Frequently asked questions
What is High Oleic Palm Oil?
High Oleic Palm Oil (HOP) is a naturally bred variety of palm oil that contains about 55% oleic acid, a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat also found in olive oil. It’s developed through traditional crossbreeding — not genetic modification — to make the oil healthier and more stable for cooking.
Is High Oleic Palm Oil healthier than regular palm oil?
Yes. HOP contains less saturated fat and more monounsaturated fat, which helps support heart health and reduce cholesterol levels. It offers a similar nutritional benefit to olive or canola oil, with the added advantage of high heat stability.
Why is High Oleic Palm Oil used in cooking and food production?
HOP stays stable at high temperatures, making it ideal for frying, baking, and long shelf-life foods. It resists oxidation and breakdown better than seed oils, which means it maintains its flavor and nutrients longer during cooking.
Is High Oleic Palm Oil sustainable?
Yes — most high oleic varieties are grown on RSPO-certified sustainable plantations, and often by growers who focus on yield improvements rather than new land clearing. HOP’s higher efficiency per acre helps reduce deforestation pressure.
Is High Oleic Palm Oil Non-GMO?
Correct — it’s Non-GMO Certified. HOP is developed through selective breeding of naturally high-oleic palms, not through genetic engineering, ensuring a clean, natural oil source.
What makes High Oleic Palm Oil better than other vegetable oils?
It combines the stability of palm oil with the heart-health benefits of olive oil. Compared to seed oils, it has lower polyunsaturated fats (which oxidize faster) and provides a cleaner, more consistent performance for food and skin applications.
Does High Oleic Palm Oil still cause deforestation concerns?
Sustainably produced HOP avoids new deforestation by using existing farmland and high-yield hybrids. When RSPO-certified, it supports ethical labor practices, biodiversity protection, and carbon emission reductions.
What’s the difference between High Oleic Palm Oil and regular palm oil?
Regular palm oil has about 40% oleic acid and 50% saturated fat, while HOP reverses that ratio — roughly 55% oleic acid and only 33% saturated fat. This makes it lighter, healthier, and more heat-resistant.
Can High Oleic Palm Oil replace seed oils like soybean or canola?
Yes — HOP offers similar or better frying performance than seed oils, but with higher stability, longer shelf life, and fewer trans fats. It’s a preferred ingredient for food brands seeking to remove hydrogenated oils.
Is High Oleic Palm Oil better for the planet?
Because it yields up to 10 times more oil per acre than other oil crops and lasts longer in cooking, it reduces waste and the need for new land. When sustainably sourced, it can be part of a positive, low-impact agricultural system.
