How To Produce Cold Pressed Avocado Oil At Home

Salam & hi to all,

to avocado oil lovers who have avo tress at home and want to extract 100% pure, uncooked avocado oil..

you are going to need :-

4 ripe avocados. some were still good and some, as you can see were half rotten

2 spoons or a pair of chopsticks if you have!

a plate (made of alloy, or steel)

or you can use a stainless steel tray (i got this recently)

small cloth, cotton or polyester

THE PROCESS

(if you dont have a blender/mixer)
take out the seed/stone and put the riped avo flesh in a alloy/steel container.
press and mash using the back of the spoon until all turned smooth

spread the smooth mashed avo and make the layer as thin as you can.
add more plates if you wish to

put under the hot sun until they turned dark.
i left this 3 plates from morning till the evening in a day.

scrap it out using a plastic spoon. it looks like copra

put all in a container

put a small portion (1 table spoon) on the cloth and spread them

and roll the cloth like shown above

take the 2 spoon and tie the end of each cloth like shown above

twist and squeeze as hard as you can. strong fingers are better and weak ones ;p

from 4 avocados. uncooked and vitamins preserved.

look at the color! green and smells nice with no burning smell! real, genuine and pure avo oil

i like to keep empty perfumes bottles. see? i got 2 bottles of 10ml avo oil and a bottle of 5ml avo. 

your dont have to have a special machine to extract/expel avocado oil. everything can be done at home.

4 avocados can produce 50-55 ml pure, cold pressed avocado oil. i am going to make the small bottle as my eye night cream coz it has roller ball. for my facial moisturizer, the10ml (bigger bottle) is enough for a  month supply. this means my supply is enough for 2 months, since i have 2 bottles of 10 ml avo oil. cheap, easy and halal! i just love this outcome :)

just imagine if you have an avo tree which produces uncountable of avo fruits! how i wished i have an avocado orchard....

anyway, happy trying and good luck :)

Difference Between Cold & Hot Pressed Avocado Oil

Salam & hi to all,

i read somewhere in the net, claiming that avocado wont secrete its oil below any temperature of 90 degrees Celsius. that was the real reason why  i cooked my avocado (just pressed them in a pan, under slow fire) to get its oil. and, of course, i managed to get it (please refer to my previous posts on avocado oil). 

then, i saw a word 'cold pressed avocado oil' and this has 'distracted' my mind a lot...i wanted to know whats the difference between the hot and cold pressed avocado oil. i need to challenge the previous 90 deg celsius theory, so, i began my research, on how to produce the proclaimed high quality cold pressed avocado oil BELOW 90 DEGREES CELSIUS. my kids whined 'oh no! not avocado experiment again!...haha..

i took approximately 500 gram of avocado and mashed them, till fine and smooth. then i spread the mashed avocado on a tray, spread them as little as to make a very very thin layer, and put them in a room with room temperature of 16 degrees Celsius. Malaysia is having hot climate, so i turned the aircondition on. actually, you can test by letting your wet shirt in an airconditioned room, and you would be surprised to see it would be dry in the next morning, so the theory goes the same to the spreaded mashed avocado on the tray :)

so, coming back to the avocado oil thing, after a day, the greenish avocado turned dark. i can see some oil being excreted there, and then i put the tray under the hot sun, for about few hours. eventually, everything turn out black! but the good thing is, there is no smell of carbon due to burning from cooking, like the previous experiment i did before. put them all in a piece of cloth, and squeeze as hard as you can...you would be delighted to see the almost clear yellowish avocado oil drips in the bowl..(sorry, no photo on the process, as my hp battery was week that time)

the hot pressed and cold pressed avocado oil

look at the picture above. the difference is contrast!

if you ask me, i prefer the 'uncooked' one. no wonder the price of cold pressed avocado oil in the market is incredibly expensive...

now, i just wonder whats the difference between virgin and extra virgin oil...why did they create so many terminology in producing oil?

argghhh!!!
