What it is

Pomace oil is the lowest grade of olive oil. It is made from the pulp and skin left over after the first pressing of olives to extract virgin or extra virgin olive oil. The remaining material is then treated with solvents, typically hexane, and heat to extract the residual oil.

Why it's used

Pomace oil is often used in commercial food production due to its neutral flavor and lower cost compared to higher grades of olive oil. It can be found in baked goods, salad dressings, and some processed foods where a mild oil is needed.

Health notes

In the U.S., pomace oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of fatty acids, similar to other vegetable oils. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated oils in this category. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from olives, which are fruits.
