This technique restores the natural qualities of the coconut and is an unrefined and pure form of coconut oil.
Cold Pressed is a great method to extract coconut oil while safeguarding its nutrients. The meat of the coconut is shredded and pressed to extract as much milk as possible. Then the milk is kept aside undisturbed for 24 hours, after which it separates into 3 layers: water, cream, and oil in between them.

SO, after removing the milk and water, we get a smooth virgin...
