Our Centrifuged coconut oil is made from fresh coconuts opened less than 48 hours after they are picked from the trees. They first shell the coconuts and then chop the flesh, placing it in an expeller press. The temperatures of the coconut flesh and the resulting coconut milk emulsion do not exceed 25° C or 78.8° F (room temperature). Once the coconut is shelled, it takes less than 45 minutes to produce the milk. The resulting coconut milk emulsion is then chilled slightly to 10° C (50° F) so that the oil will pull out of solution. In other words, the chilling helps to break the protein emulsion that holds the oils in solution. Next, the cooled milk, by use of a large centrifuge, is separated into the pure oil that we sell here and a skim coconut milk. This method of extraction requires no heat at all. It works like a cream separator that is used for separating cream from cows milk. It requires quite a few passes through this chilled centrifuge to obtain pure oil, but the resulting oil is absolutely fabulous. The one thing that sets this oil apart, even from our other oils, and definitely from all other virgin coconut oils is its high Lauric acid content. Lauric acid is the fatty acid with 12 carbons in it, and has been the subject of much research in recent years. It is the major medium chain fat that has been studied by the National Institute of Health, Medical Doctors and Ph.D.s doing medical research. Most coconut oils contain 46-49% Lauric acid, although some coconut oils test out as low as 42%. Our special centrifuged oil contains a whopping 57% Lauric acid!! In addition, this coconut oil is higher in medium chain fatty acids than any other coconut oil we have seen, and it contains virtually no polyunsaturated fats.

Summary: this company
Comment: I ordered a 1 gallon bucket of extra virgin traditional philippine processed coconut oil through this company for a second time. the first time around was happy with product and delivery. this time around however when i received the oil today inside the box the bucket was already half ajar when i pulled it out to futher inspect you could also see brown spots at the bottom of the bucket (within the oil itself) indicating the product had turned bad. I called the wilderness family 800 number from my invoice and was rather annoyed when they instructed me to return it to them so they could inspect if for themselve to determine if indeed the product is bad. So not only did i originally pay $54.95 for the product plus $10.95 for shipping but now i have to pay to return it to them because i have no use for it. The thing that annoyed me most about this is that in the past when i have ordered food items online on the rare occasion when there has been a problem with that product the supplier has always paid to either have it returned to them or told me to discard the product and then promptly replaced it. some companies have even given me some of their other products as well for the inconvenience. It is beyond me how a company who is clearly making alot of money from these coconut oils insists upon having the customer come out of pocket again to return it to them. I will be finding another company to purchase my coconut oil from in the future.
