Turning Pomace Into Purpose
At Avias Ranch, we don’t see waste—we see opportunity. The byproducts of extra virgin olive oil production, like pomace (the pulp, skins, and pits left after pressing), are often
discarded—99% of the time, they end up in toxic waste pits. With 15.6 million tons of pomace produced globally each year, this is an environmental crisis. We’re here to change that.
Pomace is rich in potassium, phosphorus, polyphenols, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making it a hidden resource, not waste. Through cutting-edge non-chemical processing, we extract its best elements, creating high-value products that support personal care, animal feed, sustainable fuel, and regenerative farming.
Why It Matters: The Numbers Behind Our Process
From 1 ton of pomace, we recover:
- 25 kg of residual oils → Omega-3 equivalent to 600 servings of salmon.
- 6 kg of polyphenols → Antioxidants equal to 15,000 cups of green tea.
- 400 kg of dietary fiber → The same as 13,000 apples.
- 18 kg of protein → Equal to 50 dozen eggs.
- 10 kg of essential minerals → The same as 60 liters of milk.
Without our process, these nutrients would be lost, and carbon benefits equal to driving 900 miles would disappear.
From Byproduct to High-Value Goods
We transform pomace into eco-friendly, premium products, proving that sustainability and quality go hand in hand:
- Eco-Friendly BBQ Briquettes → A cleaner-burning, sustainable alternative to charcoal.
- Olive-Fed Beef → Nutrient-rich meat with a superior fatty acid profile.
- Natural Soaps & Skincare → Rich in antioxidants & plant-based oils, free from synthetic additives.
- Biofuel for Clean Energy → With a calorific value of 4,000 kcal/kg, it provides renewable energy for homes and industries.
The Bigger Impact: Sustainability at Every Step
Without this process, 95% of pomace would be wasted, polluting land and water. Instead, Avias Ranch is creating a circular economy—where every product has a purpose beyond the bottle.
Each 500ml bottle of Avias Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil removes 4.57 kg of CO₂ from the atmosphere—equal to:
✅ Driving 11 miles
✅ Running an air conditioner for 7 hours
✅ Washing & drying 2 full loads of laundry
✅ The carbon footprint of a cheeseburger
At Avias Ranch, we don’t just make olive oil—we rethink sustainability at every level. Through science, innovation, and a commitment to reducing waste, we’re redefining the future of extra virgin olive oil.
