Cold-pressed oils retain all their flavor, aroma and nutritional value, making these oils ideal for cooking and skin care.

Nilaa's traditional oil extraction process
The best coconuts come directly from the micro farmers in India. These are sun-dried and the 100% natural oil is extracted by a stone mill with a wooden pestle that rotates only 7 times per minute, just like the traditional ox mill. This avoids heating and preserves the nutrition and real flavors.
This oil is left in sunlight for 5 days to allow the sediments to settle. The oil preserves the natural goodness of coconut because it is extracted naturally without the addition of chemical additives or solvents.
