At Thin Oil Products, we specialize in working with Latin American Palm Oil. Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil coming from the fruit of the African oil palms, with a couple of variations like High Oleic Palm Oil, which comes from the fruit of the hybrid between African and American palms.

Palm oil is the world’s most versatile vegetable oil. It can handle frying without spoiling and blends well with other oils. Its combination of different types of fats and its consistency after refining make it a popular ingredient in packaged baked goods. Its low production costs make it cheaper than frying oils such as cottonseed or sunflower. It provides the foaming agent in virtually every shampoo, liquid soap or detergent. Cosmetics manufacturers prefer it to animal tallow for its ease of application and low price. It is increasingly used as a cheap raw material for biofuels, especially in the European Union. It functions as a natural preservative in processed foods and does raise the melting point of ice-cream.

Its versatility and price make it the world’s most consumed oil in the world. Globally, we each consume an average of 8 kilograms of palm oil a year.
