Sunora Foods, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has its roots in canola oil. The very name "Sunora" is derived from the sun golden canola flowers that grow in the fields in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies. Sunora is internationally recognized for its canola oil and related canola products and is a major Canadian exporter of food oil. With the growing recognition of the potential health benefits of canola oil, Sunora has grown substantially over the last decade. Its introduction of canola oil into new markets has elicited the support of health practitioners and nutritionists, and even the occasional endorsement of a head of state.
Although Sunora Foods has its roots in canola oil, many customers turn to Sunora for other food oils and canola margarine. Sunora has become a major importer of olive oils and takes special pride in the taste and quality of its extra virgin olive oil. It now has a significant presence in Canadian olive oil trading. To other customers, Sunora means corn oil or soybean oil or sunflower oil. With its international trading capabilities, the company is often the best and most cost-effective source of corn oil, soybean oil and sunflower oil.
In addition to mainstream food oils, Sunora is a significant player in both expeller extracted and organic food oils. These products appeal to customers looking for a more natural approach to their food. Sunora expeller extracted and organic products are packed under strict protocols with appropriate controls in place. Our organic products, in particular, are certified by Quality Assurance International, a leading certifier of organic products.
Specific Sunora products are designed for retail, food service and food processing applications. Bottled food oil is offered in both metric and U.S. sizes. Food service products are generally offered in the convenient so-called Jug-in-Box. Drummed oil and other bulk products are available to food processors. Sunora Foods is particularly proud of its high quality bottled products, its high performance canola-based food service products and its extra virgin olive oil.
