Azeite de Dendê

Palm oil (dendê oil or red palm oil)

 

Used in Brazilian and West African cooking palm or dende oil is made from the kernel of the palm fruit. The oil is thick and red-orange in color with a nutty flavor and high in saturated fat. Use to flavor stews and sauces, even used in some dessert recipes.

 

This is not the same as palm kernel oil which is used to produce some margerines as well as cosmetics.
