The fruit of an alliance
between Food Ingredients
and Huilerie de Lapalisse

Holéo was born from the meeting of two French family businesses: Food Ingredients, a specialist in flavourings and flavoured oils, and the Huilerie de Lapalisse, a plant-based oil producer for over a century.

Together, they developed a simple and delicious alternative to butter, combining expertise in natural flavourings with oil-making know-how.
