    How We Partner

    Our Speciality Oils

    Mild in flavor with a high smoke point, avocado oil is a best seller for its versatility. Rich in monounsaturated fats, both our standard and Codex options are trusted across food, wellness, and skincare applications.

    Delicate and lightly nutty, sweet almond oil shines in gourmet dishes like salads and pastries while doubling as a stand-out personal care oil, often in aromatherapy, massage blends, and natural skincare.

    Lightweight, gentle, and prized in personal care. Apricot kernel oil moisturizes sensitive skin and acts as a carrier for essential oils. In the kitchen, its subtle nutty flavor elevates dressings, marinades, and even vegan baking.

    A natural multitasker, castor oil delivers emollient benefits for personal care and remains valued in wellness and medicinal uses. Its high ricinoleic acid content makes it a reliable choice for skincare, haircare, and industrial applications.
    Jojoba oil is prized for its natural compatibility with human skin. Its emollient, non-greasy texture provides long-lasting hydration and stability, making it a key ingredient in premium lotions, moisturizers, shampoos, and conditioners.
    Grapeseed oil offers a clean taste and natural high-heat stability, making it a favorite for sautéing, dressings, and gourmet applications. Its lightweight feel and fast absorption also make it valuable in skincare and pharmaceutical formulations. Available in Non-GMO and conventional formats.

    Whether RBD or toasted, sesame oil adds warm, nutty depth to stir-fries, marinades, sauces, and dressings. A staple of gourmet kitchens and global cuisines, it delivers both flavor and dependable performance.

    Neutral in flavor with an elevated smoke point, rice bran oil is excellent for frying, baking, and health-conscious cooking. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies consider it a staple in production for its stability and balanced nutrition.

    With a mild, buttery flavor and high smoke point, macadamia nut oil has the trifecta of characteristics for gourmet condiments and light sautéing. Its rich monounsaturated fats and easy absorption also make it a crucial ingredient in skincare and body care products.

    Rich and naturally nourishing, shea butter is a staple for soaps, skincare, and cosmetics. Its protective properties, smooth texture, and emollient benefits make it essential for lotions, sun care, balms, and other personal care formulations.

    Red wine and balsamic vinegars bring bright acidity and depth to dressings, marinades, sauces, and prepared foods. Known for their clean flavor and consistent performance, they’re essential ingredients for culinary applications, private label lines, and large-scale production.

    Specialty Oil FAQs

    Avocado oil is one of the most versatile specialty oils available — rich in monounsaturated fats, clean in flavor, and exceptionally heat-stable. At Catania, it’s also verified Non-GMO and available in both Codex and conventional formats, making it ideal for culinary, personal care, and wellness applications.

    Catania Oils is leading the industry with advanced testing and proactive quality standards that already exceed upcoming Codex guidelines. Our Head of Quality Assurance co-authored a study with Purity-IQ introducing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with Multivariate Statistical Analysis to rapidly and accurately detect adulteration. Each sample is compared against our validated spectral library and cross-checked with IOC-approved gas chromatography.

    By investing early in these methods, we verify every lot for purity, detect even trace adulterants, and provide transparent documentation. This work demonstrates our commitment to staying ahead of regulations and ensuring buyers receive authentic, unadulterated avocado oil.

    We offer complete flexibility, from 8-oz retail bottles to 35-lb foodservice containers, drums, totes, and tank wagons for bulk manufacturing. Our team can also develop custom private-label packaging and fill formats to meet your brand or production needs.

    Yes. Our specialty oils meet the purity, safety, and performance standards required across industries, from food and beverage to cosmetics and nutraceuticals. Partnering with Catania Oils means simplifying your supply chain while maintaining traceable, certified quality in every application.

    Specialty oils shine in both culinary and non-culinary applications. In food production, they’re valued for clean flavor, nutritional benefits, and high performance in cooking, dressings, and plant-based formulations. Beyond the kitchen, many — such as avocado, almond, and shea — deliver exceptional stability and skin compatibility, making them staples in cosmetics, wellness, and personal-care products.
