High Antioxidant Coco Oil for our Aussie readers

'Gold Label' Virgin Organic Coconut Oil is the same Virgin Coconut Oil that Tropical Traditions has sold for the past 6+ years, and has now been enhanced to the point where TT have developed even higher standards for the production of this premium Virgin Coconut Oil. It contains the highest levels of antioxidants. While almost all Virgin Coconut Oils on the market are mass-produced, Tropical Traditions still produces their Virgin Coconut Oil by hand in small batches by family micro enterprises. Most of them have been producing Virgin Coconut oil for over 6 years. They learned what it takes to produce the high quality oil, including as how to hand pick the higher quality coconuts from each harvest.

Their most recent discovery in 2007 came when certain groups in rural areas had problems with water sources. Water is needed to make the coconut milk from which the oil is extracted. Using true Filipino ingenuity, farmer producers began collecting and using the pure nutritious coconut water from inside the organic coconuts instead.

They noticed that the water separated from the oil much quicker, that less heat was needed at the end, and that less filtering was needed. The end result was a higher quality and better tasting Virgin Coconut Oil.


Independent laboratory analysis confirmed that this new method produces even higher levels of antioxidants than first tested in 2006 by Professor Dia, which showed TT Virgin Coconut Oil to contain higher amounts of antioxidants than any other Virgin Coconut Oil they had tested. So TT now require all of their Virgin Coconut Oil farmer-producers to use the pure coconut water from their coconuts instead of boiled or purified tap water. This enhanced Virgin C oconut Oil with the highest levels of antioxidants is now our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, available here.
