Coconut Oil

Cold-pressed coconut oil is a type of oil extracted from fresh coconut meat without the use of heat or chemicals. The process involves pressing the oil out of the coconut at low temperatures, which helps retain its natural nutrients, flavour, and aroma. This method contrasts with refined coconut oil, which often undergoes high-heat processing and can lose some of its beneficial properties.
