Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil

Tropical Traditions carries a wide range of coconut oil products, but most importantly, they carry high-quality culinary coconut oil. The Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is an unrefined coconut oil made from organic coconuts grown on small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and Quezon Province in the Philippines.

The coconuts are used within 24-48 hours of harvest; the fresh meat is shredded and then cold-pressed using the water from the coconuts to make coconut milk. After the milk sits, the oil separates. The result is a high-grade virgin coconut oil that is perfect for cooking with at home.

Besides being a high quality oil, the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is also quite healthful. In fact, it has high levels of antioxidants and no trans-fatty acids.

If you want to add a nice bit of natural coconut flavor to stir-fry dishes or other recipes, the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is a great choice.
