Certified Organic, Centrifuged Coconut Oil

HOW OUR CERTIFIED ORGANIC CENTRIFUGED COCONUT OIL IS MADE
Our Centrifuged Coconut Oil is USDA Certified Organic by Integrity Certified International. It 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 cow’s milk. It requires quite a few passes through this chilled centrifuge to obtain pure oil, but the resulting oil is absolutely fabulous.

TASTE TESTING
In performing a blindfolded taste tests on each other, Ken and I have now sampled over 50 different virgin coconut oils. We initially had sold a different traditional Philippine virgin coconut oil, then we sold a South Pacific virgin coconut oil. We discontinued carrying both of these oils after finding new virgin coconut oils of higher quality. We always like 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.

Our current centrifuged, virgin coconut oil is creamy and smooth when it is in a semi-solid state. It is completely clear like spring water when it is in a liquid state. It is pure white when it is in a solid state (like in the dead of winter, when we are all wearing winter coats and freezing our toes off). It has a very mild, light coconut taste. This oil consistently rates number one every time it is taste-tested. Our Traditional Philippine Virgin Coconut Oil now rivals it. As a matter of fact, many people are not be able to tell a difference between these two oils. But those that eat coconut oil raw, with very discriminating taste buds, should notice a slight difference.

More Virgin Coconut Oil Information

LAURIC ACID
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. It is the lauric acid that becomes 2-monolauren in the gut. Most coconut oils contain 46-49% lauric acid, although some coconut oils test out as low as 42%. Our special centrifuged oil, unlike all the others, 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.

Coconut Oil and Heart Health
While many people may be avoiding coconut oil and other tropical oils because of warnings about saturated fat, they may not have heard that recent scientific evidence separates natural, unrefined saturated oils from hydrogenated trans fatty acids.  Long term epidemiological studies on communities who derive large portions of their calories from saturated fat from coconuts and coconut oils show no evidence of an increase in heart disease or any unfavorable cholesterol balance.  These populations enjoy much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than we do in the United States, even though they consume large amounts of saturated fat and medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil.  However, they consume little to no trans fatty acids from hydrogenated oils.

The FDA and the US Department of Health estimate that artificially hydrogenated trans fats, the type found in fast food, processed junk foods and pastries cause hundreds of fatal heart attacks every year. These are the dangerous saturated fatty acids that we should be limiting in our diet, not naturally pure, healthy coconut oil. There are no studies which show that non-hydrogenated coconut oil contributes to heart disease. In fact epidemiological studies seem to indicate the opposite. Please see healthinformationlibrary for more on line information. You may also check many wonderful books on this exact subject in our Great Books section.

Only animal foods contain cholesterol, and coconut oil is a naturally cholesterol free food.  Scientists have studied the effects of coconut oil consumption on different types of cholesterol and blood lipids. Consumption of the recommended serving size of coconut oil along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps maintain normal levels of cholesterol.† Read more on coconut oil and health related issues here.

Coconut Oil & Metabolism
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT’s) are commonly used in special nutrition formulas created for hospitalized patients. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are much different than the long-chain fatty acids found in seed oils. This difference affects how the body utilizes the oil.  Because of the ease in how MCT’s are digested and metabolized, this oil can be used even when people have compromised digestive systems.   Read more on coconut oil and health related issues by clicking on Metabolism.

Coconut Oil & Weight Loss
In the United States 55% of the population is overweight. One in 4 adults is considered obese.  The former recommendation to simply restrict fat has been discredited by most recent nutritional and obesity research, and by the skyrocketing obesity rates among a fat conscious nation.

Coconut Oil is a healthy source of MCT’s, which the body readily absorbs and converts to energy.  MCT’s found in coconut oil support healthy thermogenesis levels. Coconut oil is also ideal for people on low carbohydrate diets. † Read more on coconut oil and health related issues by clicking on Weight Loss.

HOW TO CHOOSE VIRGIN COCONUT OIL
The Traditional Philippine Fermentation Processed Virgin Coconut Oil and the Centrifuge Extracted Virgin Coconut Oil both melt in your mouth with a nice mild coconut flavor. Both of them have very low moisture content and a very long shelf life.

Traditional Philippine Fermentation Process	Centrifuge Extraction Process
Neither virgin coconut oil is heated during any of the processes. They are both made from non-hybridized, organic coconuts harvested and processed in the Philippines.
If vitality or "life force" is important to you, Philippine virgin coconut oil rates the highest of all virgin coconut oils (not just our coconut oils) It has been tested against coconut oils from all over the world. This testing has been done using radionics and dousing, independently. It has been tested by different individuals who do not know each other and are honestly just seeking information	If taste is the most important to you, and especially if you use the coconut oil raw, you will probably want the Centrifuge Extracted Virgin Coconut Oil. Our “most discrete customers who have very sensitive and discerning taste buds seem to prefer the Centrifuge Extracted Virgin Coconut Oil to all other virgin coconut oils. The taste is very smooth, a true delicacy.
If trace minerals are important, the amount of trace minerals appears to be the highest in the Philippine virgin coconut oil.	If medium chain fatty acids are the most important thing to you, especially lauric acid, then the centrifuged virgin coconut oil we carry will give you a higher percentage of lauric acid than any other coconut oil.
If price is the most important, the Traditional Philippine Virgin Coconut Oil costs us less, and we pass that savings on to you	Most of our vegetarian customers who do not like fermented foods choose the centrifuge extracted oil. This process is quick and high tech, yielding a very high quality product
This process has been used for centuries in the Philippines to make virgin coconut oil. Many people like using the “old traditional ways” because they are often times the healthiest.	If you are looking for a coconut oil with the highest heat stability of all coconut oils, this is the one. Standard coconut oil still contains about 6% mono-unsaturated fat and 2% polyunsaturated fat. The polyunsaturated fats are not heat stable, and the monounsaturated fats, though fairly stable can still oxidize. This Centrifuged coconut oil contains virtually no polyunsaturated fat, and half the mono-unsaturated fats when compared to other coconut oils
