History
Tree of Plenty, Tree of Heaven
Coconut palms are far from just an exotic gem of catalogue beaches. Back in
the days of ancient Asian cultures these Trees of Plenty, Trees of
Heaven were dedicated to the deity of the time. And coconuts, they were
used for religious rituals. [1]
As early as 4,000 years ago
Unbelievably, coconut oil was being pressed 4,000 years
ago. It was used internally and externally as an effective remedy for
dry skin and hair treatment.** It was an absolute necessity in tropical,
sun-drenched regions. [2]
Functional food of exceptional properties
For its exceptional properties, coconut oil has been one of the leading
functional foods for decades ** [1,2].
Origin and cultivation
Sourced using environmentally friendly technology
Our Organic, RAW virgin coconut oil is extracted from the
flesh of the coconut fruit by cold-pressing. The maximum
content of enzymes and other beneficial substances sensitive to higher
temperatures is preserved in this way.
Read carefully
Our coconut oil is not filtered or otherwise stressed during production.
Any green and brown bits at the bottom of the jar are not a
problem. These are small pieces of leaves and shells that could not be
removed during gentle processing.
Composition and properties
Semi-solid, solid and liquid
Semi-solid at room temperature, solid when cold and liquid when warm. This is
coconut oil. These and other properties are mainly due to the fatty
acids contained.
No added flavourings
Our coconut oil is virgin. It has not been refined, flavored or otherwise
treated in the production process.** It retains its white to yellow-white color
and natural, slightly coconutty taste.
Use
In homemade RAW desserts, vegan ice creams, creams…
Because of its semi-solid consistency, buttery taste and subtle
coconut hint, coconut oil is a great base for RAW desserts, vegan ice
creams, creams, toppings and other treats.
Mix our coconut oil with high quality cocoa, crushed nuts and a little agave
syrup and make your own chocolate spread for toast, pancakes,
crepes or just a simple spoonful on its own. It always comes in handy.
In conclusion
