Re: Virgin Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

Hello!

We are the producers of the Virgin Coconut Oil that has been

discussed here. As Jen has mentioned, this is a traditional coconut

oil made through fermentation where the oil separates naturally from

the water of freshly extracted coconut milk. There are no chemicals

used whatsoever, and this is a method that has been used in the

Philippines for hundreds of years. We actually don't make the oil

ourselves, but have the families and farmers in our community make it

this traditional way and then buy it from them. We just setup the

standards and quality control system. So when you buy VCNO from us

(or our US distributor Wilderness Family Naturals) you are supporting

the small farmer businesses in the Philippines. None of them use

chemicals or pesticides on their trees, and haven't for hundreds of

years. Our place is located on Mt. Banahaw in Quezon Province, and

since the mountain is an inactive volcano the soil is very rich, and

no fertilizers are needed, and even if they were available the

farmers are too poor to afford them. So the coconuts are completely

organic, and we extract the milk within 48 hours of harvest using a

cold pressed, wet-milling method. You can find out more about our

method and the wonderful health benefits of coconut oil here:

As far as other brands, if there is no coconut smell or taste, it is

refined and at least deodorized. If it is truly " virgin " it will

retain the scent and taste. Commercial coconut oil is generally RBD

(Refined, deodorized, and bleached), although it can be claimed to be

organic as almost no coconut farmers use pesticides or fertilizers.

God Bless!

> I have tried both. I definately like the wilderness family one

better. Actually, it is produced in the ines by

Shilhavy, but he wanted to set up with someone here in the states to

make it easier in shipping. It has a very pleasant coconut smell and

light coconut taste. His production method is TOTALLY natural, using

no chemicals, etc. The Omega Nutrition has no smell or taste at all.

I really LIKE the smell and taste. It just feels right to me.

I resisted VCO for a long time because I don't like the taste of

coconut. Then I found I could get it processed without taste. The

first time I had it, I was amazed at the increase in my energy. It

leveled off after awhile. I fell out of the habit after I moved but

am trying to incorporate it again. Kit

> I have gone to the coconut oil website many times and am surprised

at the people who have lost weight... and why... I use this in my

soaps but never have used it in my diet... the suggestion of mixing

the coconut oil with the no transfat butter sounded interesting..

sorry forgot the name of that butter... i have used it in my smoothies

sometimes... the fat seems to satisfy more then just the berries..and

apple juice.... i have thrown the flax oil in the smoothie also...
