How We Discovered this Unique Oil
Watch the video!
Article by Brian Shilhavy, Founder, Tropical Traditions, Inc.
When I first read about the wonderful benefits of coconut oil, I asked my wife Marianita, who grew up on a coconut plantation in the Philippines, if there was a more natural way to extract the oil from the coconut, so that we didn’t have to buy the refined coconut oils found in all the stores in the Philippines. She said there was a method the older generation used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts. So we started making our coconut oil that way and using it for our cooking needs with our three children. We couldn’t believe how wonderful it tasted, and how great we felt. We had been living on Mt. Banahaw in the Philippines for almost two years by that time, and in the year 2000 telephone service was provided to our rural farming community, allowing me to put up a website about our Philippine Herbs. I decided to also put our Virgin Coconut Oil up on the website, not really expecting people to order it because it was a bit expensive since we had to hire people to make the oil, and shipping cost a lot because of the weight. We were so surprised when people started ordering, and then re-ordering it because they felt so great after using it! They told us there was no other coconut oil like it on the market.
Before long we had businesses contacting us asking how to order it in bulk. So we discussed how we could mass produce this kind of oil, and almost abandoned the product because we didn’t want to lose the traditional way of making it. In the end, we decided to just keep making it the same way, by having others in our coconut community also make the oil the traditional way. Many of our producers are in areas so remote, that if they did not use their coconuts to produce Virgin Coconut oil for us, no one would buy their coconuts because it would cost too much to transport them to manufacturing plants. In these areas, the coconuts generally just fell to the ground unused until we started training people to make our Virgin Coconut Oil. We were the first ones to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines to the US market. The success overwhelmed us.
Today, more than 7 years later, there are other companies now selling coconut oil again in the US, most of them mass-produced by machines from dried coconut. But we are committed to time-honored traditional practices that have produced healthy coconut oil for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is still produced by hand, using the wet-milling process of extracting the oil from fresh coconuts. Our producers have learned a lot of things over the years, since most of them have been producing this oil for over 7 years now. They have learned how to pick out the best coconuts from each harvest that produce the best quality oil, for example. Independent laboratory analysis shows this to be one of the highest quality coconut oils on the market, having the highest levels of antioxidants. This enhanced Virgin Coconut Oil is now in the US market under the Tropical Traditions Gold Label brand. It meets our strictest standards to earn this designation. Today when you buy Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, you are buying the highest quality coconut oil we have to offer, and it is still made by hand and benefiting families in the rural areas of the Philippines where the coconuts grow.

Coconut Oil: A Miracle in a Jar?
Full article by Kenda Robertson
The campaign to demonize saturated fat found in coconut oil started in the 1980s when American industry farmers, who were unable to grow and make a profit from coconuts, decided to wage a public relations war against tropical oils in favor of polyunsaturated fats they could produce and promote such as flax seed, canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils.
Their reports have claimed that saturated fats are linked to high cholesterol and heart disease, multiple sclerosis and other ailments. Yet, people who live in tropical climates and eat a diet high in coconut oil are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer, and colon problems than unsaturated fat eaters!
Coconut oil actually lowers cholesterol, is anti-aging and helps people lose weight because of its ability to stimulate the thyroid.
Since the 1960s, researchers have been aware the properties of the medium chain fatty acids/triglycerides found in coconut oil destroys microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses.
In 1987, Lim-Sylianco published a 50-year literature review showing that in colon and breast cancer, coconut oil is far more protective than unsaturated oils. For example: 32% of corn oil eaters became afflicted with colon cancer while only 3% of coconut oil eaters acquired the disease.
Coconut oil is also more stable than unsaturated oils. Coconut oil shows no evidence of rancidity even after a year at room temperature. Not so with unsaturated oils which become rancid very quickly.
Another great use for coconut oil is that of a face and body moisturizer. It can clear acne and soften wrinkles at the same time. Eczema sufferers can find relief with this pleasant-smelling, non-greasy emollient.

At Raw Aura, a restaurant in Mississauga, Ontario, executive chef Douglas McNish uses coconut oil for all of his desserts. Coconut oil:
- Regarded as healthiest fat on the face of the planet
- Boost your metabolism, helping you burn calories at a higher rate
- Increases your good cholesterol
- Has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties which would help your immune system
- Best for cooking because it has a very high smoking point, so it won't burn; therefore no carcinogens
"It's also really good for people who work out. If you are going to have a pre-workout shake or smoothie, (coconut oil) is digested very easily and is great for sustained energy,"~Laurence McMulkin, holistic nutritionist, Beaches Wholesome Food Store in Toronto
