Is the Virgin Coconut Oil cold-pressed?Updated 10 days ago

Our Regenerative Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is made using a “dry process,” and we only use regenerative organic and fair trade coconuts that are grown and harvested by our Serendipol’s (our sister company) organic farmers. 

Our VCO is then expeller pressed, which refers to the method of pressing the oil. This means that our VCO is extracted from these dried flakes purely mechanically, using an expeller press, without the use of any solvents.

The term “cold-pressed” refers to the temperature at which the oil drips from the expeller. This term is not well-defined, but most oil millers agree that “cold pressed” means the dripping temperature of the oil is less than 140°F (60°C). Since our VCO has a dripping temperature of 130°F, one may call it cold-pressed; however, some purists believe “cold-pressed” means a dripping temperature of 120°F or less. For this reason, we describe our VCO as being expeller-pressed.
