Description
100% pure premium unrefined edible coconut oil made from mature dried coconuts.
Our factory is located in Malabar region of Keralam, known for its dense and superior quality coconut meat.
Coconuts are cut and dried in a custom made smoke free dryer.
Once all moisture is taken out of the coconuts, we store the copra without using any preservatives or Sulphur.
Oil is extracted in an expeller without any external heat and left to settle in a series of settling tanks.
Cold pressing ensures that the rich aroma and the taste of fresh copra is preserved.
The coconut oil we produce has zero chemical compounds or any additives. We do not use preservatives as well.
Why don’t we refine oil?
Refining oil is done at high temperature using chemicals and solvents which makes the oil toxic and harmful for health.
Refined oil is void of nutrients and do more harm than regular cold pressed oil.
