| Wilderness Family Naturals' Centrifuged coconut oil made is made from fresh coconuts opened within 48 hours of being picked from the trees. They first shell the coconuts and then chopped the flesh placing it in an expeller press. The temperatures of the coconut flesh and the resulting coconut milk emulsion does not exceed 25° C or 78.8° F (room temperature). This milk takes less than 45 minutes once the coconut is shelled to produce. The coconut milk emulsion is then chilled slightly to 10° C (50° F) so that the oil will pull out of solution and solidify. Next the cooled emulsion, by use of a large centrifuge, has the water "spun" out of the oil. This method of extraction requires no heat at all. 1 pint (16 oz.) |
