Since all Bella Vado avocados are grown organically what is the difference between this product and Bella Vado's regular Avocado oil?

Here is an explanation from the Bella Vado website: "All of our Avocado Oil is processed Organically, but our Certified Organic Avocado Oil is processed using only Certified Organic Avocados. We're huge Organic buffs, and enjoy both our Original and Certified Organic equally."

I really believe in the processing/extruding the oil. Bella Vado's is cold pressed from the pulp, and not from pulp & seed.

This is the only one I have purchased and used! Have no idea what the difference is. However I can tell you, it is amazing!! I made a banana bread with it; absolutely out of this world!

HI I do believe it is organic, since it comes from Israel and most of the country's products are organic. They have different requirements for products than America. I really enjoy this Jojoba oil it is milder and absorbs quickly into the skin. I soaked my hair in this oil overnight and wow what a difference in keeping moisture in than the dry fly away that I usually have. I hope this helps.

I believe that Zoe is 100% olive oil. They don't have "100% olive oil" on the container, but there are no other ingredients listed anywhere on the can (I checked carefully). The cover says "Extra Virgin Olive Oil." I buy the organic most often. I am completely satisfied with the product. I think it tastes better than some olive oils I've tried. Try it, you'll like it! I only purchase high-quality foods.

Well, the first answer says it. With "organic" it is often a kind of trust, not only with this product but many others. "Organic" is watered down by big companies who jump on the band wagon to increase profit. All I can say is that this product, compared to the one I bought a while ago is much better. It is exactly as the company describes it. I use it on my face and it does wonder;-).

No. At least that is what my research proved. Fractionated coconut oil does NOT have the same healthy properties as unfiltered organic virgin coconut oil, such as sold by Tropical Traditions. I only use FCO to "dilute" and blend essential oils for applying to my body.

What I have read is California olive oil growers want to distinguish themselves as the best olive oil from the grocery store which sells fake oils. So California has issued standards for their olive oils that they have to meet. But I don't know about the International council...just my 2 cents if it helps!!!

I am taking the word of the company that it is organic. I love this oil. I use it in my homemade oils mixtures and lotions. Very satisfied with this oil!

It's NOT listed as organic, so I'd consider it as conventional product, meaning it's the generic conventional methods, which can contain hormones, pesticides, toxins, etc., even if it's all natural. All natural means it doesn't have chemical additives; it doesn't mean it's organic. If you need to be free of all these things, look for an organic product made in USA.

Mark, I haven't used NOW FOODS avocado oil. However, I do use this oil for my skin and hair. So far I haven't been disappointed.

Because it is not Organic Raw extra Virgin Coconut oil. This is just pure 100% coconut oil. Like there is Olive oil, then there is extra virgin olive oil. Some are better than others.

Not sure; probably not. Here's what is says on the label: "La Touangelle Avodado Oil is 100% pure, all-natural and handcrafted from fresh premium avocados. The avocado pulp is first expeller-pressed in a manner similar to extra virgin olive oil, then lightly filtered. The result is a beautiful, emerald green oil with high level of monounsaturated fats that will bring a delicious, light avocado flavor to your dishes.

Well, it doesn't say organic so my guess would be that it is conventional. Most products tend to brag if they went to the extra effort of avoiding pesticides. I would find a product that explicitly says organic if you are concerned about pesticide residues (they are found in over a quarter of peanut butters, so simply removing the shell is not enough).

I've only purchased La Tourangelle, so I do not have anything to compare it with. Aside from that, this is a very tasty oil. I have used it in salad dressings, stir-fries, baking and received many compliments on the delicious taste this oil gives to food. Another great use for this avocado oil is to use it as a facial moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin hydrated all day long.

"EXTRA" virgin, when it is applied to coconut oil, is a meaningless marketing ploy."There are essentially two types of coconut oil -- virgin and refined. Virgin coconut oil, or VCO, is made by pressing fresh coconut meat, milk or milk residue. Refined, bleached and deodorized, or RBD, oil is made from the coconut copra or dried kernel and may be chemically treated."http://www.livestrong.com/article/266229-what-is-the-difference-between-virgin-extra-virgin-coconut-oil/

What about certified organic butter?All butter is fabulous, and organic butter at least comes from cows raised without growth hormones or antibiotics. You also know their feed is GMO-free and pesticide-free. YAY.Yet, organic dairy standards in the U.S. only require cows have "year round access to the outdoors except under specific conditions (inclement weather)," not necessarily that their outdoor lots be full of lush, green grasses and happy meadows and pastures.So, while some organic dairies may raise their cows out on pasture for the vast majority of the year, others simply may not. Therefore, organic certification is completely irrelevant to determining if the butter is from grass-fed cows.

I used the Neutrogena sesame oil long ago. I LOVED that stuff, but there are many additives in it if I recall. Avocado oil is additive-free and I completely love it and know what it is! A little goes a long way. I use it on skin and on my hair (I use it with castor oil for the oil cleanse).

The label does not state that this olive oil is organic. About the non-gmo, no info on the label. It is the best tasting olive oil I have ever bought for use on salads, light, fragrant and not at all heavy or overwhelming. Hope this helps.
