Another question for the Aussies...

Hello everyone Just wondering if Wooly's sell palm oil. I know Frymasta is actually palm oil but I don't think our Wooly's carries it Would it be in the same place as Lard and Copha? Thanks in advance

Yep, it'll be in the fridge in the same general area. My woolies doesn't carry it, I have to get it from our local IGA.

Mind you, it can get expensive buying palm oil that way!

 

[Vonna]

Yeah, I think I'd rather just order it from a soap supplier that way I can buy bulk to support my soaping "habit"

I also have trouble finding it, and just bought some online. Its not at my local Coles, Woolies, Aldi or IGA. I did find some at one stage but it was a 20min drive away. It seems to be very variable as to whether it is available or not

Hi Vonna
Supafry is tallow, the no-name solid oil is tallow, frymasta (yellow wrapper)is palm oil. My woolworths don't sell frymasta but they do sell supafry and copha. I have found coles sells frymasta. But yes it is an expensive way of getting it, but it will get you out of a rut.

Hey Vonna, not sure if you have a Farmer Pats near you, but I stumbled accross both Frymasta and Superfry AND corn oil AND Soyabeen oil (the last 2 oils are very hard to get where I am so this was a big bonus for me)

I went to wooly's the other night and saw the copha, I was shocked, last time I brought the stuff it was 99 cents now it's like 2 dollars something :x

Yeah it's criminal how much prices have went up even in the last two years. I had a look online and I'm actually going back home next week to visit family (sunshine coast) and theres a supplier at Noosa that I'm going to go buy off of that way I don't have to pay shipping costs either Bonus!

woolies doesnt sell it near me but coles down the road does and yep its in a yellow frymasta wrapper.

I wonder if its the sort of thing you might find in ethnic foodstores? maybe an asian grocery store?
