Sourcing

From La Ceiba
to your formulation.

There is one true source of Elaeis oleifera. Here is where it grows, who harvests it, and how every shipment stays traceable end to end.

La Ceiba grove
The Only True Source

La Ceiba,
Honduras.

The American oil palm grows wild in the rainforests of La Ceiba — the Atlántida region on Honduras's northern coast. It does not grow in the places most "batana" is shipped from. Geography is the first proof of authenticity.
