Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained by expelling fresh coconut meat by a cold press process. The freshness of coconuts used make sure the final oil has the characteristic fresh coconut aroma, while the cold press process ensures the retention of Nutrients. Also, the brown colour Testa around the coconut meat is removed before expelling to make sure the final product is clear in colour. Virgin is best for hair and skin appliances.
Whereas, refined/RBD oil is obtained from expelling the dried coconut meat (Copra) and the oil goes through a high temperature refining process to reduce odour, colour and free fatty acids. RBD is perfect for high temperature cooking.
Feel free to contact our merchandisers. They will introduce you to our quality department for further information on quality & processes.
In a Cold press process, oil is obtained by pressing coconut meat using oil expeller machines that involves no additional chemicals or heat. The temperature throughout the processing line is maintained below the standard level of 55 Celsius. The process ensures maximum amounts of nutrients such as antioxidants retained in the final product, and with a better shelf life. The process is also deemed to be environmentally friendly comparatively to other methods.
