- Natural and Organic - 100% Pure, Unblended Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) by Manila Coco Bio-Essence is pressure-induced food grade coconut oils through proprietary advanced mechanical expellers (Manila VirginFlo), without the use of solvents, no hexane, nor any chemical. Our VCO is naturally stable, and uniquely beneficial saturated fatty acids. As such, it is devoid of toxic trans fatty acids, protects cells from free-radical damage, and free of bad-cholesterol enhancing properties - gaining its scientific claim as - The Healthiest Oil on earth... the Good Fats.
- Fresh mature coconut kernels (non-copra) are grated within 36 - 48 hours from fruit harvest, steam-cleaned, then, blanched, and desiccated dry to best capture its plant sterols and essences. The resulting meal is then aseptically pressed to crude oil, with the faintest heat necessary to reduce moisture to its lowest level to avoid oxidation and for longer shelf life. Without interruption, this raw oil is filtered through natural earth carbon from final impurities before it is sent to storage tanks in its purest form.
- NOT ALL ORGANIC Coconut Oils are VIRGIN. Altered Coconut Oils - such as Deodorized, Distilled, or Fractionated Coconut Oils - loose all anti-oxidants (Tocopherols, Vitamin E) due to very high heat processing. These do not carry the same kind and amount of beneficial fatty acids as 100% pure, unblended VCO. As such, these are properly labelled "NOT VIRGIN", or merely "coconut oil", despite these being co-labelled as "Organic" - meaning no synthetic pesticides/fertilizers. By first cold-press, the Manila VirginFlo method retains the natural fresh coconut phytonutrients, as evidenced by its light sweet taste and aroma, with its crystalline water-white color, non-greasy fluid, and free of sediment and rancidity. Unlike other extraction methods, Manila VirginFlo does not use any fermentation enzyme, nor decanting common to village pressed oils. No conventional chemical refining, no bleaching, no deodorizing (no RBD), no hydrogenation. It does not alter the oil's integral native carbon-chain structures, keeping free fatty acid negligible, moisture almost nil, and peroxide and iodine values very low - key indicators of unadulterated VCO.
- Like wines, NOT ALL VCOs ARE THE SAME. Independent studies have shown that Fermented VCO or Centrifuge VCO, which comes from wet-milled (grated) coconut cream feedstocks, is of low-cost inputs; tastes intense, heavy-greasy fluid; starts to oxidze 6 months after nut opening. In comparison, Expeller Presse VCO, which comes from blanched (cured), dry-desiccated coconut feedstocks, is not of low-cost inputs; tastes sweetish clean, smooth light density fluid - closest to natural coconut fruit flavor. Only non-GMO coconuts from robust juicy trees not more than 50 years old within organic farm estates are used. Governmental bio-researchers have long found out that trees older than half a century tend to be less productive with anemic fruits, sub-prime senile, and prone to a lot of tree diseases. All farm and processing aspects are in conformity to the Philippine National Identity Standards (Codex Alimentarius) of the of Food and Drug Administration and 3rd party organic certification by Ecocert of Germany/NOP USDA.
- Volcanic Island Eco-Balance - The best coconuts are those that grow in bio/eco-balance from volcanic, nutrient-rich island soils, nourished with abundant tropical rain and coastal seawater and capped with lots of sunshine. The Philippines, located 11 degrees north of the Equator, is in the heart of the global volcanic center known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire" making it just about the most ideal environment for the best coconut variety to flourish. Philippine coconuts have earned the right to claim themselves the best of the best variety in the world. That's why the Phils. is world's largest coconut oil exporter.

Product Description
Manila Coco's Organic VCO (1 gallon) comes from the source - our farm estate, one factory location-one extraction method - sold directly at online web storefronts : avoids extra costs of reprocessing or middlemen and ensures no mixing of varying oil grades. Unlike other brands which consolidate 2 - 3 different extraction methods (fermentation, expeller, centrifuge), Manila Coco is simply, honestly unadulterated. That's why we devote more of our attention, care, and resources to make a top-quality VCO superior. It contains the optimum amount of beneficial fatty acids, largely medium chain fatty acids (55% lauric acid) and natural vitamin E - tocopherols, which cause resistance to pre-oxidation. It is distinct from artificially stabilized hydrogenated vegetable fats, and animal fats - both have been medically traced to cause deadly degenerative diseases. ... Our processes uphold consistent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), HACCP, and ISO procedures to assure every single time our best quality oil, and prevent any contamination. These Good-Housekeeping precautions may not be mandatory in traditional wet-milling or manual extraction methods due to additional costs. ... We guarantee our VCO is safe, unblended with other vegetable or fractionated oil... and certified organic by Ecocert of GermanyNOP USDA. ... VCO's medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which mimic those of mother's breast milk that boost infant immune system and brain development, found their way in professional infant formulas as DHA and ARA nutrients. In adults, it also causes metabolic rate increases (good for weight loss). Inside the body, monolaurin, the monoglyceride derivative of VCO's lauric acid (C 12) has shown broad-spectrum antiseptic action against bacteria, fungi, and drug-resistant viruses. Thus, make our VCO excellent nutrition supplement in liquid form (unlike those inadequately potent softgels) or mixed for prepared foods, smoothies or other beverages. And for fun flavor on popcorns, too!
