The demand for avocado oil has grown substantially over the past few years and with good reason! Avocado oil is healthy, versatile and a perfect substitute for any other cooking oil as we show you in these avocado oil recipes.

Avocado oil is suitable to use for a range of cooking methods and other uses, from frying, roasting and braaing to drizzling, dipping and even baking.

Westfalia’s range of Avocado Oils is your key to unlocking the goodness. Their Plain Avocado Oil has a wonderful neutral flavour, without the taste of a fresh avo as many may think. The range also includes delicious flavoured oils that add complexity and flavour to any dish including butter, lemon and garlic.

Health Benefits of Avocado Oil

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

It 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 and has earned the South African Heart Foundation’s mark of approval. The Heart Mark is a guideline and incentive for shoppers to identify healthy products on the shelf. These products are naturally lower in cholesterol, lower in saturated fat, lower in sodium, higher in fibre (where applicable) and lower in added sugar. The Heart Mark confirms two things: stringent nutritional standards; and independent testing by a reputable laboratory. Westfalia Avocado Oils are also certified Kosher (Parev) and Halaal.
