Natural and Organic
Virgin Coconut Oils (VCO) by Manila Coco Bio-Essence are pressure-induced food grade coconut oils through proprietary advanced mechanical expellers (Manila VirginFlo), without the use of solvents, no hexane, nor any chemical.
Fresh mature coconut kernels (non-copra) are grated within 36 - 48 hours from fruit harvest, steam-cleaned, then, blanched, and desiccated dry to best capture its plant sterols and essences. The resulting meal is then aseptically pressed to crude oil, with the faintest heat necessary to reduce moisture to its lowest level to avoid oxidation and for longer shelf life. Without interruption, this raw oil is filtered through natural earth carbon from final impurities before it is sent to storage tanks in its purest form.
Only non-GMO coconuts from robust juicy trees not more than 50 years old within organic farm estates are used. Governmental bio-researchers have long found out that trees older than half a century tend to be less productive with anemic fruits, sub-prime senile, and prone to a lot of tree diseases. Farm and processing aspects are in conformity to the Philippine National Identity Standards (Codex Alimentarius) of the Bureau of Food and Drug and 3rd party organic certification by Ecocert of Germany.
100% Pure Virgin, Unblended, Safe
By first cold-press, the Manila VirginFlo method retains the natural fresh coconut phytonutrients, as evidenced by its light sweet taste and aroma, with its crystalline water-white color, non-greasy fluid, and free of sediment and rancidity. Unlike other extraction methods, Manila VirginFlo does not use any fermentation enzyme, nor decanting common to village pressed oils. No conventional chemical refining, no bleaching, no deodorizing (no RBD), no hydrogenation. It does not alter the oil's integral native carbon-chain structures, keeping free fatty acid negligible, moisture almost nil, and peroxide and iodine values very low - key indicators of unadulterated VCO.
Altered Coconut Oils – such as Deodorized, Distilled, or Fractionated Coconut Oils – loose all anti-oxidants (Tocopherols, Vitamin E) in very high heat processing. These do not carry the same kind and amount of beneficial fatty acids as 100% pure, unblended VCO. As such, these are properly labeled “NOT VIRGIN”, or merely “coconut oil”, despite these being co-labeled no-pesticides “Organic”.
More distinctly, Manila Coco feed meal and oil extraction undergo consistent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), HACCP (Hazard Analyses and Critical Control Points) and ISO procedures to carefully assure every single time our best quality oil, and prevent any pollutant or micro contamination. These Good-Housekeeping best practices may not be mandatory in traditional wet-milling or low-tech manual methods due to cost considerations. And all these guarantee our VCO as safe, not blended with other processed or fractionated oils, yet, simply 100% pure virgin coconut oil.
Published studies showed that VCO's medium chain triglycerides (MCT) mimic those of mother's breast milk that boost infant immune system and brain development with its DHA and ARA nutrients - which found their way in professional infant formulas. In adults, it also causes metabolic rate increases (good for weight loss) because VCO is easily digestible and converted directly to energy in the liver. Cataloged researches revealed that Monolaurin, the monoglyceride derivative of VCO's lauric acid (C 12) inside the body has shown broad-spectrum antiseptic action against bacteria, fungi, and drug-resistant viruses.
This makes our VCO excellent dietary supplement by itself or mixed with other prepared foods, juice drinks/smoothies or other beverages. And even for fun flavor on popcorns, too!
We believe Manila Coco VCO offers better value !
No. 1 : Manila Coco Better VCO Product of Quality Consistency in Every Pack at Competitive Prices. Because we extract and pack VCO from a singular factory location, we control product quality consistently. We also guarantee its uncompromised integrity and safety from contaminants in every pack. Manila Coco relies on long-standing allies - a few larger-volume farm estate plantations (fair-trade) to select the appropriate fruit variety. Blanching the nut kernels by steam sterilizes, and retains complete essential oils. Continuous milling of quick dry feedmeal, through desiccation avoids micro contamination.
 Manila Coco Total System Advantage. Through out all these production best practices, professionally managed, including state-of-the-art oil expeller extraction, we assure consumers of the highest authentic quality possible, regularity of supply, and low-cost regime. These give warrant to premium quality at competitive retail prices.
No. 2 : To buy direct from the source – Manila Coco Factory Brand – yields many advantages.
Because we produce our own VCO product that we sell ex-factory directly online, it does –
- Avoid the risk of contamination from antiquated, less rigorous processing;
- Avoid the risk of commingling various VCO grades, adulteration or blending with non-VCO oils;
No. 3 : To buy Manila Coco Factory Brand helps sustain eco-farm best practices.
More importantly, Manila Coco ploughs back cost savings from direct e-retailing -
- To local farming communities in support of eco-friendly practices, better working conditions and pay for farm estate workers and allied suppliers in the spirit of fair trade;
- To making our top quality VCO superior for enhanced customer satisfaction and health care.

Manila Coco Virgin Coconut Oil + Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Best of Both Worlds !
Virgin Coco de Manila Premium Organic VCO as non-GMO culinary ingredient is classified as "GRAS" - generally regarded as safe and suited for any home or foodservice kitchen use (in either water-white liquid or snow-white solid form) especially in low-to-medium heat cooking, baking, sautéing or garnishing vegetable salads.
Tale of Two Virgins: Coco and Olive - Virgin Coconut Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). Though extracted under similar cold press processes, VCO differs from EVOO. VCOs are mostly (92%) beneficial saturated fatty acids, particularly medium chain triglycerides (MCT) at 62%. Conversely, EVOO contains mostly (83%) unsaturated fatty acids. While EVOO is a good source of Omega 3, for immunity and cardio vascular strength, VCO's essential fatty acids - MCT - is closest to mother's breast milk, a one-of-a-kind source for the development of infant immune and nervous systems. On adults, the fusion of VCO's MCT and EVOO's Omega 3 would definitely be the most potent combination of essential fatty acids on this planet.
