This is coconut oil that is derived from fresh coconuts, not copra, and has not undergone the RBD (refined, bleached, deodorized) process that refined coconut oil derived from copra goes through.





Almost all of the ';unrefined'; coconut oils on the market being marketed as ';Virgin'; are produced one of two ways:





1. Quick drying of fresh coconut meat which is then used to press out the oil. Using this method, the coconut meat is quick dried, and the oil is then pressed out via mechanical means.


2. Wet-milling. With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. ';Coconut milk'; is expressed first by pressing. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge.





Unlike olive oil, there is no world or governing body that sets a standard definition or set of guidelines to classify coconut oil as ';virgin.'; but the Philippines being the largest producer/exporter has recently established a Department of Science and Technology (DOST) governmental standard see: PNS for VCO.
