Coconutty Comments: "If you're buying virgin coconut oil for its health benefits, you'll want the best you can get. Our Philippine suppliers, Cocovida, have become the first producers to show the complete process from tree to jar on video, which you can view on the main page. We like this degree of transparency. Cocovida are also open about exactly where their coconuts come from. Cocovida's production facility is based in one of the most pristine environments on earth - Eastern Samar, Philippines (click here for map). This happens to be the place where Mel Learmouth, the founder, grew up. The coconut palms growing in abundance around this coastal area have never seen pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Coconuts are hand-picked at exactly the right time - precisely when they reach a peak level of lauric and other medium chain fatty acids.  The coconut oil that arrives in your jar is fresh and raw from the first pressing. No heat is applied at any stage - it is not extracted with heat nor is it dried with heat. This cold-process method is called ANH standing for 'Absolutely No Heat'. This is coconut oil at its most natural raw state."
