If a supplier in Tiruppur quotes you extra virgin coconut oil at a premium over virgin, ask them what the difference is. Then watch what happens.
There Is Nothing to Measure
Olive oil has an extra virgin standard with a free-acidity ceiling you can test. Coconut oil has no such standard — not under Codex, not under the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community, not anywhere. So there is no test, and therefore no premium worth paying.
Buy the Process
Four questions, all answerable:
- Unrefined?
- Unbleached?
- Undeodorised?
- Cold pressed, at what temperature?

Unrefined oil is a perishable claim. The less time it spends in someone else's warehouse, the less there is to go wrong. Our press is at Kangayam, inside Tiruppur district. See how we make it.
Supply Terms
