Medium heat (~400°F)
Sauté, roast, bake & drizzle
Lab-verified fat & sterol fingerprint
Bold, buttery avocadoee flavour
Independent lab report · 2025 harvest
Unrefined, extra-virgin avocado oil from a single origin: Embu and Ruiru, Kenya. Extracted without heat or solvents. The fruit is skinned, de-seeded, milled and spun in a centrifuge until the oil separates.
Independently lab-tested (Oct 2025): acidity 0.62%, peroxide value 3.0 meq O₂/kg, with a fatty-acid and sterol profile that matches avocado.
We press once a year, during the Kenyan avocado season (March–August), and sell each batch by season. The oil shipping now is from the 2025 harvest, pressed in August 2025 and best before 08/2027.
The avocados are grown by smallholder farmers in Embu and Ruiru. We visit these communities regularly, and every bottle you buy directly impacts the farmers who grow the fruit.
Cook: best over medium heat (smoke point about 400°F). Great for sautéing, roasting, eggs and baking.
Drizzle: on salads, bread, rice and bowls. This is where the avocadoee flavour shines.
Skip: deep-frying and smoking-hot searing. Use a refined oil for those.
Rafiki's Avocado Oil
With a smoke point around 400°F, it's rocks for regular sautéing and roasting.
Use it for salad or garnish. Make a vegan butter with it or even facemasks.
Drizzle over breakfast and enjoy the creaminess or take as wellness shot
Delicious!!!
Smells amazing and taste is unreal ! It’s perfect for salads which I enjoy often and I use to cook my eggs !
Super High Quality
Super high quality oil that you can do so much with. Tastes great (cooked several different dishes with it) and also hydrating for the skin and scalp.
Will buy again and again
Great avocado oil. You can tell it's different; the color, texture, how it reacts to heat. I will definitely be buying again. Well done!!!
Five steps from the tree to the bottle
No heat and no solvents. The fruit is opened, milled and spun, and the oil comes out on its own.
01
First, we get the avocados from farmers in Embu and Ruiru, Kenya.
02
The only way to make extra-virgin avocado oil is to remove the seed and skin of it.
03
With the leftover pulp, mix and make a consistent guacamole-like paste.
04
Spin the guac at 5,000 rpm in a high-speed centrifuge to separate the oil from the water.
05
It's literally avocado juice. The water is recycled back to the farms.

No hoops. No pressure.
If there is one thing almost everyone mentions, it's this:
It feels light, not greasy.
People often say it doesn’t sit heavy and doesn’t leave that oily coating feeling. Which is why it works so well as a finishing oil (and yes, even as small shots).
Like avocado.
It has a naturally avocadoee-forward, clean flavour — not neutral, not blended, not deodorized.
Think fresh avocado juice from the juiciest avocados.
We proudly source our avocados from the Embu and Ruiru regions of Kenya.
These regions are known for growing large, high-quality avocados and they’re also where we focus our farmer and community support.
Our avocado oil is pressed once a year, in season, and we don’t store it indefinitely.
We press during the Kenyan avocado season (March–August) and sell each batch by season. That means:
For example:
If it’s 2026, your oil was pressed in August 2025.
Under normal storage conditions, it lasts up to 2 years from pressing.
You can extend that lifespan by:
Freshness matters to us, and we’re transparent about it.
We ship orders once a week, every Friday.
This helps us stay small, fresh, and intentional with how we handle each batch.
Shipping is never more than $10 in Canada. If it is, we pay the difference.
The exact cost depends on where you live and how far you are from our dispatch location, but we keep it as low as possible.
We believe in showing, not telling.
Whenever we make impact supporting farmers, families, or community projects — we share it openly.
