Coconuts are a way of life for millions of people around the world today in tropical climates. Known as the "tree of life," the wonderful fruit of the coconut palm is rich in specific fats that have incredible health benefits.
What is so special about Tropical Traditions Gold Label Standard Virgin Coconut Oil?
This is a truly unrefined coconut oil. Coconuts are used fresh (within 1-2 days of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each harvest.
The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world! Testing done in independent laboratories reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled) and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water. The oil is then filtered from the curds (coconut solids). No chemical or high-heat treatment is used, and this oil contains no trans fatty acids.
Tropical Traditions Gold Label Standard Virgin Coconut Oil is NOT mass produced. It is made by families who are coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in the Philippines for hundreds of years. Tropical Traditions' coconut trees and family producers are certified organic according to strict USDA standards. This high-grade Virgin Coconut Oil has a long shelf life due to the high antioxidant properties. The Gold Label Standard is Tropical Traditions' highest standard for Virgin Coconut Oil.
If you prefer a coconut oil that does not taste like coconut and that is a bit less expensive, try our Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil. Homestead Market also offers Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate, as well as lotions and soaps made of coconut oil.
