EFFO (Effective For Frying Oil) changes the way we think about cooking oil - for the better. And due to its extensive purification process, it's a truly healthy cooking oil that has reached the U.S. food market.
If you haven't heard of the new, best cooking oil for frying yet, your tastebuds are in for a big surprise.
Who is EFFO?
Michelin Star Chef and James Beard Award winner Johnny Clark is known for his exceptional culinary skills that have captivated the people of Chicago with flavors from Ukraine, and one of his "secret weapons" has been using the best oil to deep fry, EFFO.
EFFO oil is a brand from UKROLIYA, a company that has been producing sunflower oil since 2001.
The Ukraine-based company exports its oil to 50+ countries worldwide and produces all of its products in two main facilities in:
- Dikanka
- Zinkiv
Following centuries-old traditions, the company employs the highest quality control standards and connects with farmers through unique associations. Mutually beneficial cooperations allow EFFO oil to be made from the best ingredients with the richest of flavors.
EFFO oil was not the first product introduced by UKROLIYA. In fact, it was launched in 2017 after years of research and development.
Chef Johnny Clark used to rely on vegetable oil for frying, but he has since changed to EFFO oil and has received great praise from his customers. As a chef from the Anelya restaurant in Chicago, Clark knows that his guests demand only the best ingredients.
EFFO oil has been a complete game-changer for the Ukrainian dishes Clark prepares for patrons, such as:
- Dumplings
- Borshch
- Many others
What's the best part? EFFO oil is safe and healthy, which makes it perfect for the health-conscious consumer who doesn't want greasy oils to impact their health.
Due to its longevity, chefs can replace most oils in the kitchen with EFFO, reducing waste and making even fried foods healthier in the process.
At McDonald Paper & Restaurant Supplies, we're happy to announce that we've partnered with the maker of EFFO to bring this revolutionary oil to the U.S. market.

What Makes EFFO Oil So Special?
EFFO, considered a high oleic sunflower oil, is different. Derived from the heart of Ukraine, this non-GMO oil is healthier, safer, and free from the bad fats that everyone should avoid. Thanks to its unique purification process (more on that soon), this oil offers many benefits over:
- Olive oil
- Vegetable oil
- So many others
You can add virtually any cooking oil to the list above and will find that EFFO is superior in a multitude of ways.
If you're unsure of how your restaurant can benefit from EFFO, it's as simple as considering the following benefits:
Up to 100% Increase in Frying Cycles
One of the greatest advantages of EFFO oil is its impressive efficiency. A high-oleic fatty acid profile makes this professional deep fry oil more resistant during the frying process.
Enhanced resistance means that EFFO oil can increase frying cycles up to 100% or more.
For restaurant kitchens, where frying is a non-stop process, greater efficiency translates to valuable savings and a more productive team.
Lasts 3 Times Longer Than Other Oils
Thanks to its high resistance to oxidation, EFFO oil lasts three times longer than the oil you're currently using.
A longer shelf life allows restaurants to save on costs without compromising on quality.
Enhances Your Food's Natural Flavor
With EFFO oil, customers enjoy the natural taste of the fresh ingredients you put into your dishes.
Chefs across the globe choose EFFO as their preferred neutral oil for cooking because it enhances flavors while creating a delicious, crispy crust. Unlike other oils, EFFO won't leave a greasy aftertaste behind and has much less absorption in products.
Seven levels of purification help produce a truly neutral taste and smell, allowing chefs to use this oil in a variety of ways. From deep-frying to pan-frying, grilling, sauces and salad dressings, EFFO oil is highly versatile.
And because cooked food stays fresher for longer, EFFO greatly enhances the quality of any dish.
It does all of this without compromising on health.
Non-GMO, Non-Allergenic, Heart-Healthy
EFFO offers a healthier deep fryer oil for restaurants serving health-conscious customers. High oleic sunflower oil is prized for its rich Omega-9 (monounsaturated oleic acid) content, which is comparable to levels found in olive oil (82%).
Research has found that monounsaturated fats, like those found in EFFO oil, can support heart health. In fact, one study found that they increase "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels.
The Omega-9 content is impressive, but EFFO also offers other advantages, including being:
- Non-GMO
- Non-allergenic
- Trans-fat-free
Many commercial vegetable oils contain unhealthy trans fats that can increase cholesterol levels. EFFO offers an alternative option for restaurants that want to enhance both the flavor and the health of their dishes.
Greater Safety, Thanks to a Higher Smoke Point
EFFO is a high heat cooking oil with a smoke point of 455°F, allowing foods to be cooked at optimal frying temperatures safely and efficiently.
Fried foods maintain their aesthetic appeal and nutritional quality, a big win for chefs.
Why are high smoke points important?
If you've ever fried food before, you know that there's a point where the oil will start smoking, also known as an oil's "smoke point." For most chefs, a high smoke point is preferred because it increases the versatility of the oil.
Chefs who want to sear or sauté benefit from high smoke points as well as anyone who cooks up delightful fried foods. If you want to make a stir fry, you can also use EFFO oil because of its high smoke point.
So, not only is a high smoke point beneficial for the overall versatility of your chefs but it is also safer. Of course, efficiency isn't the only area where the manufacturer has changed the way people appreciate EFFO.
Ergonomic and Eco-Friendly Packaging Designed with Chefs in Mind
Beyond flavor and efficiency, EFFO designed its packaging with ergonomics and eco-friendliness in mind, offering:
- 80% less plastic when compared to JIB (Jug-in-Box)
- 100% recyclability
- A polyethylene pouch
- A slimmer profile for easy storage that won't take up much space in the kitchen
With EFFO, restaurant kitchens can help reduce their environmental footprint while saving on costs and space. This is just one more example of how the company creates its products with chefs and their needs in mind.
EFFO Oil is Transforming Restaurant Kitchens
With its high versatility and wealth of benefits, EFFO oil is transforming restaurant kitchens across the globe and has captivated Michelin Star chefs. But you'll also find this oil in the kitchens of brands that are household names, including KFC, the Hard Rock Cafe, Fairmont Grand Hotel, and other establishments.
From cost savings to enhanced flavors and greater efficiency, there are so many reasons for restaurants to incorporate this oil into their kitchens.
EFFO oil brings a unique combination of healthy ingredients and fresh flavors to fried foods across the United States and over 70 countries. From its unique purification process to its longevity and high smoke point, this oil can change the face of your kitchen with delectable flavors and properties that you won't find anywhere else.
