Here's the difference between expeller pressed oil and virgin oil. Tropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is a high quality refined coconut oil that is certified organic. This oil is processed the "old" way by what is called "physical refining." The modern way of processing coconut oil is by chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil DOES NOT use solvent extracts. It is made by expeller-pressed mechanical extraction. This oil is also NOT hydrogenated, and contains NO trans fatty acids. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil is made from certified organic coconuts that have NOT been treated with chemicals or fertilizers. It is certified organic according to European and USDA standards. Our Expeller-Pressed coconut oil is high in the medium chain fatty acids, such as Lauric acid. Expeller Pressed Coconut oil is less expensive than Virgin Coconut Oil because it is machine made, and because it goes through a steam deodorizing process, the taste is very bland, unlike Virgin Coconut Oil which retains the odor and taste of fresh coconuts. Some people prefer a bland, tasteless coconut oil. Virgin Coconut Oil is unrefined, and has a much stronger taste. There are many coconut oils on the market today, and some of them are labeled as "Virgin" even though they are mild or have no taste, because they are mass-produced by machine. Don't pay high prices for mass-produced machine-made coconut oils.
