Coconut oil has long been a staple in kitchens across Kerala—and for good reason. It’s not just a cooking medium here, but a symbol of nourishment, wellness, and cultural pride. At our food products business in Chalakudy, Thrissur, we carry forward this heritage through our expeller-pressed coconut oil, made with care, clarity, and commitment to quality.
If you’re searching for the best coconut oil in Thrissur, you’ve just found it. Ours is made the traditional way, with no chemicals or shortcuts—just the authentic flavor and aroma that Kerala homes have cherished for generations.
Our Story: Rooted in Kerala’s Coconut Legacy
Kerala isn’t called “God’s Own Country” for nothing—and coconuts are at the heart of our landscape, our cuisine, and our traditions. At our small-scale business, we’re proud to produce coconut oil using the expeller-pressing technique, a method that has stood the test of time.
We don’t rely on shortcuts, additives, or fancy processing. Instead, we use a mechanical expeller to extract oil from dried coconut (copra), capturing the rich aroma and authentic taste that only true coconut oil can offer.
This isn’t a marketing gimmick—it’s how our grandmothers did it, and it’s how we believe it should be done.
What Is Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil?
Expeller-pressed coconut oil is produced by mechanically pressing the dried coconut kernel (copra) in a screw-type machine called an expeller. This method uses pressure and friction, and may involve some heat due to the mechanical action, but no chemicals or solvents are used.
Health Benefits of Pure Coconut Oil
While the term “cold-pressed” often gets more attention in the health food world, traditional expeller-pressed coconut oil still offers impressive health benefits when produced correctly and consumed in moderation.
1. Rich in Good Fats
Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid, which are easier to digest and convert into energy faster.
2. Supports Immunity
Lauric acid also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping your body fight off harmful microbes naturally.
3. Promotes Digestive Health
Because of its chemical structure, coconut oil is gentler on the stomach and can help improve digestion, especially when used regularly in cooking.
4. Skin and Hair Benefits
Our expeller-pressed coconut oil is just as beneficial outside the kitchen. It works wonders for moisturizing dry skin, strengthening hair, and soothing minor irritations.
🔍 Expert Note: Several studies, including those from the National Institutes of Health and Journal of Lipid Research, support the potential health benefits of virgin coconut oil and expeller-pressed oils, especially when made without chemical refinement.
