Elysian Isles Gourmet Avocado and Olive Oils Have Gone Kosher...

Elysian Isle Gourmet Foods, importers and distributors of the finest New Zealand food products including their award winning avocado oil and award winning olive oil, announces Kosher Certification for both products.

DUNDEE, OR (PRWEB) October 9, 2004 -- The certification process has been attended to over the past few months, culminating in the Rabbis 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 its 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. Elysian Isle Avocado Oil is scrumptious in salad dressings, marinades, drizzled over pastas or as a dip for bread. The oils smoke point of over 500 degrees is the highest of any 100 per cent natural oil. It is ideal for wok cooking, sautéing, frying, baking, grilling or barbecuing.

More than ever our patrons expect meals that are both flavorful and functional. Elysian Isle Gourmet Avocado Oil enhances both the flavor and health benefits of our dishes. It is a wonderful addition to our pantry," says Chef Suki -- Executive Chef, Beverly Hills Hotel.

New oil added to line-up...

Elysian Isle has recently added several new items to its product line. These include hot sauces and honeys, but perhaps the finest addition is our Picual Olive Oil. We searched all over New Zealand and selected what we feel is the finest olive oil in the country. And now the Kosher Certification makes it even better.

Our Pictual Olive Oil is a cold pressed extra virgin oil pressed from only the Spanish Picual Olive. It has a very delicate, slightly spicy to fruity flavor and is superb as both a salad oil or as a finishing oil on fish or poultry. Like all other Elysian Isle products, it is 100% pure and natural.
