Our Raw, Extra Virgin, Certified Organic Coconut Oil is the most pure, unadulterated form of coconut oil. It has not been heated, refined, chemically treated, bleached or deodorised and as such has much higher antioxidant, vitamin E and anti-microbial and medium chain fatty acid properties. It was cold pressed, not cetrifugally extracted, not heated or expeller extracted, so no Hexane or other solvents have been used in extracting the oil and nor has heat deteriorated the delicate essential fatty acids. It is grown and harvested on a small island in Fiji and the harvesting plant is powered by bio fuel that is derived from coconut husks. No child labour exploitation is involved.
