How to Make Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil (in North America) 

people like yourself are to be commended for keeping alive a lost art. thank you for sharing your silent talent with us.

I love it when someone takes a hard task and makes it seem pleasantly possible. Thanks for showcasing cleanliness, patience, and skill.

I always flip the jars over and store them on their lids so when the coconut cream and oil solidifies, you can just open the lid and pour out the water. It's a bit less work.

I remember making pure coconut oil with my grandma as a kid in Fiji. We certainly had a different process and even had a coconut scraper that was 2 generations old! It's definitely ingrained into our culture and it's lovely seeing it become mainstream now. I'm going back to visit her this year and might ask her to teach me her process so I can hold on to it.

wow i can appreciate the process of coconut oil. Now i know why its so expensive

Somehow this music and calm mood makes me fall asleep lol

Thank you so much for this technique of processing coconut oil. As a child who grew up in SriLanka in the 50's , I used to watch people scraping coconuts and going through a long arduous two days of making pure coconut oil. You version is much faster. Thank you for sharing with us all. I have shared this video. With love and blessings to you all.

anyone else get ASMR tingles from this video? So much respect for how this is made, I'll think twice about complaining about the price tag in the future. Your videos are really relaxing to watch

I followed your method to make cold pressed coconut oil...it was amazing ... i was so happy when my bottle was full of virgin oil...i found your video very useful...best video i can say...thank you vey much.

I don't have that much of containers😂😂

Wow, a lot of processes go into the making, it's originated from a coconut we all know as fruit. The meat diced, watered, blendered, squeezed, fridged, creamed, fermented, curded, fermented, dripped, fridged, until finally got the solid oil separated from water, amazing. I like frying egg/rice using this kind of oil it gives nice flavor, curious how its made out of a sudden and here I am xD

I used to do the boiling method but the oil always dries out my skin and hair. Your cold press method has been my go to since I came across it. And my skin and hair are thankful. Thank you. Love your channel BTW.

Wow! All that work for such a little bit of pure oil. I wonder if the big companies are doing that or if it is true cold pressed. Great job!!!

This is the best ever method of extracting cold pressed virgin coconut oil I have ever seen. Your video is meticulous and thorough. Thanks a lot for this beautiful tutorial video. I must really commend you for this hard work and at the same time enlightening us who are really keen to know. Thanks once again.

I was having dinner while watching this video.. and suddenly I realised I had stopped eating.. I was so much involved in video.. I really appreciate your work

Your video is so well done I almost cried . Some old traditions are priceless .

There is actually 3 ways to extract oil from coconut. 1)Commercial and most common way by drying up the coconuts and passing it through an expeller to press out the oil.This too is a type of cold pressing. This is the most productive way but quality will not be that good. 2) Cold pressed Virgin oil as shown in the video. Top quality oil but the quantity will be very less. 3) By extracting the milk from tender coconuts by grating it and pressing. Then this milk is boiled slowly to evaporate off the water leaving us with only oil and deep friend chunk of cheese which is edible. Quantity will be good and quality too is ok.But its a very tiresome and hectic process as it requires you to continuously stir the milk when its boiling up until all the water has boiled off.

I’m amazed at the process and now appreciate coconut oil a lot more

Beautiful! Last year while I was traveling in Mozambique, I witnessed that every single lady grated, milked, boiled and cooked with coconuts they had just picked up at the back yard. It was such a labour, jaw-dropping. Now back home, whenever I open up a can of coconut milk, cream or oil, the whole picture appears and that makes me think about what we put into our body everyday. Thanks for your videos, all of them are equally lovely.

I don’t know if I will ever have the patience to do this but it was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you

How do you hate a video about making coconut oil?😩 I mean it’s just oil

Most professional, elegant, detailed video on how to do cold press virgin Coconut Oil. Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

My mothers from islands of Samoa she would have truly enjoyed,she would have ordered me to make your thankyou recipe right now.

This was quite calming and fascinating to watch. As with almost everything in life, patience and dedication yields its own reward. Thanks so much for sharing this process with us.

