In a world dominated by refined and chemically processed edible oils, returning to traditional extraction methods is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity for better health. Wood pressed coconut oil, also known as raw, unrefined coconut oil, is one of the purest forms of edible oil, deeply rooted in Kerala’s culinary and wellness traditions.
At Kerala Naturals, wood pressed coconut oil is crafted from the finest coconuts sourced directly from trusted farmers in God’s Own Country, Kerala, ensuring authenticity, purity, and superior quality in every drop.
What Is Wood Pressed Coconut Oil?
Wood pressed coconut oil is extracted using the traditional cold extraction method, where dried coconut kernels are slowly pressed in a wooden mortar (often called a chekku or ghani). This method avoids excessive heat, chemicals, or refining processes.
The result is a pure, raw, unrefined, and unfiltered coconut oil that retains its:
-
Natural aroma
-
Original nutrients
-
Rich flavour
-
Therapeutic properties
Sun-Dried Coconuts for Superior Aroma & Taste
At Kerala Naturals, only premium-quality coconuts are selected and sun-dried naturally for a few days before extraction. Sun drying helps:
-
Reduce moisture content
-
Enhance aroma and taste
-
Improve oil stability
-
Preserve traditional flavor profiles
This careful preparation makes a significant difference in the quality of the final oil.
