America’s Original Vegetable Oil
Deeply rooted in American food history, cottonseed oil has played an important role since the mid 1800’s. With today’s pressures to reduce trans fats, cottonseed oil is reemerging as a smart choice in culinary development for food service operators, chefs and food manufactures.
Thanks to its naturally high stability and versatility, cottonseed oil is a solution for reducing trans, while enhancing - never masking - the natural flavor of food.
