SOILMATES Avocado Oil 500ml

SOILMATES Avocado Oil 500 ml – neutral-tasting cooking oil for everyday use

SOILMATES Avocado Oil is 100% avocado oil with no other ingredients added. It is made from avocados that are perfectly edible but do not make it to the shops because of bruises, ripeness or shape – in the trade they are known as second-class fruit. According to the manufacturer, around 30 such avocados go into one 500 ml bottle. This way, a raw material that would otherwise be wasted ends up in your kitchen. The oil has a neutral, almost imperceptible taste, so it does not mask the flavour of the food or make the dish taste of avocado. The manufacturer states a smoke point of up to 270 °C, which makes the oil suitable for frying, oven baking and grilling alike. The bottle contains 500 ml of oil.

Vitamin E

According to the nutrition information provided by the manufacturer, 100 g of SOILMATES Avocado Oil contains 45 mg of vitamin E, which is 375% NRV. Most of the fat consists of monounsaturated fatty acids (69.7 g per 100 g), with 18.6 g of saturated and 11.7 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Per 100 g, the oil contains 65 g of omega-9 and 10 g of omega-6 fatty acids.

• Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

How to use?

Use SOILMATES Avocado Oil like any cooking oil: for frying, braising, oven baking, grilling and for cakes or other bakes. Thanks to its high smoke point, it also suits dishes cooked at high heat, such as crispy oven potatoes or quickly fried vegetables. The oil makes a good base for marinades for meat, fish and vegetables, and it can be added to soup or drizzled over salad. The manufacturer also suggests using it on toast or in dips and dressings. Choose the amount according to the recipe; one tablespoon is about 15 ml.

How is the oil made?

Because the raw material is second-class avocados, the pressed crude oil contains natural impurities that have to be removed. That is why SOILMATES Avocado Oil is physically refined. According to the manufacturer, phospholipids and gums are first removed from the oil with hot water, then the oil is treated under vacuum with natural bleaching clay, which binds colour pigments and other impurities. Next, free fatty acids and compounds with unwanted odours and flavours are removed with steam at high temperature under vacuum. Finally, the oil is cooled and filtered before bottling. No chemical solvents or caustic soda are used. The result is a clear, odourless and neutral-tasting oil that keeps well. No other oils or additives are blended in. Storage conditions and the best-before date are given on the package.
