Coconut Oil, Virgin Cold Pressed, Certified Organic, 5 gallons

Wilderness Family Naturals’ Cold Pressed Coconut Oil Virgin, unrefined coconut oil has a stronger coconut flavor and aroma and is also used for cooking, sautéing, baking, and body care. It’s ideal as a medium heat cooking oil.First, coconut meat is grated and dehydrated. This drying process is important to the taste and quality of the oil. Then, the dried coconut is gently pressed at varying degrees of pressure and temperature. No heat or chemicals are used in this process.The amount of heat generated during the processing and the details of the process can vary significantly. This is most likely the reason for the great variations in quality and taste among cold-pressed oils. They can have a toasted coconut taste (the result of high heat used on standard desiccated coconut with very low moisture) or a mild, raw coconut flavor (which results from careful, low-temperature processing) or burnt or rancid flavors (the result of poor drying).Wilderness Family Naturals’ Cold Pressed Organic Coconut Oil has a pleasant mild, coconut flavor as a result of our careful, low-temperature processing.Cold-pressing an oil delicately preserves the natural flavor, therefore our cold-pressed coconut oil has the strongest coconut flavor of all our oils. It also has a long shelf life because of its low moisture content. Quality And Taste TestingWilderness Family Naturals’ Cold-Pressed Organic Coconut Oil is:certified organicnon-GMOnon-hydrogenatedvirgincold-pressedmade from fresh coconutsIn performing blindfolded taste tests with a selected panel, we have now sampled over 50 different virgin coconut oils here at Wilderness Family Naturals. We initially sold a Traditional Filipino virgin coconut oil made by fermentation, then we sold a South Pacific virgin coconut oil (DME, direct micro-expeller extracted). We have also sold centrifuged coconut oils from other sources. Through the years, we have discontinued carrying many of these oils as better quality virgin coconut oils were discovered. It is important to us to know which oils come out the winner in blindfolded taste-tests. In addition, we look at laboratory analysis data and certificates of analysis on every oil submitted to us. It is our desire to only carry the highest quality virgin coconut oils, with the longest shelf life.