Wow this is great. I have 4 coconut trees now I know how to use the dried coconuts. Thanks

Anyone ever watch videos like this so they could figure out how to make things during the apocalypse? Just me? Ok

I was searching for a way to make cold pressed coconut oil, this is the 3rd video I have looked at and the best by far, why I love, it has less wastage, you can see she is a chef, the way she removes the coconut from the shell from the get go, everything is so intentional, she removes the water and reserves the other by products so there is little or no waste, and then fermentation takes places to produce the OIL at the end.. Dont need to search anymore,, i just subscribed to her channel and have already gotten inspiration on testing some other recipes. she makes it look so easy, I hope i dont have have Boo Boos and make mistakes, she makes it look dummy proof.

The music in the background is incredible, also the whole video is fun to watch, Thanks

Authentic way of making perfect coconut oil.. How patient you are😊

Mam hats off to your patience and work. I recommend everyone to see the process of extracting pure oil in South India . The oil is called "Marachekku oil". You can search by its name.That videos are worth a watch.

I've learned from my neighboor that she use to help her mom the method of extracting coconut oil. They use it for cooking and never even buy it from any store. Every single oil was from scratched. Now that i bought a land full of coconut tree, i will definitely try this method. Thank you for sharing a great video.❤ Love from me, Suzie from Malaysia.

I am speechless watching this. Oh so thankful and grateful to you for sharing this with us.

I can smell trough the screen the beautiful smell of the coconut .

Beautiful choice of relaxing music 👍🏿♥️

Excellent! You’ve made me realize what I missed when I was making coconut oil decades ago LOL I heard how to make it in one local radio station, but my problem was I can’t completely separate the oil from the curd that’s why after a day, the oil tasted rancid. I was making it to help cure my sister’s lupus. My father was also tempted to drink it but also noticed the rancid taste. I’ve already thought of putting it in a fridge but never had a chance to do it due to lack of time and lack of grated coconut. Now after decades, I stumbled on one video about how to make it. It was also excellent, but yours is better for you’re able to remove most of the curd and water. I would say put the finish product in strainer again so as to remove the excess water. I know there’s still a bit of water there. Thanks! I can’t wait to make mine.

So many steps, now I've learned why cold pressed virgin coconut oil is so expensive, thank you so much for sharing !👍👍💖💖

I admire your patience. Very inspiring!

I’ve seen this method during early 1980’s, my oldest aunt she used to do it in a similar manner, though no refrigerator at that time for us(Maldives). She kept switching the container and removing water, I think it took her about a week to get the final oils. Thanks for the share for which I have forgotten, with a little upgrade 🙂.

can't tell the value of it !!!!!!! much love and honour from Sri Lanka for sharing. .. from an island full of coconuts. ! ! but unaware of this precious process . !!

Impeccable process and I love the touch of Classical Music added to enhance my mood! What a joy to witness your years of culinary skill and cultural tradition wrapped into one lovely vid.

Hit the like button immediately when the music started. Great taste!!! 🙏🎶❤️❤️❤️

That's why I pay so much to keep it in my house, so much work. Thank you for sharing. Now I won't complain about the price.

Every government should this video DVD & 100 coconuts to each citizen and tell them to extract virgin coconut oil and permission to leave home only when it matches this standard.This is the best way to do stay home stay safe to beat the COVID 19 pandemic . Jokes apart the recipe and process is very delightful. Loved it.

Oh my god... Divine... its an art. you are the Icon of patience... the music flows... you are great.

Great video ,Your way is clear and organized ,thanks a lot

I just try to make it and follow your step. Now I'm still at step one, freezing the coconut milk. Thank you for sharing the video. I'm excited to make VCO by myself

Literally I'm surprised by this video.....its the best.......I love the serene sense with the one who makes the cold pressed coconut oil......its a piece of art....hats off👏👏......need more such videos like this.....and the surprising thing is I haven't even forwarded it not even once......💙

Having said so : Your "labour of love"(read plenty patience!!) Certainly deserves due appreciation 🙏🏻

Your time and dedication is one of a kind. Good work and thanks for sharing.

Nice, I will not feel bad for paying 27$ for coconut oil now

Very interesting, I was unaware it was that simple, Thanks for posting.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love your video. I'm at the fermentation stage...I can hug you. I use coconut oil for my hair oils, cooking and baking. This will be for 'extra special circumstances and for my face and body'. I do now know however, that the 100% pure coconut oil that I buy is not actually 100% pure. Thank you for an excellent video.

