Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Tropical Traditions oils come from the Philippines. They use the traditional process or what is commonly called here as the FERMENTATION WITH HEAT. VCO is extracted from fermented coconut milk, sometimes up to 48 hours. After the oil has been harvested, this is subjected to heat to eliminate the moisture content. Wilderness Family also get their oil from the Philippines and they are processed using the Centrifuge machine. Coconut milk is placed inside the centrifuge machine where it spins at very high speed and the oil, water and protein contents of the coconut milk separate. After the oil has been harvested this is subjected to heat in a vacumm evaporator to eliminate the remaining moisture content. I cannot say what is the best in the market except for the fact that the least processed VCO is always better, however they are the more expensive ones in the market, BUT AGAIN the more effective. Also please do not be confused between COLD PRESSED and COLD PROCESSED. they are two and different distinct processess.

I have omega nutrition but I hear of agateguard, tropical traditions, and wilderness family naturals. Has anyone used these brands? Are they good? How about money wise?
