Oil - macnut or locally derived coconut oil (can be bought at new store in Pahoa called "Young Coconuts" "Localvores" next to NY Pizza Restaurant).
Salt, it is preferred if you would use the Hawaiian clay salt, but even that uses clay from HI but sea salt from NZ, so we'll let that one slide - any sea salt. 
Sugar can be from Maui. 
All the spices need to be locally grown and harvested.
Meat & Dairy needs to be locally sourced
