According to the promotional materials avocado oil is accused of having the highest level of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats in comparison to other oils; and high levels of alpha and beta-carotene, which protect against heart disease and cancer.
It has vitamins and minerals and a generous dose of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant; twice the amount of lutein as olive oil, which protects against macular degeneration and blindness; valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower blood cholesterol; ounce-per-ounce, it is said to rank highest in monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, folate, potassium, magnesium, lutein, Beta-Sitosterol, and glutathione.
It is made in New Zealand and available in Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States. That all sounded good. What we wanted to know was, did it taste good?
We tried cold pressed Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil by itself with a bite of French bread, in salads blending it with balsamic vinegar and with baked fish and baked herbed potatoes. It is light with a distinctive herbal flavor. Delicious!
