The vegetable oils that we are refining
fall into two categories hard and soft.
Under hard we find the tropical oils :
Coconut oil, palmkernel oil-Palm oil

Hard category vegetable and lauric oils are derived
from crushing the fruits. Coprah is extracted from
coconuts, palm from oil palm trees and palm kernel
from the kernel of the fruit. These products are destined
for the following 3 sectors :
- Edible foods : bakery products, French fries, margarine,
chocolate, baby milk,
icecream etc...
- Animal feed : milk replacers for calves, piglets
etc... Also petfoods.
- Technical uses : cosmetics, soap, oleochemicals,
lubricants etc...
In former times the raw materials would have originated
mainly in Africa but nowadays they come from Malaysia,
Indonesia, The Philippines and many of the islands
of the South Pacific.

Soft oils are derived from the oil extraction of
seeds of seasonal plants such as Soya, canola, sunflower,
linseed, corn etc.
These seeds are coming from Europe as well as North
America (Canada & USA) and South America (Argentina
& Brazil).
These are destined for the following uses :
- Edible foods : mainly bottled oils but also mayonnaise,
salad dressings, bakery products...
- Animal feeds in the form of crude, refined and hydrogenated
oils
- Industrial applications such as paints, varnishes,
inks, cutting oils and the manufacture of
biofuels
All our imports are made under strict analytical
control and conform to French and EU sanitary regulations.