Hello!!! The oil turned our fantastic, the quality of the oil is so nice and so is it penetrative power into the skin. It's not sticky at all! I fed my dog as well, she loved it💞 thank you so much for sharing once again 👍

Your video was awesome to watch. Thank you so much for showing us how. You must be a very patient person to do it.

I just subscribed because I found your channel today and appreciate your simplicity, dedication to the the art of true processes and beauty in your presentations. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and skills - I know they are based on long histories of traditions. I hope you inspire the world to appreciate quality and goodness as much as possible.

I appreciate the step by step demonstration. I normally make coconut oil by boiling. I think this is better as it retains all the nutritional value needed.

Interesting! I had no idea it was made that way. That would be a nice project to get the kids involved in as well. Thank s for sharing! :D

I saw another method but it was with heat, it works way faster but you get less oil in comparison with this one, because heat tends to burn it, the white /clear oil will come out, but by keeping aplying heat, the oil becomes yellow, and after some time it stops being useful to cooking

Wow! What a labour of love. I enjoy the style of this video, and the music that accompanies it. Thank you!

Oh my goodness! I discovered your channel a few months ago and I know the recipes are great but your selected music is SOOO relaxing that I miss the steps and have to watch over. 😊 I love your channel. Thanks for sharing and bringing our blood pressures down. God bless!🙂❤️🙂

It may naturally solidify in your Climate. Here in tropical climate like India, We heat to seperate oil from curd, in one go, so its more biscuit colour and more thicker.

I loved this video, as soon as I get hands on some dry coconuts I will try it

You’re method is commendable this is my third I’m doing the process !

Two things Thanks for using Chopin nocturnes as background music. It made me continue to watch it. Second as an aromatherapist I appreciate your efforts.

Aloha and mahalo for teaching us how to make our own coconut oil . You can get a lot from a fresh coconut :) oil , milk, curd, cream, and water

I found this very therapeutic, thank you for sharing!

This is the healthiest extract video i seen so far

Now I know what cold compressed coconut oil is.Good work.

W O W! That was a whole lot of work! Time & dedication! A very nice video but I can't do it!

Girl bless your heart . Thank you for this tutorial 🙏🙌🙏🙌

Wow! I have been wondering how to make coconut oil and here it is👌. Thank you.

Instead of lifting the solids, put a hole in the solid and drain the liquid. Simple, clean and easy. Thanks for the recipe.

This is one of the greatest videos in RU-vid ♡ Thank you for this video 💕

This was so satisfying to watch

Perfect quarantine project if I had some coconut!

You are really a hardworking person. Thanks a lot.

this video is almost 10 minutes of meditation:) wow pure coconut joy!:) lovely!:)

That's how we make ghee directly from milk too.

India is blessed to have coconut....... here coconut is available readily and I love eating coconut....... virgin coconut is also not that expensive here....... enjoying reading comments from other countries

I made coconut oil a few times using scraping and cooking methods but never knew this method. Thank you so much. Also remember we used to make delicious sweet toffee after separating the oil from remain stuff but they were different from this method remains.

I just want to eat the coconut as you're taking the pieces out lol

Wonderful video! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us; God bless you.

Just a heads up, if you have a watertight seal on your jar at the end you can put it in the fridge upside down and the water will be right at the top and easy to pour off.

So very patient in doing this 😊 We also started last year our journey in making virgin coconut oil that's why we appreciate you making this 😊😊

Peaceful cuisine similarities. I like his no-talk videos too. :-)

Amazing Vídeo. The music is wonderful. Congrats from Brasil

Thanks for sharing new knowledge of making coconut oil. Because, i make coconut oil by boiling a coconut milk on pan 😊

I made this too, at first I made this for my pregnant wife, then my neighbors and friends also wanted it, and now I produce VCO and sell it, because the VCO are very good for health. In indonesia VCO called "minyak kelapa murni"

So much of oil from.2 coconuts.amazing.

I love each steps....it took time but definately worth it :)

This is something I will try very soon. I use coconut oil, cream and milk in most of my recipes. Love the background music, very relaxing.🎵😌

Wow I’m definitely saving this video to my favorites. Going to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. I will some day make this oil , insha ALLAH. Thanks for sharing this process

Dry coconut in sunlight, and then get oil from it by pressing, for better reference search on RU-vid South Indian coconut oil mills
