Organic Coconut Oil, Cold-Pressed

Organic Coconut oil for the food industry

Organic coconut oil, also known as organic coconut fat, is a certified organic, cold-pressed coconut oil. Organic coconut oil is solid at room temperature and liquefies at approximately 24-29 °C, with a characteristic natural coconut aroma.

Coconut oil is composed almost entirely of fat and is suitable for use as a food or as an ingredient in foods and food supplements. Cold-pressed organic coconut oil can be used for cooking, sautéing, and frying at moderate temperatures.

For applications requiring higher temperatures or a neutral flavor, refined organic coconut oil is recommended. You can also use organic coconut oil or organic coconut oil refined for cosmetics and other applications.

Organic Coconut oil is obtained by pressing the crushed and dried nutritive tissue of the coconut, the copra. The fresh copra is dried and pressed.

Interesting things

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) most likely originates from the Malay Archipelago. Today, it is widespread throughout all tropical regions, thriving in favorable climates and benefiting from the buoyancy of its fruit, which facilitates natural dispersal through water, a mechanism known as hydrochory.

The coconut tree has a tall, columnar trunk, 30-35 m high, without branches, often slightly curved at the base, crowned with large, feathery leaves. The fruits, coconuts, grow in clusters under the leaves. A mature palm tree can produce 60-160 nuts per year, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
