Our refined organic avocado oil is produced in collaboration with local partners and cooperatives that source their fruit from African avocado plantations. The pear-shaped fruits are harvested unripe and ripen on the way to processing. After the avocados have been cleaned and crushed, water is added to them in the Malaxer to produce a uniform mass, the pulp, which is then separated into oil, water and solids in a decanter. After a clarification and refining process and multiple filtering, the organic avocado oil achieves its high purity and quality.
Sustainable agricultural practices are used to grow the avocados, such as mechanical weed control without herbicides, the avoidance of synthetic pesticides, the use of organic fertilizers, humus management to improve soil fertility and the cultivation of non-genetically modified plants. These methods guarantee a closed nutrient cycle and an ecologically balanced system. Press cake is used as a natural fertilizer and for environmentally friendly pest control. Formerly used to provide shade for organic coffee plants, the avocado trees improved soil quality and helped to avoid monocultures, but were rarely sold locally. Today, our collaboration with cooperatives gives farmers access to the world market, increases their income and creates additional value and jobs through the locally necessary processing of the sensitive fruit.
