Our Raw Virgin Coconut Oil has a unique flavor, which is only found in the South Pacific and it is achieved by using ONLY fresh, clean coconuts; which are supplied daily. The flavour is smooth mild and clean which makes it enjoyable to eat in a natural form. We acquire this taste by using natural gravity filtration. There are NO harsh chemicals, clays or mechanical cleaning processors involved in the manufacturing/filtering process of Tavulomo Raw Virgin Coconut Oil. At the oil pressing stage, our oil is smelled and taste tasted by two staff members. Oil from the pressing room which doesn’t meet the criteria for smell and taste goes into the soap bucket and is recorded.
