3. What are the advantages of Fresh Press vs. Standard palm fruit oil?

 

- Quick process, fresh product, minimal level of degradation of crude oil
- Minimal level of diglycerides improves the crystallization and raises the smoke point.
- Clean, clear color which cannot be obtained with oils that have a higher acidity level.
- Fresh and smooth taste, FreshPress has no foreign residual substances
- Stable natural product, resistant to oxidation, stays fresh longer
