The certification process has been attended to over the past few months, culminating in the Rabbi's visit to our processing facilities in New Zealand with certification then being approved.While this certification is important, we believe it also reinforces and emphasizes the attention to good quality processing and management systems in place at our facilities.Elysian Isle Gourmet Avocado Oil has long been recognized by professional chefs and at home cooks as one of the finest oils in the world.
It is extremely versatile with a smoke point over 500 degrees, a vibrant green color, and a subtle delicate nutty buttery taste. Avocado oil has a higher viscosity than olive oil, and texturally is more pleasant than all other oils.
Healthy fat?
Despite what you may have heard, avocados are cholesterol free.
Avocado oil is high in beta sitosterol, a phytosterol nutrient, that has been proven to lower cholesterol levels and reduce certain types of prostate problems.
It has also been shown to reduce the risk of type two diabetes. Studies conducted at UCLA show that avocados are the highest fruit source of Vitamin E.And it's DELICIOUS!Avocados are naturally nutty, buttery, rich and just plain delicious.
Elysian Isle maintains the exquisite taste of the New Zealand Haas avocado by pressing only the flesh of the fruit and leaving the oil pure and unrefined.
Because it is unrefined, this avocado oil retains all of the nutrients and qualities of a fresh avocado.
Its vibrant, deep green color makes for stunning presentations.
And it can be used in exactly the same way as the finest olives oils.

Mangosteen
Mangosteen (also known as mangostin and guttiferae garcinia mangostana L) is the fruit of the mangosteen tree. The tree is quite slow in growth but can achieve heights of anything from 20 to 80 feet. It is typically thick-leaved and grows exclusively in tropical countries with climate such as in India, the East Indies, Thailand and the Philippines.
It requires a considerable amount of moisture to thrive. The leaves are of leathery texture and can grow to a length of ten inches or more.
It is believed to have originated from the Sunda Islands and is most extensively cultivated in Thailand, Kampuchea, Burma and Singapore.
There have been repeated attempts to cultivate it in places like Queensland and Africa, but these have never been very successful. The mangosteen tree was first introduced in America in 1906, when the United States Department of Agriculture received seeds from Java. Attempts to cultivate it in California, Florida and even Hawaii were...

Brain foods make you think differently for back-to-school
EVANSTON, IL (ContentDesk) August 9, 2005 -- Students might start thinking a little differently, once they learn about brain foods, and how they can help their concentration and make their school work easier.
The most important meal of the day is breakfast. Kids who eat breakfast consistently do better on tests. Getting better grades is important, but making time to eat breakfast is tough. "If you don't have time for a sit down breakfast, grab a handful of walnuts, a whole grain breakfast bar, yogurt, or some peanut butter stuffed inside a whole wheat pita," advises Dave Grotto, a registered dietician, nutrition expert and director of nutrition educational services at Block Center for Integrated Cancer Care & Optimal Health."Stay away from the high sugar/caffeine foods like doughnuts, soda and coffee," explained Grotto.
"Eating those foods can provide immediate fuel (glucose) to the brain, but it's a very short-term fix. As your glucose level falls, concentration becomes...
