Who we are
From the field to your fryer, under one roof
Wholesale Cooking Oil LLC was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. We supply restaurants, caterers, food manufacturers, distributors, retailers and private label brands with cooking and specialty oils in every common bulk format.
What sets us apart is that we do the processing ourselves. Our farms, processing plants and warehouses in Tennessee, Mississippi and Oregon handle every step from processing to packing. That means one set of specifications, one quality system and one team accountable for every liter we ship.
To keep supply steady through the seasons, we combine crops from our own farms with raw materials bought through established traders in the countries best known for growing each crop. We hold stock at warehouses in those sourcing countries, and every order is processed in, and shipped from, the United States.
What we do
Five steps, all managed by us

Step 1

What we stand for
How we work with our customers
One quality system
Every oil is processed, tested and packed in our own facilities under the same procedures, so quality does not depend on which site fills your order.
Certified and documented
We are FDA registered and certified to FSSC 22000, HACCP, ISO 9001 and more, with an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. A Certificate of Analysis comes with every order, and certificate copies are available on request.
Honest about origin
We say where each oil is grown and where it is processed. Oils such as palm, coconut, olive and argan are pressed near the source, because the fruit must be milled fresh.
Speed when it matters
Our team is online 24 hours a day, and orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours of payment clearing, depending on order size.
Clear terms
One minimum of 1,000 liters across any mix of oils, six shipping terms, and 100% advance payment by bank transfer or cryptocurrency, stated up front.
Built for buyers
From a single restaurant to an importer filling containers, you get one quote for every oil and pack size you need.

Who we supply
Oil for every kind of food business
What “processed in the USA” means here
We process and pack every oil in the United States, but some raw materials, such as palm fruit, coconut, olives and argan kernels, can only be grown in other climates. Under the US Federal Trade Commission’s standard, an unqualified “Made in USA” claim requires that all or virtually all of a product be made in the United States. So we describe our oils accurately: processed and packed in the USA from US-grown and imported raw materials, with the growing countries listed on each oil’s page.

Can I visit your office?
Yes, by appointment. Book a visit through our Contact page or by email, with your preferred dates and what you would like to discuss, and we will confirm a time.
Are you a manufacturer or a trader?
We process and pack our oils ourselves. We buy crops and crude oils from our own farms and from traders in the major growing countries, then process, test and pack them at our own US facilities.
How long have you been in business?
Wholesale Cooking Oil LLC was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Today we run our own farms, processing plants and warehouses in Tennessee, Mississippi and Oregon, and supply 37 edible oils to restaurants, food manufacturers, distributors and importers in the United States and abroad.
How many oils do you supply?
37 edible oils, from core frying oils such as sunflower, soybean, canola and palm olein to specialty and cold-pressed oils such as avocado, walnut, black seed and argan.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Yes. We supply food businesses in the United States and around the world. Within the United States, Canada and Mexico, we deliver by truck from our nearest facility: usually 1–5 business days within the US and 3–10 days to Canada and Mexico. Overseas orders ship by sea in containers, as flexitanks, IBC totes, drums or palletized cases, from the Port of Gulfport, Mobile, New Orleans, Savannah or Portland, whichever best suits your route. Typical sea transit is 12–20 days to the UK and Northern Europe, 28–42 days to West Africa, 25–45 days to the Middle East and 14–25 days to East Asia. You choose the shipping terms (FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CPT or DAP), and every quotation states the route, port of loading and estimated arrival date. We cannot ship to countries under US sanctions, and mustard oil is supplied for export only. We hold raw materials at warehouses in our sourcing countries, but every order is processed in, and ships from, the United States.
Are your oils “Made in USA”?
Our oils are processed and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported raw materials. Because some raw materials are imported, we describe them that way rather than with an unqualified “Made in USA” claim.
What certifications do you hold?
We hold FDA food facility registration and certifications including FSSC 22000, SQF, HACCP, GMP, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 17025, Halal, Kosher, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, RSPO and ISCC PLUS. Product certifications apply to the grades listed on each certificate. Copies are available on request through our Quality & Certifications page.
Do you offer private label?
Yes, on request. We can pack 1L and 5L bottles, 10L containers and 20L jerrycans under your brand. Tell us your markets, pack sizes and label requirements in your quote request, and we will confirm the minimum run, artwork requirements and lead time.
