What is virgin coconut oil

Virgin Coconut oil

Virgin coconut is about 69% coconut fat, as is creamed coconut. Unfiltered coconut milk is approximately 24% fat. Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being transformed into a substance called "monolaurin" in the human body. Pure coconut oil that is raw and unrefined made from virgin coconuts is a savior food and a complete warrior for the aerobic bacteria in the intestinal war to reclaim your health.

Virgin coconut oil is made by first harvesting fully grown brown organic coconuts. The flesh of the inside of the coconut. The fresh coconut meat is then used to press out the oil contained in the flesh. The coconut meat must be dried then cold pressed in order to extract the oil. Often times this process can still produce quite a bit of heat although the claim is of “cold pressed”. Another method used to obtain Virgin coconut oil is by way of wet milling. Using this method the coconut is harvested meat removed the the fresh “milk” of the coconut is extracted using pressure. The oil is then separated from the liquid coconut milk by way of centrifuge extraction. Other lesser means of the separation of oil from milk can include fermentation or boiling which we do not support.

The only difference we have been able to make between “Virgin Coconut oil” and refined coconut oil is the scent and taste. Although the quality of the “Virgin Coconut oils” also differ according to the land the coconuts were grown on and the mineral content in the soil. We have had many very reputable companies giver us samples of their “Virgin Coconut oil” and although we knew it wasn't heated in the extraction process the coconuts used initially to produce their “Virgin Coconut oil” were inferior. We warn you to look out for any coconut oil which have a burnt smokey flavor for they are considered “crude oil” mass produced which has missed the deodorizing process lesser grade coconut oil have to go through. Looking back now I cannot believe my first bottle of “Virgin Coconut oil” I ever purchased from one of the “Absolute best raw food authorities” had a burnt taste and I didn't even know any better because of my lack of experience with coconut oil at the time. Our Ultimate Grade “Virgin Coconut Oil” is grown in biodynamic mineral rich soil and then cold centrifuge extracted. We really have the best of the best virgin coconut oil and it has taken 10 years to be able to stake that claim.
