Avocado oil is amazing! It’s so incredibly versatile – not only is it good for you, it’s also suitable to use for a range of cooking methods from frying to roasting, braaing to drizzling, dipping and even baking. The Westfalia range of avocado oils includes a plain avocado oil, as well as delicious flavoured oils, including butter, lemon and garlic. Read on and we’ll show you how to cook and bake with avocado oil. 

Health Benefits of Avocado Oil

Avocado oil contains monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (oleic acid ), which is known to have several positive effects that contribute to overall health, such as lowering blood pressure, protecting cells from free radicals and improving brain function.

Avocado oil is also a source of omega-3 fatty acids and it contains healthy, plant-based unsaturated oil components that provide an efficient source of energy.

It is also naturally cholesterol-free, vegan-friendly and has earned the South African Heart and Stroke Foundation’s mark of approval.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies with Cream Cheese Icing

Featuring: Westfalia Lemon Flavoured Avocado Oil

Teatime is probably our favourite time of day and there should be no such thing as tea without cookies. These Lemon Crinkle Cookies are so pretty and we love that they take that shape and look all on their own. You can opt to leave off the cream cheese icing if you are short on time but it adds such a lovely dimension that it’s really worth making. Westfalia Lemon Flavoured Avocado Oil adds a subtle citrus flavour that complements the cream cheese icing beautifully.
