Imagine yourself in a rustic kitchen, where the sweet scents of fresh coconut fill the air. Extracting your own coconut oil is like returning to the basics: using what nature offers us, without any artificial elements. Even high-quality industrial coconut oil can lose some of its essential nutrients during preservation treatments. In contrast, homemade oil retains all of its richness: vitamins, beneficial fatty acids, and that sweet fragrance that instantly evokes tropical islands.
Two Main Methods: Between Tradition and Modernity
There are two main ways to produce coconut oil:
Cold pressing: The oil is extracted without heating the coconut flesh, which helps preserve its properties as much as possible. The oil is pure white, slightly fragrant, and retains a soft, authentic taste. It’s like an unfiltered wine that keeps all the character of its origin.
Thermal extraction: Here, the flesh is heated to make it easier to separate the oil. Faster, but at the cost of some nutrient loss and a less pronounced taste. It’s akin to choosing a garden tomato over an industrial can.
