What comes out is clear, odourless and long-lasting — but a lot of what made it coconut oil has been stripped away in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWood pressed oil takes the slower road. Sun-dried copra is fed into a wooden \u003cem\u003emarachekku\u003c\/em\u003e that rotates at low speed, so the temperature stays low and the oil is squeezed out rather than cooked out. That is why our oil smells like an actual coconut when you open the bottle, and why it may turn cloudy or solid below 24°C — a natural sign that it has not been refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy customers choose ALAI\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWe make it ourselves.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our own pressing unit, our own quality checks.
