It Started with a Passion

ABOUT US

Ryoil Co. was born from our deep passion for red palm oil. Having grown up in Africa, where extra virgin palm oil is a staple that enriches every dish with its distinctive flavor, we noticed a significant gap in the availability of high-quality palm oil after moving to the United States. Today, Ryoil Co. bridges that gap by connecting consumers with the world’s purest red palm oil producers.

Responsibility & Sustainably
Sourced

What Sets Us Apart

At Ryoil Co., we believe that responsibility goes beyond delivering quality products—it’s about making choices that positively impact people and the planet. Our virgin palm oil is carefully sourced from small-scale farmers in southeastern Nigeria, where the palm tree, known as the "Tree of Life," plays a vital role in both culture and livelihood. These farmers use traditional, time-honored methods that are free from harmful additives, ensuring that each drop of oil remains pure and true to its origins. By partnering with these communities, we help preserve their way of life while offering you a product rooted in heritage and authenticity.

Sustainability is at the core of our operations. Our farmers don’t just harvest palm oil—they cultivate practices that sustain their communities for generations. The palm trees are tended with care, allowing them to thrive season after season without depleting the environment. By choosing our virgin palm oil, you’re not only enjoying a high-quality, nutrient-rich product, but you’re also supporting ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and community development. With every purchase, you join us in our commitment to a future where quality, tradition, and sustainability go hand in hand.

Virgin red palm oil is rich in healthy fats, offering a balanced mix of saturated and monounsaturated fats. It is also packed with powerful antioxidants like tocotrienols and carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lycopene.
