Profile

The high oleic variant of North America's most popular frying oil. Reduces PUFA from 28% to 15% while keeping canola's signature low saturated fat (7% — the lowest of any common frying oil). Estimated 190 fry cycles, roughly 60% longer than conventional canola. Gaining market share rapidly as Cargill (Clear Valley), Bunge, and ADM expand high oleic canola offerings to foodservice. Operators switching from conventional canola get significantly longer oil life with the same neutral flavor profile.
