The raw form of coconut oil has been consumed by Sri Lankans for generations. We are determined to share this experience and its health benefits with the rest of the world.
The unrefined coconut oil comes straight from the mill and contains all the natural components available in coconuts in the purest form.
This oil is superior in quality compared to normal crude coconut oil in terms of colour and levels of impurities, as this oil is obtained from the highest quality copra available and undergoes a filtration step.
