The avocado tree:

The avocado tree is a 4 to 20 m high tree with a trunk about 60 cm thick. The bark is relatively thin, smooth and ash gray. The tree has green leaves all year long and yellow flowers with a size of 5 to 8 mm. The fruit is fist-sized, oval to pear-shaped and is up to 18 cm long. The fruit is a berry with a dark green to a brownish-green peel and a buttery pulp. The seed is roundish, conical and accounts for 8 to 12% of the weight of the fruit. Mainly avocado is cultivated in the tropical and subtropical climate, especially in America and Asia. The avocado fruits sold in Europe are mainly from Israel, South Africa or Spain.

How avocado oil refined is produced:

Avocado oil refined is obtained by cold pressing the whole fruit (including the core and skin) and subsequent filtration.

The refining process consists of the steps degumming, neutralization (only if the acid number is >4), bleaching (if the color values require it), deodorization (about 1.5h at 210°C.). The final stage of the refining process is thus the deodorizing, which is why the declaration of the avocado oil refined as "deodorized" would also be permissible and true. That is why we can provide our avocado oil with the attribute R = refined.

We have investigated many batches of avocado oil refined  and have unfortunately found out that avocado oil refined often does not meet the "guiding principles for food oils" in Germany. We therefore offer it for your safety and the safety of the consumer with the clear indication NON FOOD.
