Wood-Pressed Coconut Oil from Konkan: What to Know
Coconut is an important part of Konkan agriculture and food culture. Coconut oil is one of the familiar products made from this regional crop, and wood pressing is a traditional processing method used to extract oil.
What is wood pressing?
Wood pressing uses a traditional ghani-style process in which coconut material is mechanically pressed to release oil. Processing details can vary by facility, so the product label is the best source for the specific ingredients and handling information of a particular bottle.
Using coconut oil in the kitchen
Coconut oil can be used in cooking and traditional recipes where its flavour and characteristics suit the dish. Start with the quantity appropriate for your recipe and follow the product's storage instructions.
Choosing a bottle size
A smaller bottle can be useful when trying a product for the first time, while a larger bottle can suit households that use coconut oil regularly.
Our Wood Pressed Coconut Oil is made from Konkan coconuts and is currently available in 200 ml and 500 ml sizes.
