Naturally organic, cold pressed, handmade in Vanuatu. This is The Good Stuff. We also produce other products made with this beautiful Coconut Oil. Our coconut oil comes from Tanna Island, Vanuatu, where coconuts grow on family farms at the edge of the sea and the foot of a live volcano. They thrive in the rich soils, ocean breezes, abundant sunshine and tropical rainfall of this Pacific paradise, then crack to the ground when nature deems they’re ready. Local farmers and their families gather the coconuts and husk them using sharp spikes of wood or metal called kakers, before sending them to our small factory at Lenakel, on Tanna’s west coast. There our factory staff grate the flesh, then dry and press it by hand, to create our extra virgin coconut oil. It takes time and care to produce, so we package our oil in glass, not plastic, to ensure you enjoy an unadulterated taste of the Pacific. Our coconut oil is 100% natural, 100% handmade, and created with a 100% renewable energy source – The DME ( Direct Micro Expelling ) process we follow uses coconut shell and husk as fuel, so that nothing goes to waste. That’s good news for you and for the environment, and good news for the people of Tanna. Other forms of coconut oil production can see old coconuts taken far from their plantations to be processed with chemicals or high heat, without local employment. Our coconuts are processed on the island they were grown on, with local people given sustainable employment in our small factory. We teach skills and empower communities to determine their own future. Tanna Farms - empowering the communities of Vanuatu.
