buttery -bringing ingredients together without overpowering their flavours. In fact, we had some experts describe the profile here
-
High Smoke point
Made for the heat of everyday cooking - from sautéing and roasting to a hot pan. The slightly higher monounsaturated fat profile supports this - find out more
-
Emulsification
A salad without dressing feels incomplete - Avocado oil emulsifies into a thicker dressing, whether you are mixing a classic vinaigrette or creating a silky, flavourful mayonnaise that’s as nourishing as it is delicious and includes a creamy mouthfeel
Avocado oil or olive oil? There's room for both.
We love good olive oil too. Both offer naturally occurring monounsaturated fats, but their flavours and cooking characteristics make them useful in different ways.
Here's where avocado oil might become your new kitchen favourite
-
Using only the flesh, our virgin pressed avocado oil is extracted at low temperatures, using slow malaxing, then separating the solids via high-speed centrifuges.
-
Like extra virgin olive oil, virgin avocado oil is naturally rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which supports healthy cholesterol levels when replacing saturated fats.
Avocado oil has its own nutritional strengths, including naturally occurring vitamin E, plant sterols such as beta-sitosterol, and carotenoids including lutein. It also typically contains more omega-7 fatty acids.
Alongside these are carotenoids, including lutein, a pigment important for eye health, and omega-7 fatty acids being studied for their potential metabolic benefits. More detail here
-
Chlorophylls give virgin avocado oil its beautiful natural green colour and have potential antioxidant properties, although their health benefits are not yet fully established. Because chlorophylls are sensitive to light and can accelerate oxidation, our amber glass bottles help protect the oil, preserving its natural colour, freshness and quality..

Sensory analysis shows quite a different profile to olive oil and this is why we shouldn’t compare it. Each has its place and use in the culinary world, depending on what you are doing and what flavours you want to blend. I would describe it as buttery and creamy, some wine friends did an analysis, here is what they say
Where it began
When you nurture fruit, from pollination, weather, nutrition and bugs - just like your children, you love them all.
Layer that with an ethos that can't bear to see food waste, The Avo Keeper was born. Our orchard is where we have played and designed and then set ourselves to task on the most important things. We’ve tried to stay true to our mantra and values; one of them is a love of connecting people through food, all the while ensuring we eat good food.
None of it is easy - so instead of letting imperfect or surplus avocados go to waste, we rescue them and cold-press them into rich, nutrient-packed oil. Our refill system means fewer single-use bottles and less plastic in the world - without compromising on quality.
Every purchase supports local growers, reduces food waste, and keeps your kitchen stocked with an oil that’s as good for the planet as it is for your cooking.
