The Manufacturing process.
- Sourcing of coconuts: All coconuts are carefully handpicked from organic certified coconut estates to make the best and the healthiest at Heritage Lanka Virgin Coconut Oil.
- De-husking: Removing the coconut husk from the fresh coconut
- De-shelling: The de-shelling takes place where the nut shell is removed from the handpicked coconuts. A supervisor checks each & every coconut to ensure that there are no damaged coconuts being fed into the production process
- De-pairing: This step removes the brown skin once the shell is removed. The supervisor cross checks whether any damaged nuts are still present before being fed into the process further.
- Washing Kernel: At this stage, each nut is carefully washed and cleaned to ensure hygienic conditions of the final product. All water used for washing are certified and approved from labs in order to be used in the production process.
- Raw Desiccated Coconut: Kernel is inserted into the cutters and broken down into pieces in order to make Desiccated coconut. Thereafter desiccated coconut is fed into trays to prepare for the next step.
- Drying: For this, the temperature levels are maintained below 60 degrees Celsius and thereafter, it is being inserted into the expeller machine to extract crude oil.
- Expelling: The dried Desiccated Coconut will be pressed through the expeller machine to produce crude virgin coconut oil.
- Filtering: After expelling is done, filter machines are used to filter the oil – in order to obtain extra virgin coconut oil it is filtered twice via filter press machines and cotton filters.
- Storage: Finally, the Virgin Coconut Oil is carefully stored in all closed stainless steel tanks to maintain hygienic conditions of the final product.
