What is Wood Pressed Coconut Oil?

Wood pressed coconut oil, also known as cold-pressed coconut oil, is extracted by crushing dried coconut kernels (copra) at low temperatures using traditional wooden presses. Unlike refined or heat-processed oils, wood pressing ensures that all the natural antioxidants, vitamins, and medium-chain fatty acids are preserved.
