Oils & Fats
Palm Oil
Rich, savory red-orange oil widely used in West African and tropical cooking.
Unrefined red palm oil is pressed from oil-palm fruit and carries a distinctive savory, slightly nutty flavor and deep red-orange color from carotenoids. It is essential to West African stews and is also used refined as a neutral high-heat fat.
