Oleyl cetyl alcohol can be produced by the hydrogenation of oleic acid esters by Bouveault–Blanc reduction, which avoids reduction of the C=C group (as would occur with usual catalytic hydrogenation). 
The required oleate esters are obtained from beef fat, fish oil, and, in particular, olive oil (from which it gains its name). 
The original procedure was reported by Louis Bouveault in 1904 and subsequently refined.
