    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.
