No. On the contrary, our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil receives much more special care and attention than most mass-produced machine-made coconut oil could ever receive. Every family approved to sell us Gold Label standard Virgin Coconut Oil must undergo stringent quality control training and have their facilities inspected. We set standards that they must abide by, such as how old the coconuts can be that are used (24 hours after harvesting), the type of coconuts, the instruments used for processing, like graters and presses, etc. Equipment used to produce the oil is dedicated to Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil production only, and usually provided for by the company. Cement floors are used in the production facilities. In addition, our producers are small family businesses that live in rural areas away from the pollution of the cities, like on Mt. Banahaw. To assure standards are maintained and that only the best quality oil is produced, all producers are organized into groups that are managed by overseers, which in turn are organized into groups that are managed by area managers. So when Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is delivered to our warehouse for packaging, it has already been inspected 3 times before final inspection at the warehouse prior to packaging into drums or retail packages. Laboratory tests (done on every batch shipped to the US) have continually confirmed that our traditional methods of testing the oil by sight (clarity), smell, and taste result in a very high quality oil.  Moisture levels are consistently below 0.1%, the industry standard for commercial refined coconut oil. This is due to the extreme care that is used from the selection of the coconuts used, to the actual making of the oil, and the complete removal of any moisture. We seriously doubt that any other coconut oil on the market has received such personal care, or could claim to have a higher quality or cleaner handling than our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.
