Certified Organic, Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Centrifuge Extracted, 1 Quart
Our Centrifuged coconut oil is made from fresh coconuts opened less than 48 hours after they are picked from the trees. They first shell the coconuts and then chop the flesh, placing it in an expeller press. The temperatures of the coconut flesh and the resulting coconut milk emulsion do not exceed 25° C or 78.8° F (room temperature). Once the coconut is shelled, it takes less than 45 minutes to produce the milk. The resulting coconut milk emulsion is then chilled slightly to 10° C (50° F) so that the oil will pull out of solution. In other words, the chilling helps to break the protein emulsion that holds the oils in solution. Next, the cooled milk, by use of a large centrifuge, is separated into the pure oil that we sell here and a skim coconut milk. This method of extraction requires no heat at all. It works like a cream separator that is used for separating cream from cows milk. It requires quite a few passes through this chilled centrifuge to obtain pure oil, but the resulting oil is absolutely fabulous. The one thing that sets this oil apart, even from our other oils, and definitely from all other virgin coconut oils is its high Lauric acid content. Lauric acid is the fatty acid with 12 carbons in it, and has been the subject of much research in recent years. It is the major medium chain fat that has been studied by the National Institute of Health, Medical Doctors and Ph.D.s doing medical research. Most coconut oils contain 46-49% Lauric acid, although some coconut oils test out as low as 42%. Our special centrifuged oil contains a whopping 57% Lauric acid!! In addition, this coconut oil is higher in medium chain fatty acids than any other coconut oil we have seen, and it contains virtually no polyunsaturated fats.
