All our Virgin Coconut oil is hand pressed. The Direct Micro Expelling Coconut oil press and process enables families living in remote islands to hand-make one of the world's freshest virgin coconut oils within an hour of opening the coconut without the need to leave their village or travel to the mainland.

Unlike the production of copra, which is heavy backbreaking work, the DME system can be operated comfortably by women, youth and even the disabled. It provides an entire micro-economy of jobs and opportunities for everyone in the village.

With so many brands on the market it’s hard to know which coconut oil to choose, especially when one is $6.99 and other is $16.99 for the same size jar.

Cheap coconut oils are often mass produced copra oil made in factories from coconuts that have been left open for days or even weeks. The oil is often low quality and requires refinement through bleaching and deodorizing with harsh solvents and chemicals. This process removes the oil's natural anti-oxidants and destroys it's pure flavour and aroma.

Our refined oil is clay filter refined in New Zealand under AUS and NZ certified and licensed Food Safety HACCP rules and contains no additives or contaminants.
