Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

For thousands of years coconut oil has been used around the world as a food and pharmaceutical, recognised as one of the most nutritious of oils.  

This changed in 1954 and for decades coconut oil was demonised as a "bad" saturated fat.  This ignored the fact that some saturated fat is necessary for human health.  Coconut oil is unique due to its medium chain fatty acids, the closest to those found in human breast milk.  Medium chain fatty acids, or MCT's, are more easily digested than fats found in other oils.  These are processed directly in the liver and converted into energy, meaning less strain on our digestive system.

Virgin coconut oil is very stable and very resistant to free radical generation when heated, even at high temperatures.  Pure virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconuts, not Copra, which is used in many coconut oils.  Copra oils have to be refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) to make them fit for human consumption, resulting in an odourless and flavourless product.

The virgin coconut oil we offer is fairly traded and is certified organic through the entire process, growing, harvesting, production, repackaging and labelling.  Any oil not conforming to the above is not organic.
