How is our coconut oil is produced?
There are different methods of producing coconut oil. However, we combine old reliable methods with modern technology to ensure the preservation of natural properties of the organic coconut oil.
The first aspect we carefully consider is the age of coconut as the harvesting of coconut significantly contributes to oil making process. Therefore, coconuts are around of 10-20 months when picked.
Next step, raw fresh coconut's flesh is cold pressed followed by filtering process.
As the coconut contains oil and water, the oil only needs to be extracted. For the purpose of separation we use centrifuges as a modern technique. The main advantage of this method of processing is that no chemical additives have been used. We can guarantee the high quality of our product determined by preservation of its natural composition, beneficial minerals and vitamins and fresh coconut smell.
