Article about Bella Vado

Great article about Bella Vado and Cid da Silva from California Country. We are now selling his oils through our store.

Cid da Silva, pictured outside his processing shed in San Diego County, is the only producer of avocado oil in the United States. Bella Vado avocado oil is a standout in culinary applications as well as a variety of skin care products.

The thick, translucent ribbon of emerald green oil that pours from the spout of Ciriaco "Cid" da Silva's olive oil pressing machine is both mesmerizing and mouthwatering. But the liquid is not olive oil. It's avocado oil, a rich extract from Hass avocados that is appreciated not only by chefs, foodies and health-conscious cooks, but which has also cultivated a following in the skin care market.
