What it is
Expeller-pressed palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees. The expeller-pressing method uses mechanical pressure to extract the oil, without the use of chemical solvents. This process is considered a more natural way to obtain the oil.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use expeller-pressed palm oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in baked goods and processed foods. It provides a rich texture and flavor, and can act as a stable fat in various food applications.
