What are the varieties of coconut oil available with you?
We have Roasted, Cold Press and Virgin coconut oils with us.
What is the manufacturing process?
Roasted and Cold Press coconut oil is extracted from dried coconut/copra. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut. For cold press, copra is not roasted, but for roasted copra pieces are roasted before oil extraction. Process details are explained here
What are the raw materials used in different varieties of coconut oil like High Grade, Cold-Pressed and Virgin?
Fresh coconuts are used for Cocoguru cold-pressed virgin coconut oil.
Dried coconuts (Copra) are used for Cocoguru cold-pressed and high grade coconut cooking oils.
What is the difference between Copra and Coconut?
Coconut is the fresh fruit of the coconut tree, while Copra is the dried kernel of the coconut.
We use the copra to produce Cocoguru high grade and cold pressed coconut cooking oils, while coconut is used to produce Cocoguru cold pressed virgin coconut oil.
What is the difference between High Grade and Cold Pressed coconut cooking oils?
In Cocoguru high grade, copra pieces are roasted before oil extraction while in Cocoguru cold pressed copra pieces are not roasted before oil extraction.
Cocoguru high grade coconut oil has more taste, aroma and shelf life compared to cold pressed one.
Cocoguru high grade coconut oil is recommended for general cooking, while cold pressed is recommended for deep frying purpose. More details can be found here
Why is high grade coconut oil is yellow in colour? While I think the best quality coconut oil should be transparent white.
It is a common perception that if the oil is yellow in colour, it is made from inferior grade copra. But Cocoguru high grade coconut oil is made from superior quality copra after roasting copra pieces. Roasting of copra pieces makes the copra and oil turn golden from transparent white. Roasting of copra adds to taste, aroma and shelf life. In the case of regular coconut oil, the copra is not roasted and appears transparent white. More details can be found here
High grade coconut oil smells different from normal coconut oils but very pleasant, is any perfume added?
Roasting of copra is the reason for enhanced, pleasant aroma and taste of Cocoguru high grade coconut oil. No perfumes are added.
We are told cold pressed oils are better; why do you recommend high grade/roasted oil?
Cold pressed oils are always better than refined oils of any oil seed as the natural taste, aroma and nutrients are retained and cold pressed oils are made from higher grade oil seeds unlike refined oils.
However, here we are comparing with roasted oil, which has all the goodness of cold pressed oil, in addition to improved aroma, taste and shelf life. Hence Cocoguru recommends high grade/roasted oil to cold pressed oil.
Why don’t you have “extra” virgin coconut oil?
The Cocoguru virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconuts through cold press process. The “extra” is just a tag used in the marketing by others, and factually there is no difference in the process.
Do you have wood-pressed oil?
We don’t have wood-pressed oil. We employ steel expeller to press the oil. We believe wood-pressed oil is inferior in quality and ineffective in cost.
Quality – to press with wood, copra should not be dried. So oil will go rancid fast due to moisture. Fungus develop on wooden pores when unused and it cannot be removed easily
Cost – because wood is soft compared to steel, lesser amount of oil can be extracted, so oil goes waste in cake. Also, more labour force to required to add to cost.
Wood-pressed oil marketers build on the people’s perception that it is traditional and better.
What are the oil specifications, can you share the certificate of analysis?
Roasted and Cold Press coconut oils are filtered coconut oils. Detailed specification can be found here
Certificate of analysis done at an NABL accredited laboratory is attached here
Is your oil pure? Which variety? How do we know?
Cocoguru has strong views about food adulteration and takes every effort to prevent it.
All the varieties of Cocoguru coconut oil, namely the Cocoguru cold pressed coconut cooking oil, the Cocoguru high grade coconut cooking oil, the Cocoguru cold pressed virgin coconut oil and the Cocoguru hair oil, are all pure and of edible grade.
Coconut (dried or fresh) is the only raw material used for making Cocoguru coconut oil. Oil is extracted with minimal processing to retain the natural quality. Oil batches are regularly tested at both internal laboratory and an external NABL accredited laboratory. Food safety department randomly takes samples from the market and checks for adulteration. You are also welcome to take a random sample and check at a laboratory of your choice against parameters mentioned in BIS (IS: 542-1962).
Is it refined?
No. Cocoguru coconut oils are not refined. They are Expressed Grade IA Raw as per Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for Coconut Oil (IS:542-1968).
Cocoguru coconut oils are made from high grade coconuts and they are suitable for edible use as it is. Refined oils are made from low quality non-edible grade oils.
Does the oil solidify in winter?
Coconut oil normally solidifies below 24°C, so in winter it should solidify. However, the lower temperature should permeate through the package and reach the oil’s inner parts. This may take some time.
Do you add preservatives for long life?
No preservatives or chemicals are used in the manufacturing process of Cocoguru coconut oils.
Even Cold Pressed oil was not fully transparent but slightly yellow, why?
Even in cold press process, Copra is dried thoroughly before oil extraction. During drying, copra may turn a little yellow and hence the oil may be little yellow.
Fully transparent white coconut oils that are available in the market are made from moist copra instead of fully dried ones, and they will go rancid soon.
Is the oil sticky?
Yes, coconut oils are naturally sticky.
