The average annual production of avocado oil is 3500 MT. The company has its own production area of 90 ha in Yucatan. It is ensured that all the crops are organically grown, no synthetic pesticides or herbicides are permitted and the company does not allow for the use of GMO seeds. All harvesting of crops is also manually executed through hand picking in order to ensure there is no damage to the plants and trees. The harvesting season of avocado in the Michoacan area is from October to July and during this period the production is 20 metric tons/daily. The Michoacan region is the main region of avocado production in the world, due to its abundant freshwater supply and favourable climate and land conditions. Mechanical extraction (first cold pressing and then centrifugal decanter) is done to process the avocado oil.

The processing plant of oils has an area of 5000m2 in Michoacan where the production of avocado oil is done. First, the flesh of the avocado is ground to a paste and then malaxed for 40-60 minutes at 40°C. This process is classified as cold-pressed extraction for avocado oil. The oil and water phases are separated from the pulp using a high-speed decanting centrifuge, and then the oil is separated from the water in final polishing centrifuges. The pulp from the decanting centrifuge and waste skin/seeds are returned to orchards for soil conditioning and mulch. In peak season, the processing plant can produce 300 tons of crude and 80-100 tons of virgin and extra virgin avocado oil per month. The production and process involve hundreds of people.

The avocado oils have a soft and pleasant taste of creamy avocado. Guacamolli offers crude and extra virgin avocado oil. They are available for sale in bulk or retail. The oil is 100% natural and can be used for consumption and suited for further processing. The cultivation process can be done using conventional or organic methods. The biggest strength of the products is its quality, its 100% natural properties, its innocuity, price and organoleptic properties. Crude oil has a higher Free Fatty Acid (FFA) percentage and allows for the oil to be refined and used at higher temperatures. Virgin and Extra virgin avocado oil contain a much lower FFA percentage, less than 2% and 1% respectively. The oil has a shelf life of 24 months. Samples are available on request. One free sample per client is given and the shipping shall be paid by the client. If more samples are required, they will be charged. In some cases, these charges can be deducted from the first order.
