How to Obtain
Cooking Oil is purchased from grocer's shops in towns throughout Hernand and the wider world.

Check each shop's actual quantity and price.
Grocer's shops in most settlements carry Cooking Oil as a standard item.
Stock up early in the game. Cooking Oil is used in many recipes, so having a supply on hand saves return trips.
