HOW
OUR TRADITIONAL PHILIPPINE COCONUT OIL IS MADE
For generations in the Philippines they have been making virgin
coconut oil by hand, using a traditional Philippine method of
extraction. First the fresh coconuts are opened and grated. Then the flesh
is pressed, yielding a fresh coconut milk
emulsion that is approximately 40% oil. The milk is called an emulsion
because there is a natural protein that holds the oil in solution. Within
about 12 hours, however, the natural enzymes from the coconut will break
down this protein, releasing the oil. This process has been studied and
now perfected by our manufacturers in the Philippines and professors at
the neighboring university.
As the oil floats, it is siphoned off and made ready for
export to the United States. This oil, unlike other traditionally processed
Philippine oils, is never heated. While most traditionally
processed Philippine virgin coconut oils experience temperatures
close to the boiling point of water (200° F), our suppliers in the
Philippines, in their R & D department, have discovered that the micronutrients
in the oil are altered at temperatures above 50° C (140° F). Experiments
done by Aajonus Vonderplanitz, a leading raw-foodist, have shown that
the naturally occurring enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 96°
F. Most raw-foodists, however, prefer to use food that does not see heat
above 117° F. Our manufacturers have perfected the fermentation process
so that our virgin coconut oil, made the traditional way, has a very low
moisture content without having to heat the oil at all.
