SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

Working with farmers to replace slash and burn practices with sustained yield agroforesty methods, CIRANDA’s Palmfruit™ oils are produced in a sustainable organic system that is restoring forests to previously cut areas near the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil.

These organic palm products are certified by IBD Brazil as NOP & EU Organic as well as EcoSocial. The EcoSocial certification assures, through an audit, that the producer practices fair relations in trading socially and environmentally certified products. The audit also verifies that the producer invests in programs of human and social development for employees, farmers and neighborhood communities, as well as in programs of environmental conservation. For more information visit the IBD website.

CIRANDA’s Palmfruit™ oils are pressed from the palm fruit clusters and processed using only steam and pressure; no chemical solvents are used in any stage of production. Extra Virgin Palm Oil retains the natural orange color and peppery odor. The oil is refined to yield Palm Oil RBD (refined, bleached, deodorized) which can be further fractionated using temperature induced crystallization and separation to obtain solid (stearin), and liquid (olein) fractions. Our organic shortening is made from a blend of these two fractions.

OUR PRODUCTS

 Palm fruit oil has naturally high levels of antioxidants (tocopherols and tocotrienols) which resist oxidation and rancidity, giving extended shelf life to products produced with palmfruit oils.

PALM FRUIT EXTRA VIRGIN OIL

Palm extra virgin oil retains the natural orange color and odor of the fruit. This product is popular for cooking and adds a unique flavor to foods.

PALM FRUIT OIL RBD

Palm oil RBD is used as a frying oil, in baking, cooking, ice creams, soaps and cosmetics. Its neutral flavor, color and aroma allow ingredients to shine through.

PALM FRUIT OLEIN

Palm olein is used as a frying oil for such items as corn and potato chips, snack foods and instant noodles. As a deep-frying medium, Palmfruit™ Olein can be re-used more often than other oils, due to its high temperature stability.

PALM FRUIT TRANS - FAT FREE SHORTENING

Palm shortening imparts light flaky texture to a wide variety of baked goods such as crackers, cookies, biscuits, pie and tart shells, breads and more. Ideal for use as a high quality creaming agent for spreads such as sandwich cookie fillings. The fact that Palmfruit™ shortening is solid at room temperature, has a neutral taste, and is produced without hydrogenation and trans-fatty acids, has made organic Palmfruit™ shortening a very useful ingredient in organic food processing.

PALM FRUIT STEARIN

Palmfruit stearin is a higher melting point palm fraction used in coatings in the confectionery and margarine industry. Palm stearin is also used to prevent oil separation in nut butters and in the production of soap and cosmetics.

PALM KERNEL OIL

Palm kernel oil resembles coconut oil, and can be used for coatings in food applications and for use in cosmetics.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

Physically and chemically different from the highly saturated palm kernel oil, Palmfruit™ products contain a balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids and essential substances such as linoleic acid, tocopherols and tocotrienols, which act as natural anti-oxidants against damaging free-radicals.

Our full line of tropical oils also includes virgin and refined coconut oils. Please call for details.
