Extracting the Oil Cold pressing is a method of oil extraction that involves no heat, which helps retain the nutritional value of the avocado oil.

Wrap the Mashed Avocado: Spread the mashed avocado onto a clean, thin cheesecloth or nut milk bag.

Press the Avocado: Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze it over a bowl. You’ll need to apply quite a bit of pressure. The liquid that comes out will be a mixture of avocado oil and water.

Separate the Oil: Let the mixture sit for about 24 hours in a cool place. The oil will naturally separate from the water and rise to the top due to its lighter density.

Skim the Oil: Carefully skim off the oil from the top and store it in a clean, airtight container.

Storing Your Avocado Oil Store your homemade avocado oil in a dark, cool place to preserve its freshness and nutritional properties. It can be used in salad dressings, for cooking at low temperatures, or as a skin and hair moisturizer.

Conclusion Making your own cold-pressed avocado oil at home is not only cost-effective but also a healthier alternative to store-bought oils, which may contain additives. This method ensures you have a pure, chemical-free product, and you get to enjoy the process of creating something beneficial from scratch. Happy pressing!
