Description
- The fresh coconuts are opened and grated.
- Then the grated coconut is dehydrated at low temperatures, drying the coconut into fresh, crisp flakes.
- These flakes are then "pressed" to yield delicious oil that also contains many of the nutrients and flavors of the fresh coconut.
- This oil is a bit cloudy because of the proteins and other components it contains, so it is then placed into a centrifuge to "spin out" the fine particles and clarify the oil.
The most modern manufacturing technique allows for the manufacture of raw coconut oil which does not contain any of the microscopic proteins many manufacturers still struggle to overcome. It has a mild coconut flavor and is delicious in baked goods. It is delightfully pure oil and likely to be a favorite of those who love to eat coconut oil right off the spoon.
This oil is an excellent, high-quality virgin coconut oil made by dehydrating the flesh of the coconut and then pressing out the oil. This virgin coconut oil rivals our Centrifuge Extracted Coconut Oil for taste and quality, but it can have a slightly stronger coconut taste. (The taste may not always be stronger than the centrifuge extracted oil -- It varies from crop to crop and year to year.)
This coconut oil comes in a 1-gallon bucket, and we suggest you take a look at our pail opener to help make opening the bucket an easy job.
