We often get to hear about extra virgin coconut oil. What is this extra virgin coconut oil? How is the extra virgin coconut oil different from virgin coconut oil?

As a result manufacturers make their own definitions and sell their products. Virgin coconut oil is normally referred to coconut oil that is prepared using mechanical means without the addition of any chemicals.

According to the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community, which has provided APCC Standards for Virgin Coconut Oil, "virgin coconut oil is obtained from the fresh and mature kernel of coconut by mechanical or natural means with or without the application of heat, which does not lead to alteration of the oil". When one refers to coconut oil as extra virgin coconut oil, the word 'extra' is indeed extra. The APCC does not mention anything about extra virgin coconut oil. Hence for practical purposes, extra virgin coconut oil, in my opinion, should be considered as virgin coconut oil.

andy covitz  - coconut oil 2009-09-24 14:00:43 I just bought a large tub of extra virgin organic raw coconut oil my skin breaks out when the oil is put on face, not a problem on the rest of my body. My eyes get blurry after I place the oil on my face. Why is this? Eating it seems to cause no problems. Thanks Reply
