Palmolein
Palmolein is obtained from the flesh of the oil palm (Elaeis guineesis), which belongs to the palm tree Family (Arecaceae). Physical fractioning and subsequent filtration separate refined Palm Oil into an olein and a stearin phase. Although originally native to Africa, the oil palm is now mainly grown in Indonesia and Malaysia.
