<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Borneo tallow nut oil''' is extracted from the fruit of species of genus ''[[Shorea]]'', which is native to [[Sarawak]], [[Borneo]], [[Java]], [[Malaya]] and the [[Philippines]]. The oil is extracted from the egg-shaped, winged fruit using traditional methods in rural areas. The nuts, once extracted from the shell, are placed in a [[rattan]] bag, which is placed between two hardwood boards, and then pressed by driving in wedges.<ref>{{cite news<br />
