If you cook often, you know your oil bottle gets a lot more action than it gets credit for. It’s the kind of staple you reach for daily, whether you’re frying eggs, sautéing vegetables, or making weekend caldereta. So when Heart Mate Canola Oil—a trusted kitchen companion for many Filipinos—rolls out a new look, it’s all about making cooking just a little easier, a little more thoughtful.
Heart Mate, one of the country’s leading canola oil brand, has unveiled a new bottle design that quietly rethinks form and function. It’s slimmer, easier to grip, and compact enough to slide into crowded kitchen shelves. Designed by a French designer, the bottle is refined without being flashy, proving that even everyday items deserve better design.
Beyond the aesthetics, though, the redesign marks a milestone: Heart Mate is celebrating 25 years in the Filipino kitchen. And instead of going big with gimmicks, the brand chose to focus on something that home cooks would actually appreciate—a bottle that fits better into their routines.
The new bottle features a subtle heart-shaped emblem that also doubles as an “H” and “M,” along with textured panels that add grip and distinction. It’s a small but deliberate upgrade—one that looks premium and feels personal at the same time. The oil itself hasn’t changed, and that’s the point. It’s still the same 100% pure canola oil that’s low in saturated fat, rich in omega-3 and omega-6, and carries zero cholesterol.
Fly Ace Corporation, the company behind Heart Mate, knows that loyalty isn’t built overnight. Their oil has been a top choice for over a decade not just because of health claims, but because it works—from fast weekday meals to special occasion dishes.
“We didn’t want just a prettier bottle,” said Abigail Ng-Reyes, VP for Marketing at Fly Ace. “We wanted something people would feel proud to have on their counter — because it reflects the care they put into the food they make.”
It’s a reminder that even the most familiar items in the kitchen can evolve—not for the sake of trend, but for the people who use them every day.
