What is Virgin Coconut Oil and how is it Traditionally-made??

There has been an abundance of research in recent years in coconut oil producing countries looking at the various methods of producing "virgin coconut oil." What has been discovered is that the traditional wet-milling methods of producing coconut oil using very simple technology, much as has been used for thousands of years, actually produces a very high quality coconut oil. The most quantifiable characteristic that can be tested in a laboratory test is the amount of antioxidants in the coconut oil.

The traditional wet-milling method called "fermentation." "Fermentation" here is defined as the natural separation of the coconut oil from water using gravity. No machine or other substances are used in the extraction.

First, coconut milk is expressed from the freshly harvested coconuts by using the pure water that is present inside the coconuts. The coconut milk is then allowed to sit for approximately half a day. During this time, the heavier water separates from the oil by sinking to the bottom, while the lighter coconut solids float to the top (curds). In between the coconut solids and the water is a coconut oil that is completely unrefined. The oil is then slightly heated (less than boiling temperatures) for a short time (5 -15 minutes depending on air temperatures) to remove any remaining moisture and increase antioxidant levels, and then filtered. The result is coconut oil that retains the distinct scent and taste of coconuts. This is a traditional method of coconut oil extraction that has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is a much more labor-intensive method of producing coconut oil, and cannot be replicated by machine through mass production.

TESTIMONIES:
Here are some testimonies from people that have used our Coconut Oil:

Sharon - Grecia:  My husband has Alzheimer’s disease and every day I cook food using the coconut oil and he has become much more cognizant and less stressed.  It is amazing how well it is working.

Natalia - Sarchi:  I have been putting it into a spray bottle mixed with water and spraying my hair every morning.  My hair is much less frizzy and is

Beverly - Grecia:  I rub it into my skin all over my body, my face and neck look healthier and my wrinkles don’t look so bad.

Nancy - Atenas:  With daily consumption, my memory has improved.  I don’t walk into a room anymore not remembering what I went there for.

Jan - San Louis:  I have been adding it to my dog’s food and his skin is so much better and his fur is soft and shiny.

Vicki - Escazu:  I'm now using Coconut Oil for many things so I'm excited to find a decent priced Organic Cold-Pressed coconut oil! 
TOOTHPASTE:  My main thing is making my Toothpaste which is just Baking Soda, Therapeutic-Grade (ingestible) Essential Oils (I ONLY use doTerra) - Peppermint for flavor, Melaluca (aka Tea Tree) to help my gums & sometimes I add some Lemon & a few other things depending on what's going on in my mouth/gums plus the key ingredient is Coconut Oil!  On top of the fact it's WAYYY cheaper than store bought toothpaste - but this is actually good FOR you!! 
FACE CREAM:  It's the ONLY "face cream" I'm now using and it's AMAZING how the wrinkles are smoothing out.  Plus I'm using it on my whole bod!!  
ATHLETES FOOT:  I've just started using it on my feet with some Melaluca/Tea Tree and my Athletes Foot is FINALLY clearing up after YEARS (ahhhh all the bacteria we're exposed to living in the tropics!!).
BROWNIES:  Last week I used it instead of regular oil in my Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Brownies!!  Everyone went CRAZY over them!!
SMOOTHIES:  I'm adding some in my Smoothies and that helps the taste pop more plus I know it's good for me!!!! 
THANX for making this available to us!!!

Jeane - Atenas:  My feet have never looked so good.  The heals of my feet were cracked and painful.  Just using the oil on my feet healed the cracks, and my feet look great now.  I will never stop using this oil.

Judith - Grecia:  I have severe Psoriasis and even though the oil hasn’t cured it, it has relieved the symptoms of scaly skin.  The skin is now soft and pink.  I need to use it every day or the symptoms come back.  What a relief this is.
