We press only fresh, high-quality dried coconut (copra), where deterioration is minimal. That keeps free fatty acid below 0.20%, close to the level of virgin coconut oil, which typically costs about twice as much.
Also good for: salad dressing, hair and skin care, oil pulling and lighting lamps.

How it is made
Fresh mature coconuts are sun-dried into copra and dried again with hot air. The copra is cut into uniform pieces, pressed twice and filtered twice through a filter press. It is packed by machine at our facility in Puttur, in Tulu Naadu, the land of coconut growers and coconut lovers.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Well stored, it can stay good for more than a year, so we quote 6 months as a safe guide. Coconut oil solidifies in cool weather. That is natural, and it turns liquid again at room temperature or when gently warmed.
