TRUE Palm Oil Production Process

From Palm Fruit to the Flavours of Home

The rich red colour, distinctive aroma and familiar taste of traditional palm oil all begin with one ingredient—the palm fruit.

Inside each fruit lies a fleshy, oil-rich pulp. Transforming it into cooking oil involves several stages, from receiving the ripe fruit to extracting, clarifying and storing the oil.

TRUE Palm Oil is made from 100% pure, non-GMO, palm fruit and remains unrefined, retaining the character that makes it such a valued ingredient in traditional cooking.

 

The Journey from Fruit to Oil

1. Receiving the Fruit

The journey begins when harvested palm fruit bunches arrive for processing. Careful handling matters, as excessive bruising can affect the quality of the oil inside.

2. Preparing with Heat — Sterilisation

The fruit bunches are heated to soften the flesh and loosen the fruits from their stalks. Heating also deactivates natural enzymes that would otherwise break down the oil.

3. Separating the Fruits — Threshing

The individual fruits are separated from the bunches in a process called threshing. The oil-bearing fruit then moves forward for extraction.

4. Breaking Down the Pulp — Digestion

The softened fruit is mashed to break open its oil-bearing cells. Known as digestion, this stage prepares the pulp for pressing and helps release the oil held within it.

5. Extracting the Oil — Pressing

Mechanical pressure squeezes the oil from the prepared pulp. Palm fruit oil comes from the fleshy part of the fruit; the hard kernel at its centre produces a different oil, known as palm kernel oil.

6. Clarifying and Drying

Freshly extracted oil contains water and small particles of fruit fibre. Clarification separates these materials, while drying reduces the remaining moisture to prepare the oil for storage.

7. Storing the Oil

The clarified oil is stored under suitable conditions before packaging and distribution—the final part of its journey towards your kitchen.
