Description
Corn oil must go through an extensive refining process to be extracted from corn. It’s most commonly used as a frying oil due to its high smoke point but also has industrial applications.
During the process of extracting corn oil from corn, many vitamins and minerals are lost. Still, the oil has a fair amount of vitamin E.

Triche –
I purchased refined corn oil from madeiribas-lda.com and had it shipped to the US. The oil arrived securely packaged with no leaks or damage—impressive for an international shipment! The quality is excellent: light, neutral in flavor, and perfect for frying and baking**.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that shipping took a bit longer than expected, and the cost was slightly higher compared to local options. That said, the product itself is top-notch, and I appreciate the reliable packaging and purity of the oil.
If you don’t mind waiting a little longer for a high-quality imported oil, MadeiriBas is a great choice. Would buy again!
