Kenyan avocado oil for the United States market

US food-service and cosmetic buyers use refined avocado oil for its high smoke point and neutral taste. We support FDA registration and Prior Notice for food-grade oil.

Avocado oil is extracted from the flesh (mesocarp) of mature avocados by mechanical cold-pressing (decanter centrifuge) without solvents. Kenyan processors near the central highlands work with tens of thousands of smallholder growers, making use of fruit that is not exported fresh.

Buyers we serve in United States: Cosmetic manufacturers, food processors, oil distributors and ingredient suppliers.
