As a culinary expert, owner of many restaurant business models and having an endless passion for creating dishes, CEO - chef Huy Tran said his success comes from being "picky" with many high standards in choosing cooking ingredients, including cooking oil.

According to him, cooking oil is not only an important ingredient for fried and stir-fried dishes, but also the secret to making the dish attractive in both appearance and taste. Huy Tran said that he spent a lot of time researching and experimenting, choosing different types of cooking oil and chose brown rice oil.

He said that the "fate" to know brown rice oil lies in his admiration for the raw materials from his homeland - the world's leading rice granary. "Huy's friends abroad use it a lot and this is a popular consumption trend in the world because brown rice oil has many benefits for the cardiovascular system and is recommended for use by the World Health Organization (WHO); cardiovascular associations in developed countries such as the US, New Zealand... But when asked, I found out that the price of brown rice oil in other countries is very high, 2-3 times higher than in Vietnam".

Vietnam is considered to have the advantage of local raw materials to produce high quality brown rice oil at reasonable prices. However, not all manufacturers are capable of meeting the standard requirements and overcoming the "challenges" to successfully produce high quality brown rice oil.

A representative of Calofic Company Limited - the successful producer of Simply brown rice oil - said: "Brown rice oil must be produced on a modern machinery system and a closed production process. In the process, there are 3 key stages including purchasing, extraction and refining. Each stage plays the role of a link in the chain, in which, in addition to technology, it also requires experience, dedication and meticulousness of the team to be able to create each bottle of high-quality brown rice oil."

This is the first step but plays a decisive role in the quality of the finished brown rice oil. Therefore, the standards set in the bran purchasing process are very strict.

In addition to the set of standards including measurement indicators such as oil content, free fatty acids, moisture, impurities, fiber, protein, etc., the purchasing team needs to use extensive experience to evaluate the quality of rice bran by senses through yellow color and aroma to know if the bran is fresh or has been stored for a long time.

After purchasing, the bran must be heat-treated within 6 hours of being separated from the rice grain. This is a standard set in the production process of Simply pure brown rice oil, because the longer the rice bran membrane is left, the more the quality of the oil in the bran decreases, affecting the quality of the finished brown rice oil product later.

Crude oil must go through 7 complex refining steps using modern technology to remove impurities. The steps are carried out under the supervision of highly technical staff, processed in a closed and vacuum system.

Each stage has its own set of regulations and evaluation criteria that the production team must strictly adhere to. Some of these refining steps require continuous evaluation and testing every 4 hours to ensure quality.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Tu, consumers should choose brown rice oil from reputable manufacturers with extensive experience and investment in advanced technology in the production process. Because in reality, to successfully produce brown rice oil and retain the maximum nutritional content from brown rice grains requires a modern, rigorous extraction and refining process.

In Vietnam, with the advantage of scale and investment potential, Calofic Company Limited, a member of Wilmar Singapore Group, is one of the units that successfully produces and launches 100% pure Simply brown rice oil and is recognized as an official member of the International Association of Rice Bran Oil (IARBO).

Simply pure brown rice oil retains valuable nutrients from brown rice bran membrane and has been widely accepted in developed markets such as New Zealand, Australia...

Brown rice oil is gradually becoming familiar in many Vietnamese kitchens and has won the affection and trust of many Vietnamese stars such as: Huy Tran, singer Hien Thuc, actress Quynh Kool...

Brown rice oil is gradually proving its potential as a "gold mine" for cardiovascular health in Vietnam.
