1. Harvesting of the fresh coconuts begins each morning around 5am at sunrise and the production facility has 2 hourly drop off schedules up to noon daily. This ensures that the daily coconuts harvested are processed whilst fresh.
2. On arrival at the processing plant the coconut flesh is removed from the matured coconuts then chipped and sliced into small pieces.
3. The coconut chips are then air dried with the temperature set under  60º degrees to remove moisture (below 4 percent w/w) without damaging the delicate essential Fatty Acid levels and important Vitamin E content.
4. The dehydrated coconut chips are then COLD PRESSED to extract the oil.
5. The oil is then filtered three times through natural fiber filters to separate any coconut particles from the oil before pumping into large settling tanks.
6. The Virgin Coconut Oil is held in the settling tanks for a minimum period of 36 hours before being transferred into food grade 200 of 1,000 litre bladders held in open top (bio-degradable) cardboard outers.

 The result is a fine pure premium Virgin Coconut Oil with a shelf life of at least 2 years from production. It retains a rich natural coconut aroma and flavour and is a light golden clear colour in appearance, with a high lauric acid content of over 50%.

NO chemicals are used in the growing or processing of our Virgin Coconut oil and the farm carries Australian Certified Organic (ACO) and USDA Organic Certification, and Kosher Australia certification. 

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a term sometimes used to describe our Virgin Coconut Oil mainly in the United States. This term means that our oil is cold pressed and has the least amount of processing retaining a more natural state, unlike the more refined processed types of virgin coconut oil using centrifuge spinning or expeller press extraction processes.

Our processing facility is situated on the coconut farm in a pristine northern island of the Fiji group.  NO electricity or fossil fuels are used to run our processing plant. In fact coconut shells and husk provide the bio-fuel to run our plant. The farm and production facility is totally Fijian owned and is a joint venture with Nature Pacific Pty Ltd an Australian company that is proudly Banaban owned.  The farm only employs local Fiji and Banaban workers.

On the farrm there are coconut trees as far as the eye can see in the pristine far north region of Fiji.  

 Only fully matured coconuts are harvested. NO green coconuts are used. This results in very high Lauric Acid levels.
