 Contains Chlorophyll for Hair & SkinOct 21, 2011
By E. Zamis
I'm sure this is great for cooking but I have purchased because it is great alone or mixed w/olive or coconut oils for my hair. I am African American w/relaxed hair and the chlorophyll in the avocado oil stimulates healthy skin, scalp and hair. Oil is not to heavy for 4a/b type hair. I would recommend looking up the benefits of avocado oil & chlorophyll for your hair & skin if that is of special interest. This is the first brand of avocado oil I've found that has a concentrated level of chlorophyll as most oils are refined for cooking purposes.

I adore it but I'm pretty sure it has some olive oil mixed inFeb 22, 2012
By Chandler
First of all, this will change how you cook if you are anything like me. I have no idea why I didn't hop on this avocado oil train long ago but I just discovered it at Whole Foods. This takes salads and meals to a whole other taste level.
I try to have a monounsaturated fat at every meal due to the health benefits and the scores of studies as well as personal experience showing they assist in weight loss when combined with a regular proper calorie diet. (These are the good fats) so I include lots of avocados and olive oil in my diet naturally....I'll make salads, pastas, hummus, tapanades for sandwiches, combine beans and corn with avocados etc, make a california veggie burger cooked in olive oil and topped with avocados, red peppers, etc in a pita...so replacing my olive oil with avocado oil has brought on wonderful new flavors.
That said, with culinary training under my belt, I'm exceptional at picking out individual flavors in foods and I taste olive oil as a component here as well. This is made by olivado which I'm assuming is likely an olive oil company by the name so it could simply be they are using the same presses to press out the avocados. It isn't something that bothers me as I love olive oil, but it gives the avocado flavor a milder taste so I'm anxious to try some other brands as well.
I personally feel this is an oil everyone should have on hand. The flavor is a whole new depth when using oil that is unique and unexpected and I'll always have some, no matter what brand, in my own cabinet. I find myself reaching for this to replace other oils in recipes very often.

 Not the taste of HassJan 18, 2012
By Orlando
I want to return my recent purchase of Olivado Avocado oil. The oil is not at all like the seller/manufacturer had described it to be. Doesn't smell or tastes like Hass avocados. Hardly. Tastes more like cooked leafy greens. I am beginning to believe that buying avocado oil online is probably not the best way to go. This is the second brand of avocado oil (also tried San Pietro Chilean Organic avocado oil) I've purchased and both have been horrible. Maybe manufacturers of these oils should be more honest in describing the tastes of these oils so that the consumer would know what to expect. If they say it should taste mild and buttery than that's what one expects. Not citrus-like or herbaceous like described by others consumers. Also, I've read that avocado oil can go rancid despite the date on the bottle. That if it smells and tastes odd then probably it's rancid or on its way there. I've come across lots of oils in my lifetime and never the tought of it being rancid has ever entered my mind. Probably because I've never really come across any until now. Maybe avocado oil is a far to delicate of an oil that needs to be stored and handled in a special manner which too many sellers don't know how to. Anyway, I think I would give some other oil a try.
Note: This is a follow up to my review. I wouldn't do business with this company ever again. Besides selling me a bad product, they make me responsible for shipping costs. So that means that instead of the $21.97 reimbursement, I will only be credited $11.99 and they would not do so unless I ship them back the product which I had to pay $5. to get it back to them. "Natural Zing you ripped me off". I am out $15. and am very upset.
Sincerely,
