Our oil is cold processed and unrefined.  Once the coconuts are split open, the white meat inside is shredded into flakes, which are then wet-milled in order to extract the coconut milk.  After the milk has settled for 24 hours (a fermentation process that occurs at room temperature), moisture is then removed at a very low temperature in order to produce the coconut oil.

Absolutely no chemicals are used at any time in the process of making Laureece VCO.

Because of Laureece's commitment to purity, all sediments and impurities are carefully separated from the finished product (little specks are not natural for true virgin coconut oil).  As a result, our VCO has the lowest moisture content (0.04%) of any VCO in the Philippines.  We also have some of the highest lauric acid content in the world (between 56 to 57%).

For the sake of quality control, the entire production process, from harvest to the making of the VCO, is carefully monitored by Dr. Jader-Onate and her staff, as they follow the strictest sanitation standards which you can see from photos from the process.
