Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil

Wilderness Family Naturals offers a high quality certified organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil as an economical choice for high temperature cooking. This oil is mechanically expressed without the use of solvents or chemicals of any kind. It is an excellent quality food-grade coconut oil that is NOT hydrogenated and contains NO trans fatty acids. Expeller-pressed coconut oil has a neutral flavor (because it is refined), yet it contains the same healthy fatty acids as virgin coconut oil. This certified organic Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil is less expensive than virgin coconut oil because it can be mass produced. The coconuts are opened and quickly dried. The dried coconuts are then mechanically pressed to remove the oil, without using chemical solvents. Any free fatty acids are removed, the oil is run through diatomaceous earth, and lastly, the oil is steam distilled. This yields a very pure, uncontaminated coconut oil. Though not a virgin oil, it still melts at 76 ° F, is very light and creamy smooth, containing the same medium chain fatty acids as virgin coconut oil. People in Southeast Asian countries, such as the Philippines, use this as their main cooking oil.

Note: This oil is tested for aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites produced by certain fungi in and on foods. They are probably the best known and most extensively researched mycotoxins in the world. Aflatoxins have been associated with various diseases , such as aflatoxicosis, in livestock , domestic animals and humans. Aflatoxins have received greater attention than any other mycotoxins because of their demonstrated potent carcinogenic effect in susceptible laboratory animals, and their acute toxicological effects in humans. Any oil that is not made from fresh coconuts could potentially contain aflatoxins. I believe it is important that any expeller-pressed oil be checked for aflatoxins. Every drop of Wilderness Family Naturals' certified organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil has also been certified to be aflatoxin-free.

For raw virgin coconut oil that sees absolutely no heat during processing see our Traditional Philippine and Centrifuged Virgin Coconut Oils. These are the oils that we recommend you take as a daily supplement, because they are raw and still have live enzymes. But for those times when you are going to heat up your coconut oil for cooking and baking, we think that the Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is a wonderful alternative that can save you money.
