Olivado Organic Extra Virgin Avocado Oil

Brand and Product Overview

Olivado is a pioneering brand in the production of high-quality, cold-pressed oils, specifically famous for being the first company in the world to produce extra virgin avocado oil. Founded in New Zealand, the brand has built a reputation for its ethical sourcing and 'fair trade' practices, particularly through its projects in Africa and partnership with local organic farmers.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

While headquartered in New Zealand, Olivado operates significant manufacturing facilities in Kericho, Kenya. The production of their Organic Extra Virgin Avocado Oil primarily takes place in Kenya, where they work with thousands of small-scale farmers to source organic avocados. This dual presence allows them to maintain global distribution while ensuring fresh, high-quality production close to the source of the fruit.

Ownership and Global Presence

The brand is owned by Olivado Ltd, which remains a privately held company based in New Zealand. Over the years, it has transformed from a small local start-up into a global leader in the specialty oil market, exporting to over 30 countries. The company continues to focus on sustainable agriculture and the health benefits of cold-pressed oils.
