Quality & process
Sorted by hand. Pressed once. Nothing added.
Good avocado oil starts with good fruit. Every avocado that reaches our press in Thika has been ripened in-house and checked by hand.
Our process
Five steps from farm to drum.
-
1Sourcing
We buy avocados from a network of smallholder farmers across Kenya. Our supply terms ask farmers not to use pesticides or fertilisers on their trees, and we advise them on tree care through the year.
-
2Ripening
Fruit arrives firm and is ripened in-house, so each avocado is pressed when it is ready rather than when it happens to arrive.
-
3Hand sorting
Our team checks each avocado by hand. Ripe fruit goes to extra virgin oil. Overripe fruit goes to crude oil, so nothing is wasted and no poor fruit reaches the extra virgin line.
-
4Cold pressing
Extra virgin and crude oil are each extracted in a single cold-press run at low temperature, on machinery imported from Europe. No solvents, chemicals or additives are used.
-
5Packing in season
Oil is packed during the April to October season. We do not store oil from one season to the next, so customers receive oil from the current pressing.
What we promise

- Only Kenyan avocados, ripened and sorted at our own factory.
- Extra virgin oil from ripe fruit only, in a single cold-press extraction.
