The world’s most popular frying oil
Bulk palm olein is the liquid part of palm oil, and it is one of the most widely used frying oils in the world. It is prized for one reason above all: it lasts. Its fatty acid profile makes it highly resistant to breakdown at frying temperatures, so the oil stays in service longer, food tastes consistent, and oil costs fall.
Our palm olein is refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD), fractionated and packed in the United States, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.
What palm olein is
Palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature. Fractionation separates it by cooling it slowly and filtering it: the solid part becomes palm stearin, used in shortenings and margarine, and the liquid part becomes palm olein, a pourable oil. No hydrogenation is involved, so palm olein gets its stability naturally, without the trans fats produced by partial hydrogenation.
Why fryers last longer with palm olein
- Very little omega-3. Alpha-linolenic acid is typically 0.6% or less, and linoleic acid only about 10–13%. These are the fats that break down fastest under heat.
- Balanced saturated and monounsaturated fat. Palmitic acid (about 38–44%) and oleic acid (about 40–46%) give it its heat stability.
- High smoke point. Refined palm olein has a smoke point of roughly 230 °C (450 °F).
- Clean taste. It is neutral in flavor and gives fried food a crisp, dry finish.
Palm olein in cooler climates
Because palm olein comes from palm oil, it can turn cloudy or partly solid when stored below about 10 °C (50 °F). This is normal and does not affect quality. Store it somewhere warm, or warm it gently and mix before use. For deliveries to cold destinations in bulk, ask us about heating options for flexitanks and IBC totes in your quote request.
How bulk palm olein is priced
Palm olein prices follow palm harvests and global vegetable oil markets. We price each order on grade, pack size, total volume and destination, and larger formats cost less per liter. The minimum is 1,000 liters per quote, and you can combine palm olein with any of our other oils.

Sourcing
From palm plantations to finished olein
Oil palm grows only in tropical regions, and its fruit has to be milled within hours of harvest to keep its quality, so the first step happens at mills close to the plantations in palm-growing regions, including Malaysia and Nigeria.
We then refine, fractionate and pack the oil in the United States. Every batch is refined, bleached and deodorized, separated into olein, tested against specification and packed at our US facilities, giving you one quality standard and one point of contact for every order.
Processing
How we make palm olein
Milling at origin
Fresh palm fruit is sterilized and pressed at mills near the plantation within hours of harvest.
Degumming
Gums and impurities are removed from the oil.
Bleaching
The oil is filtered through bleaching earth to remove color pigments and trace impurities.
Deodorizing
Steam distillation under vacuum removes free fatty acids, odor and flavor compounds.
Fractionation
The refined oil is cooled slowly and filtered, separating liquid palm olein from solid palm stearin.
Testing and packing
Each batch is tested against specification, including cloud point, before filling.
Storage & handling
Keeping palm olein fresh
Temperature
Store between 20 and 30 °C (68–86 °F). Below about 10 °C (50 °F) palm olein can cloud or partly solidify; this is normal and reverses with gentle warming.
Warming and mixing
If the oil has clouded, warm it gently to about 30–40 °C (86–104 °F) and mix before use. Never heat containers directly over a flame.
Light and air
Keep containers sealed and out of direct sunlight to prevent oxidation.
In the fryer
Filter oil daily, skim debris, top up with fresh oil and avoid salting food over the fryer. Replace the oil when it darkens, foams or smokes at normal frying temperature.

FAQ
Palm Olein questions
What is the minimum order?
1,000 liters (about 264 US gallons) per quote, across any combination of oils and pack sizes. For example, one 1,000L IBC tote, five 200L drums, or 50 cases of 4 × 5L bottles.
What is the difference between palm oil and palm olein?
Palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature. Palm olein is its liquid fraction, separated by cooling and filtering, so it pours like a liquid oil and is used mainly for frying.
Why does palm olein turn cloudy?
Palm olein can cloud or partly solidify below about 10 °C (50 °F). This is normal and does not affect quality; warm it gently and mix before use.
Is palm olein good for deep frying?
Yes. It is one of the most heat-stable liquid frying oils, with very little omega-3, so it lasts longer in the fryer than most other oils.
Does palm olein contain trans fat?
Palm olein is not hydrogenated, so it contains no added trans fat. Like all deodorized oils it may contain trace amounts formed during refining; our specification limits trans fatty acids to 1.0% max.
Is your palm oil RSPO certified?
Tell us in your quote request if you need RSPO-certified or other sustainably certified palm products, and we will confirm availability and certification for your order.
How is the price set?
Vegetable oil prices move with crop harvests and global commodity markets, so each quote is based on grade, pack size, total volume and delivery destination. Your quotation shows the price, any freight and other charges, the shipping terms and route, and an estimated arrival date.
