Olivado
NEW ZEALAND
Since launching in 2000, the Olivado journey has gone from humble beginnings in a small New Zealand town to having our oils enjoyed by thousands of budding chefs around the world.
"The pioneers of the cold-pressed extraction method for extra virgin avocado oil, resulting in the healthiest, tastiest, and purest oil on the market."
Where it all began...
At the top of New Zealand’s North Island, nestled in the stunning Bay of Islands, lies the small town of Kerikeri.
It was here that a remarkable team of people got together to perfect the process of extracting oil from avocados.
This was the beginning of an endeavor that would revolutionize the industry.
Where it all began...
It wasn’t long before it became apparent that the avocado supply in New Zealand was insufficient to keep up with the growing international demand for our extra virgin avocado oil.
After a long search, we found the Central Highlands of Kenya perfect for growing avocados, and set about working with the local farmers to start a production plant managed and staffed by Kenyans.
The perfect place to grow...
