Do you know how virgin coconut oil is different from ordinary coconut oil? Read on to find out.

The main difference between ordinary coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction.

Ordinary coconut oil is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around 6%. The latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. The oil is then separated from the water or moisture using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes. In some cases, this fresh coconut oil is boiled to obtain the oil by evaporating the water or moisture.

However, in the case of virgin coconut oil, the raw materials and the process of extraction should not allow any involvement of heat. Therefore utmost care is taken to ensure that the kernels and the raw material, i.e. the coconut milk, are not subjected to heat or sunlight. In some cases, virgin coconut oil is also extracted directly by cold compression of fresh dried coconut meat. This is also called Micro-expelling.
