What Avohass does

Avohass is a privately held, founder-owned specialty food company founded in 2012 by Donald Jones and Amy Bowman and headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. The company produces and sells premium avocado oil in two formats: unrefined extra virgin (first cold pressed) oil with a 400°F smoke point, and refined (expeller pressed) oil with a 500°F smoke point, plus flavored extra virgin variants (Lime, Garlic). All products are single-origin, sourced from producers in Mexico, New Zealand, Kenya, and Europe, with no blends, fillers, or additives, and are verified per-lot by independent third-party labs (LJB Laboratory in Spain and SGS Laboratory in Louisiana) using Certificates of Analysis covering purity, UV index, Free Fatty Acid, and fatty acid composition. Certifications include USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model through its own e-commerce storefront (avohass.com), shipping to USA and Canada (free shipping) and internationally via FedEx, with a customer service phone line (310-880-6998) and a subscription option for recurring orders. Wholesale distribution is handled through POD Foods and the Faire marketplace, reaching independent retailers and food-service buyers without an internal sales force. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales, subscriptions, and wholesale transactions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company serves health-conscious home cooks and professional kitchens as primary segments, with retail and food-service businesses as a secondary wholesale segment.

Avohass employs 1-10 people, has never raised outside capital, and operates as an independent, profitable or break-even lifestyle/specialty CPG. Marketing is conducted via content (blog, recipes), an email newsletter offering a 10% first-purchase incentive, and organic social media. The company maintains no mobile app, public API, or disclosed integrations, and has not pursued acquisitions, partnerships beyond distribution channels, or geographic expansion beyond the existing multi-origin supply network.

Core offering

Avohass produces and sells unrefined extra virgin avocado oil (first cold pressed) and refined avocado oil (expeller pressed) from Grade A avocados, with organic and conventional options in plain and flavored varieties.

Product overview

Avohass is a specialty avocado oil company offering two main product lines: extra virgin (unrefined) avocado oil and refined avocado oil. The extra virgin oils are cold pressed, unrefined, and available in plain as well as flavored varieties (Lime and Garlic infusions). Products are sourced from Mexico, New Zealand, and Kenya. The company sells single bottles and offers wholesale options through POD Foods and Faire. Both oil types share the same avocado fruit base but differ in processing: extra virgin retains natural flavor and antioxidants (smoke point 400°F), while refined offers neutral taste and superior high-heat performance (up to 500°F).
