Descriptiontext

Chosen Foods LLC is a San Diego, California-based consumer packaged goods company that produces 100% pure avocado oil and a portfolio of avocado oil-based pantry products including pourable cooking oils (500ml to 2L formats, glass and PET, including a squeezable variant), cooking sprays, classic and vegan mayos, salad dressings (lemon garlic, ranch, caesar, balsamic, Italian, Greek artichoke), dip-and-drizzle sauces, avocado oil shortening and baking spray, and chocolate hazelnut spread. The company's core technical process is expeller-press extraction of avocado oil followed by natural refinement at specialized facilities, performed without chemical solvents or excessive heat treatment to preserve quality, stability, and a 500°F smoke point with neutral taste. Every batch is tested for purity, and the product's authenticity was independently confirmed by UC Davis, where Chosen Foods was one of only two brands to pass the study.
