The Product

High oleic.
Palm olein.

The liquid fraction pressed mechanically from the mesocarp of the Colombian OxG hybrid palm fruit. Naturally stable. Naturally high oleic. Engineered by nature, refined by us, ready for industrial scale.

What it is

A fruit oil. Not a seed oil.

High Oleic Palm Olein (HOPO) — also called Colombian Fruit Oil — is the liquid fraction pressed from the mesocarp, the fleshy outer layer of the oil palm fruit. We never touch the kernel. We never use hexane. We never hydrogenate.

The fruit we press is the OxG interspecific hybrid (Elaeis oleifera × Elaeis guineensis) — an American-African palm cross native to the Neotropics. Its naturally high oleic profile comes from the chemistry of the cross, not from genetic engineering.

  • Mechanically pressed from sterilized fresh fruit
  • Zero hexane, zero chemical solvents
  • Naturally high oleic, naturally low PUFA
  • Naturally zero trans fat — no hydrogenation
  • Sourced from Hacienda La Cabaña & Guaicaramo, Colombia

In the bottle

Pale, neutral, stable.

Refined physically — steam-stripped, degummed, bleached with natural absorbents — to a quiet, shelf-stable industrial oil with a clean fatty-acid backbone preserved from press to pack.

Applications

Built for every commercial use case.

A versatile industrial fat engineered for the heat, volume, and consistency requirements of modern food production.

Deep frying

420°F+ smoke point (typically 440–460°F measured) and high oxidative stability. Longer fryer life, fewer oil changes, more consistent flavor across thousands of cooking cycles.

Sauté & wok

Neutral flavor and high heat tolerance make HOPO ideal for high-temperature stir-fry, sear, and finishing applications.

Bakery & pastry

Clean-label fat for crackers, cookies, breads, and laminated doughs. Natural stability extends finished-product shelf life.

Snack production

Chips, extruded snacks, coatings — HOPO delivers a clean fat profile, premium label story, and oxidative stability that protects flavor.

Sauces & dressings

Stable, mild-flavored base for emulsified sauces, dressings, marinades, and prepared meal kits where neutrality matters.

Ingredient blends

Drop-in replacement for partially hydrogenated and seed-based oils in industrial shortening and ingredient systems.
