Coconut Oil vs Creamed Coconut Butter:
Coconut Oil is the fat from coconut - used for cooking.
Coconut Butter is the coconut flesh dried, then ground. The oil floats to the top when you make coconut butter. So scoop past this top layer and enjoy the wonderful Coconut Butter within. Best used for baking and spreads.

Health benefits: include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care and bone strength. (More below.)

The reason we call our coconut oil, coconut oil butter is because its texture is creamier and more buttery than other coconut oils.

The coconuts are husked and immediately pressed onsite at the processing facility. We then use "wet method" centrifuge extraction to extract this creamy butter, cold-pressing the oil from fresh coconuts within 1 hour of breaking the seal on the coconut shell.

It is raw, light tasting and smooth - unlike any coconut oil you've ever experienced.

What is Wet Method Centrifuge Extraction?
Wet milling or wet method extraction involves expeller pressing the flesh of fresh coconuts into a pulp, forming a coconut milk emulsion. The processing temperature is kept below 25 degrees to maintain the nutritive quality of the butter. The coconut milk emulsion is then chilled to approximately 10 degrees. Cooling the emulsion weakens the protein bonds assisting the oil and water to separate during centrifugation. This process allows for greater oil quality and yield.

Health Benefits:
Coconut butter is known for its Lauric acid content, and for its quality, healthy saturated fats. Cholesterol does not naturally occur in the plant kingdom. Unlike saturated animal fats, Coconut oil is cholesterol free, making it safe for people with cholesterol challenges. Lauric acid promotes immune function through its transformation into monolaurin once ingested. Studies show that Monolaurin is able to destroy lipid coated viruses and bacteria including influenza, herpes and HIV.

Weight Loss:
Medium Chain triglycerides (MCT's) are abundantly found in coconut butter. Unlike other forms of fat, the liver is able to metabolise MCT's similarly to how it utilises carbohydrates as a fuel source. Coconut butter's digestibility means that it is quickly absorbed by our bodies, and not left to circulate the blood stream like other fats. The MCT's in coconut oil have also been shown to have thyroid supporting mechanisms. Studies that were conducted on the basal (resting) metabolic rate of people who ate MCT's comparative to those participants who consumed more LCT's (long chain triglycerides i.e. vegetable oils) were found on average to have a 12% increase in their basal metabolic rates.

Cellular Health:
Our body's cells are comprised primarily of saturated fats. Regular consumption of Coconut Butter promotes cellular health reducing oxidative damage from free radical exposure. Internal cellular protection translates externally to healthier, more hydrated, younger looking skin.

Serving Suggestions:
The most beneficial way for us to consume Coconut Butter is as a replacement to processed oils and fats. 3-5 tablespoons a day is a therapeutic dosage.

Use Coconut butter as a replacement to margarine and butter on sandwiches, add it to Smoothies for a dose of healthy fats, or spread it on crackers and eat as is.

Coconut Butter is considered to be one of the most stable oils. With a smoking temperature of 232 degrees Celsius coconut butter can also be used for frying and baking. Our coconut butter has a light and refreshing taste that will not over power your dishes, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
