Why Wood Cold Pressed Coconut Oil Is Different

Most coconut oils sold in supermarkets today are refined, bleached, and deodorised at temperatures above 200°C — a process that destroys lauric acid, natural antioxidants, and the characteristic coconut aroma. Precious wood cold pressed coconut oil skips all of that. Our traditional chekku extraction runs at room temperature, preserving every nutrient, every fatty acid, and every drop of natural fragrance that makes this oil so effective.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Cold Pressed Coconut Oil

Is Precious coconut oil cold-pressed and chemical-free?
Yes. Our coconut oil is cold-pressed from sulphur-free, sun-dried copra sourced from Tamil Nadu farmers using traditional wooden churner (ghani) methods. It contains zero chemicals, zero preservatives, and zero additives.

What is the difference between cold-pressed coconut oil and refined coconut oil?
Refined coconut oil is bleached and deodorised at high temperatures, destroying the natural lauric acid, antioxidants, and aroma. Cold-pressed coconut oil retains all its medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), natural fragrance, and nutritional benefits because no heat is applied.

Can I use Precious coconut oil for cooking and frying?
Yes. Cold-pressed coconut oil has a smoke point of around 177°C (350°F) and is ideal for sautéing, tempering, baking, and South Indian cooking. It adds a mild, pleasant coconut flavour.

Is Precious coconut oil good for hair and scalp?
Absolutely. Cold-pressed coconut oil is one of the most effective natural hair oils — it penetrates the hair shaft deeply to reduce protein loss, combat dryness, and add natural shine. Warm it slightly and massage into your scalp for best results.

Can I use this coconut oil for skin care and baby massage?
Yes. Our coconut oil is 100% natural and free of harsh additives, making it gentle enough for skin moisturisation, lip care, and baby massage.

Is Precious coconut oil suitable for oil pulling?
Yes. Coconut oil is a traditional choice for oil pulling (kavala) in Ayurveda. Swish one tablespoon for 10–15 minutes in the morning, then spit it out and rinse.

Why does my coconut oil solidify in cold weather?
Solidification below 24°C (76°F) is completely normal and is actually a sign of purity — refined oils often stay liquid because their natural fats have been altered. Simply warm the bottle in hot water to liquefy it.

What sizes are available?
Precious wood cold pressed coconut oil is available in 500ml, 1 litre, and 5 litre packs. The 5L is popular with families who use it daily across cooking, hair care, and skin care routines.
