Avocado Oil New Zealand Ltd. are pioneers in the production of quality, cold-pressed avocado oil. Our history of excellence stems back over 14 years, when a passionate group of orchardists harnessed the benefits of the world's finest oil-producing avocados grown in the unique microclimate of the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
New Zealand, with its fertile volcanic soil and non-GMO status provides an ideal environment for growing the world's most nutritionally complete fruit, the avocado.
Grove Avocado Oil
Grove Avocado Oils are 100% pure and natural. They are highly nutritious and retain essential vitamins and nutrients. Our avocado oils are naturally cholesterol free; they have a high percentage of mono-unsaturated fats (72%), also known as the 'good fats' that help lower cholesterol.
We use 100% Hass Avocados, sourced locally and sun-ripened to perfection, before the skins and stones are removed. The avocado flesh is then delicately cold pressed in a single extra virgin process, retaining all essential nutrients. The resulting delectable, vibrant green oil is then poured into dark bottles designed to preserve the oil's freshness and flavour.
With a significantly high smoke point (250C or 480F) Grove Avocado Oils remain stable during high temperature cooking methods such as stir frying, roasting, pan frying and barbequing (Wong, et al, 2009). It can also be utilised as an appetizing and nutritious dressing for salads.
We offer an Extra Virgin avocado oil, an organic Extra Virgin and a variety of flavour infused avocado oils. The oils are available in retail bottles, food service jerry cans and bulk drums and IBC's. We also contract manufacturer and privately label avocado and other oils. We currently export Grove to over 20 countries worldwide.
AvoPure Avocado Powder
Our new and uniquely innovative 100% pure avocado Powder is produced from New Zealand grown Hass avocados. The powder is concentrated and has not lost any of the key benefits, minerals and vitamins of an avocado.
We offer two varieties of AvoPure Avocado Powder available, one has been Spray Dried while the other is Freeze Dried.
The main differences between the two avocado powder products are as follows:
The volume; Spray Dried AvoPure has been milled finely and takes up approximately twice the space of Freeze Dried AvoPure.
The colour; Freeze Dried AvoPure has a light green appearance while Spray Dried AvoPure has a mustard green colour.
AvoPure avocado powder cannot be reconstituted as a whole avocado fruit as 80% of the oil has been removed; this causes AvoPure to have practical shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. At no stage do we add preservatives, solvents or any fillers.
Highly versatile, AvoPure avocado powder enhances existing products, delivers market differentiation and provides a unique and natural foundation for manufacturers to develop new products. It is an ideal ingredient for the nutraceutical, nutri-cosmetic and health food industries.
KiwiPure Kiwifruit Puree
Our 100% pure KiwiPure Kiwifruit Puree is made from the new strain of kiwifruit developed in New Zealand, SunGold. With an attractive yellow flesh and a unique tropical flavour, SunGold incorporates the sweetness of gold kiwifruit with a touch of zing from the green variety.
Using a new technically advanced separation process the skin and 99% of the seeds are removed from the fruit. We then pasteurise the puree to ensure the microbiological quality. This produces a smooth puree which retains the natural flavour and taste characteristics of fresh SunGold kiwifruit.
The nutritional content of the fresh SunGold kiwifruit is also retained; Kiwifruit is one of the most nutrient dense fruits and is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and plant phytochemicals, particularly carotenoids. As an additive free, natural ingredient, it has numerous applications such as beverages, health foods and nutraceuticals.
