Mazola in Malaysia
In Malaysia, Mazola is more than just an oil — it’s a household name passed down through generations. It’s the familiar bottle that appears during every major celebration, most famously in Biskut Mazola, the soft, crumbly peanut biscuit loved during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and Deepavali.
Beyond festive treats, Malaysian home cooks trust Mazola for daily dishes — from sambal tumis to golden fried chicken — valuing its lightness, consistency, and reliability.
A Legacy Since 1911, Thriving in Asia
Mazola’s story began in 1911 with a groundbreaking innovation — the world’s first corn oil. Over the decades, the brand has flourished in Asia — in markets like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Brunei — winning local cooks’ trust for bringing reliability, lighter flavour, and healthier options into the kitchen.
How Mazola Made Its Mark in Southeast Asia
In Malaysia and neighbouring countries, Mazola’s corn-based and other plant oils have become staples in everyday cooking. Because many Southeast Asian cuisines involve frying, stir-frying, grilling, and using mild-tasting oils, Mazola’s lighter aroma and smooth texture suit regional tastes well. It has held its own against many local and imported brands by being consistent, dependable, and versatile.
Additionally, Mazola has adapted to regional needs. For example:
- It is recognised by local bodies for quality and health compliance.
- It is widely sold in typical purchasing sizes for Southeast Asian households.
- It features in traditional recipes and seasonal baking (e.g. biscuits for festive occasions) — holding a place in homes, not just shops.
Recognised for Quality and Health
Mazola’s reputation for excellence is backed by multiple Natural Health Readers’ Choice Awards (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2020), reflecting its consistent quality and strong consumer trust. The brand is certified Halal, verified by GHDP for hygiene, and produced under Codaa Switzerland AG to meet strict international standards. With the Healthier Choice label for being trans fat free and lower in saturated fat, Mazola continues to set the standard for healthier, dependable cooking oils across Asia.
