“We call it the Red Olive of the Tropics™, the first High Oleic Fruit Oil that outperforms seed oils in every way,” said Roberto Herrera, CEO of Del Llano Farms. “We’re ready to partner with food companies, ingredient innovators, and chefs to build healthier, more sustainable products together.”
Jonathan Rubin, CEO and founder of the Seed Oil Free Alliance, added, “We are excited to certify Del Llano Farms™ because it represents exactly what this movement is about, radical transparency, integrity in sourcing, and healthier options for home cooks and chefs.”
Product Performance and Sustainability
Del Llano Farms™ Tropical High Oleic™ Palm Olein is positioned as a category leader for health, performance, and sustainability. With a smoke point above 450°F (232°C), it offers higher heat stability compared to olive, canola, and avocado oils. It is rich in oleic acid, Vitamin E, and beta carotene, and delivers consistent frying performance. The oil’s high yield, at 10–11 tons per hectare annually, reflects its potential as a sustainable cooking oil alternative.
Del Llano Farms’ Distribution and Market Reach
Through its partnership with S&K Oil Sales, Del Llano Farms™ is expanding distribution across the U.S. to support bulk supply and foodservice applications. The Seed Oil Free Certified™ seal will help chefs, restaurants, and manufacturers verify purity, non-blending, and stability, reinforcing trust in the company’s regenerative production methods.
