Bella Vado, Organic Extra Virgin Avocado Oil, 8.5 Fl Oz

Im a food psycho, I admit it. But this snuck up on me- avocado oil! I'd never ever heard about it before, and anything avocado has me at Hello:) At the $21 it cost me for this medium sized bottle, it didn't come cheap. But with a husband who is trying to avoid family heart problems, and me needing more QUALITY calories in my diet, this looked really promising!It arrived it good time, incredibly well packaged, and I opened it immediately. I was initially put off by the smell, but after a minute or two I had fallen in love with it! The thing that surprised me was how thick it was. I wasn't expecting it to be so rich in green color and thick like pancake syrup. But as soon as heat gets to it, it morphs into the most versatile oil I've ever used in my kitchen! Or in my bath! It's fantastic for skin and hair applications! Because this is first press/raw/pure awesomeness, it has a very heavy color and is brimming with vitamins and minerals. To me organic is important, and I love that its a product from right here in our USofA.As for taste, I thought it would make our food taste avocado-y, but it just imparts a unique flavor that compliments everything that touches it. Nutty, but really delicate & mild. Ive even put a tablespoon in green smoothies, in marinades & dressings, and on the grill. It is really incredible that you can fry with it and stir fry with it and not smoke up your kitchen too! I'll never be without this in my kitchen again.

After seeing a lot of people on cooking shows starting to use avocado oil more frequently, I decided to try it for myself. I also wanted an organic brand and this one fit the bill. The oil is dark green in color and has a mild yet unique taste – different than olive oil. I tried it stand-alone on salads and loved the flavor, which is a bit hard to describe but is sort of creamy and buttery in nature and leaves a good feel in your mouth. I recently used it for stir frying and it works amazingly well because it has a high smoke point, much higher than olive oil or the delicate nut oils. Avocado oil also has great health benefits and it has immediately found a permanent home in my cupboard along with my other healthy oils. The Bella Vado brand is excellent, although a little pricey, but I will definitely order more from this seller when I run low.

This oil is really nice. I've used it to saute veggies and fry eggs, and it adds a really nice, savory flavor. But, by far, the most awesome use I've found for it is in making my organic breads! It makes a great white, sandwich loaf, to be sure...but, when I added some onions and sun dried tomatoes, it blew me away! I mean, think of it!...GUAC bread...lol! It's also really good for making Italian-y breads, with Italian seasonings, garlic, onions, Parmesan, and so forth. It tastes great, and is insanely good for you, and can withstand high heat to boot...just perfect, as far as I'm concerned. It will definitely take it's place, along with the other "good for you" cooking fats, in my kitchen.

I used to love this product. However, from the most recent purchase, I think the product has changed. It doesn't have any avocado aroma after I opened the bottle and tried to smell it. I was very confused if this was the real avocado extra virgin oil or not. The one I purchased before had the avocado aroma but I think maybe some customers in the past complained that it smelled like rotten avocado, the seller perhaps changed something.

I bought this oil primarily to use as a face moisturizer believe it or not (thanks to Lupita's beauty secrets). I can feel it sink in and although my face smells like a vegetable at night when I do this (obviously...I'm putting straight up oil on), the result is worth it. My skin the next morning has a glow and is super soft for the remainder of the day. I feel like it really gets in my pores and evens out my skin tone. You can put coconut oil over top to make it smell better but you'll be rubbing it in for a very long time before you can comfortably lay down on your pillows. I've used this oil to make dressings also and found it to be excellent. I'm a huge fan of anything truly organic and I support farmers who don't use GMO's, etc. All of that being said, I was impressed that my order came with a sample of honey almond avocado lotion. That was a cute little surprise that lets me know they appreciate my business and care about their product. Love that!

I just received my second bottle of Bella Vada oil. The first bottle was wonderful. It was a very rich emerald green and had a great flavor. I found that I could use half of my regular amount of salad dressing. The second bottle is just awful. The oil is brown and tastes so bad, that I tossed out. The label says best used by 06/28/19.

This product arrived very quickly, only a couple of days after placing the order. It was well packaged and in excellent condition. I decided to try Bella Vado’s Avocado Oil because #1 the avocados are produced organically in the USA, picked when ripe, processed in nut-free, non-GMO facilities close to where they are harvested; #2 after extraction via cold-pressed methods, the unrefined, unfiltered oil is stored in dark green glass bottles (not plastic!), demonstrating a respect for its value and concern for sustaining its quality that I really appreciate as the consumer; #3 Bella Vado is a family operated business. Upon opening the bottle I was surprised by the rich, deep green avocado color of the oil that immediately suggested a level of quality far exceeding the other two avocado oils I have tried to date. I use avocado oil in lieu of commercially made skin products and altho the brand I was using claimed to be organic their information was scant. It turns out their product was inferior as well when compared to Bella Vado’s oil. I was searching for a vender and oil in which I could have maximum confidence. I also shared a sample of this oil with a friend who struggles with eczema and she has been both surprised and very pleased with the improvement in her skin using this oil. I am pleased to give Bella Vado’s Avocado Oil the highest possible recommendation.
