M. Figueroa Enterprises both grows and processes the coconuts on our own certified organic farm, ensuring that only the best and freshest coconuts are used. The coconuts are de-husked, grated, and the fresh coconut meat is then cold-pressed and filtered. This retains the enzymes, lauric acid, and all the other immune system building nutrients. Except for picking and opening the nut, there is little human handling in our process.  Stainless steel mechanical equipment is used in order to provide a sanitary controlled environment in the processing plant. The coconut oil is strained and immediately bottled. No chemicals or preservatives are added. You only get pure unadulterated  virgin coconut oil.
