When it comes to frying, think fish & chips, takeaways & fast food, the oil you choose matters. Not just for taste, colour or crispness, but for your customers, your brand, and the planet. At Henry Colbeck, our Oils & Fats category is always evolving to meet those demands. A shining example? FriWite Sustainable Palm Oil – a product built for performance and sustainability.
What Is FriWite Sustainable Palm Oil?
FriWite is a solid palm oil specially developed for commercial fryers, especially in the fish & chip and takeaway sectors. Some of its key features include:
- 100% RSPO certified from fully segregated sources, meaning the oil is deforestation‑free
- Fries light in colour, delivering visually appealing & consistent fried food
- Long frying life: FriWite holds up well under repeated use
- Free from hydrogenated fats; less than 1% trans fat
- Suitable for vegans, gluten, allergen‑free, with a neutral flavour
- Excellent smoke point (~221‑232 °C) and flash point (~315‑332 °C)
Why Choose FriWite (and Sustainable Palm Oil) Over Other Oils & Fats
