Star Oil
Description
A versatile, affordable cooking oil suitable for frying, sautéing, and food preparation.
Star Oil is a popular cooking oil used in many households. It is commonly available as either vegetable oil (mild flavor, light color) or palm oil (rich, red color with a distinct earthy taste). The oil's high smoke point makes it ideal for deep-frying, shallow-frying, and general cooking. Its neutral flavor profile (as a vegetable oil) ensures it does not overpower dishes, while maintaining food texture and consistency.
