Best Coconut Oil for Cooking in India – Cold Pressed & Farm Direct
Finding the best coconut oil for cooking in India depends on two key factors: how the coconuts are grown and how the oil is extracted.
At SalemMango, our coconut oil is produced from mature coconuts grown in farms of Salem Mango in Tamil Nadu using traditional cultivation methods and slow cold-press extraction.
Healthy coconut oil begins with healthy coconut trees.
Young saplings known locally as தென்னம்பிள்ளை / தென்னங்கன்று are planted with wide spacing so each tree receives adequate sunlight and nutrients.
The extraction process determines the purity of coconut oil.
Only fully matured coconuts are chosen.
The coconuts are dehusked and naturally sun dried.
Copra is slowly pressed using wooden chekku equipment to avoid heat damage.
Cold pressed coconut oil has been used for generations in South Indian cooking.
