Our cold-pressed avocado oil has the highest smoke point in the range at 255°C, making it the best choice for searing, roasting and high-heat frying. Our grass-fed ghee and beef tallow both reach around 250°C. Our coconut oil is lower, at approximately 177°C.

Ghee is butter that has been slowly clarified, which removes the water and the milk solids and leaves pure golden fat. That is why ghee reaches around 250°C where butter starts to burn at roughly 150°C, and why ghee is very low in lactose and casein.

Yes, our avocado oil, olive oil and coconut oil are all cold pressed, extracted mechanically using pressure rather than heat or chemical solvents. No hexanes or solvents are used at any stage. Our ghee and beef tallow are traditionally rendered rather than pressed.

For high-heat frying and searing, use our avocado oil at 255°C, or our ghee or beef tallow at around 250°C. Avocado oil is the most neutral of the three, while ghee and tallow bring flavour of their own. Coconut oil is better suited to medium heat.

No. None of our oils or fats contains seed oils, and none is blended with cheaper oils. Each is a single ingredient: avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil, ghee or beef tallow. No rapeseed, sunflower or other seed oils hidden in the blend.
