Avohass New Zealand Chili Extra Virgin Avocado Oil 8.5 fl oz Bottle

This product is without peer (and I have the cred to make such a declaration, growing up alongside organic avocado groves in Southern California). I adore the pure extra virgin, but will admit: during one of the company's major sales advertising their infused oils, I decided to give them a go. The company claimed they were "excellent" but I was skeptical. They were exquisite, let me tell you.I see that most people agree with me, and have given this product glowing praise and the five starts it justly merits. The only complaint I observe is that the avocados themselves are sourced from Kenya or, at times, New Zealand. I too was troubled by this and decided to call the company and ask - after all, my parents have organic avocado groves in California, and I wondered why this Hollywood-based company didn't source there. Well, the owner of the company - one of the nicest guys I've ever talked to in my life - proceeded to have a thirty minute conversation with me about his decision to source from Kenya (the cost in southern California is prohibitive and the supply has decreased as ranchers sell their lands to developers - the land in Kenya is and has always been organic, and nary a drop of pesticides have entered the soil there). Our conversation ranged from topical applications, pesticides and USDA organic certification standards, the global demand and changing geography of avocados, and so on. I learned so much about this company and this man and longtime partners with whom he founded the company. I can't imagine supporting a competitor - and neither can my parents.Kudos to this company for its commitment to organics, cold pressing, and using only high-quality and un-bruised fruits. Kudos to this company for its overall commitment to excellence and customer service. I am convinced that avocado oil *made from organic, non-bruised fruit and cold pressed like this product* is one of the healthiest things we can consume as humans. But I'm equally convinced that the world would be a better place if we had more companies, and business owners, like Avohass.

I love Avohass products...I still haven’t been able to give up pan frying a lot of my foods and I know avocado oil has a high smoke point and won’t turn into liquid cancer like coconut or olive oil when heated past their smoke points! :) It’s got beautiful flavor and you don’t need much! I gave this product 5 stars...but I will say I don’t taste much of the chili flavor...I get a brief smell of it when it’s cooking but other than that it has the same flavor as the original oil. (But to be fair I also lovveeee spicy so, it could just be me—won’t stop me from buying it though)

I thought it would be hot chili oil butIt doesn’t have much flavor, it just tastes like avocado oil mixed with a tiny bit of paprika.

I love this product, I cook eggs in it, all styles. Just adjust the amount for the style you want

Great product! Thick delicious rich oil that adds flavor to all my dishes. Will definitely order more.

Reviewing: Avohass New Zealand Chili Extra Virgin Avocado Oil 8.5 fl oz BottleThis is an 8.5oz bottle of flavored avocado oil.We are avocado lovers with about a dozen bearing trees of various species in our back yard, so we’ve experimented quite a bit with recipes, the taste of different types, and also can tell if an avo is fresh-tasting or slightly “off”.This oil is fresh-tasting, in marked contrast to some other avo oil we’ve tried, and some we’ve reviewed. So kudos on their processing.Having said that, it’s a shame that the “hot tamale” style flavoring added to this entirely obscures the delicate avo flavor, so that it might as well be some far cheaper oil, and could be as far as one can tell from the taste.The flavoring isn’t “hot” per se, just has whatever chili flavorings… and I don’t know what they are, because the bottle doesn’t say! It says what ISN’T in it but not what is, which is kinda extraordinary.. unless “chili essential oil”, mentioned in the narrative, is the only other ingredient.My own feeling about it mirrors that of my wife, which is “why take expensive oil and make it taste like cheap chili?” I’m sure we’ll use this up, but I find the flavor of it to be unfortunate and would not order it again.If this brand offers other flavors, they’re probably better.

The flavor is very good. The avocado oil is pretty flavorful by itself, plus they added some chili oil so it has some heat to it, too. It works great for dipping and for drizzling. it should work for frying, too, because of the high smoke point for the oil, but I wouldn't want to waste such flavorful oil on frying.The thing that is bothering me is the foil cap design. I ordered five different flavored bottles of the oil, and two of them had defective foil caps that were hard to open, and now they would not close. I think they need to pay a bit more attention to the cap design, especially for such expensive and flavorful oil.

So good I use it on everything.
