Healthier cooking fats are seeing a huge surge in popularity, with coconut oil in particular experiencing a real renaissance over the last few years.
Avocado, the king of superfoods, is also in hot demand for its oil. Rich in plant sterols and carotenoids, it has been linked to increases in metabolic and cellular health.
Both coconut and avocado oils are being recognised by the healthy eating community as powerful tools against diseases related to the immune system. Several studies have looked into their effectiveness in this area, and more research is currently underway concerning their incredible nutritional value.
Combining the benefits of both these oils is Cocavo. Created in Whangarei, New Zealand, Cocavo has been developed by chefs and nutritionists to be a ‘world first’ combination of organic extra virgin coconut oil and extra virgin avocado oil. With Ben, Steph and Nikki fronting the office on UK soil here in Somerset, the South West once again is strides ahead in the food industry’s latest craze.
“We were developing a new process to make superior quality coconut oil and decided that we could also make a healthier option, and this is where Cocavo was created,” says UK distributor Ben Childs. “Cocavo will appeal to the health conscious who recognise the benefits of coconut and avocado oils. We see the range of flavours playing a big part in stimulating that creative chef we all have within. It will transform the way you cook – a flavoursome, but delicate oil that will add a little extra magic to every dish”.
With interest in the benefits of both coconut and avocado now far outreaching just the health foods market, Cocavo has become one of the latest and most interesting products in the superfood revolution that has seen avocado sales over the last five years rocket by an astonishing 184%.
Nikki says, “I’ve been completely converted, I now use the light Cocavo oil every day as an alternative to olive oil, for anything from omelettes and salad dressings to roasts. It goes such a long way too, I only need to use a teaspoon each time so my trusty pot is lasting well. I love steaming a small spoonful of the turmeric and lemon oil along with my salmon just to give hint of flavor and colour.”
