How is Virgin coconut oil produced?
There are several methods of producing virgin coconut oil.
Fermentation process : This is considered to be one of the oldest process of producing virgin / pure coconut oil. This process can also be used at homes to produce coconut oil. In the process This process involves making coconut milk from fresh meat of mature coconuts. This meat is then allowed to ferment for almost a day or two in containers. After fermentation the containers develop three layers – coconut oil, water and coconut curd. Water drops down at the bottom and coconut oil forms the middle layer. Water is removed and then coconut oil is removed from curd.
This method is great but with certain limitations. This method produces coconut oil of different taste every time. This is because of the extent of fermentation which takes place. Second issue can be that acid of fermentation are sometimes left in the oil giving it even more peculiar taste. Thus different batches of even same brand may have different taste.
Cold press method : This method require fresh grated coconut meat to be dried and then cold pressed to extract the oil. The drying process is quick and assisted by slight heating – 100-170 F. The oil is then pressed, the pressure used to press dried coconut can vary from company to company. This changes the taste of the oil too. In most cases cold press coconut oil has strong aroma and taste which is not preferred by many users.
Centrifuge process : This process involves taking fresh coconuts and then making coconut cream out of them. This coconut is then put into a centrifuge and spun hard which separates the oil. This oil has mild flavour and is very light
