La Tourangelle Avocado Oil

La Tourangelle is a brand with a rich history rooted in the traditional oil-making heritage of the Loire Valley in France. The company was founded by the Guénard family, who operated a small artisan oil mill in Saumur. This legacy of craftsmanship continues to define the brand's reputation for high-quality nut and seed oils.

In the early 2000s, the brand expanded its footprint by establishing an oil mill in California, USA, to bring its traditional French techniques to North American markets using local ingredients when possible. Today, La Tourangelle is a globally recognized specialty oil brand, known for its iconic tin packaging and commitment to non-GMO and organic products. While it remains a family-owned business through the Guénard family’s leadership, it operates production facilities in both France and the United States, sourcing ingredients like avocados from various regions including Mexico and California to ensure supply and quality.
