Cold pressed or expeller pressed coconut oil still contain most of its natural antioxidant properties which counteract oxidation and free radical destruction. These antioxidant characteristics are the reason why quality virgin coconut oil (VCO) can have a shelf life of up to 10 years. This type of oil is extracted from fresh and/or good quality dried coconut meat (copra) using mechanical pressure and low temperatures, and without the use of chemicals. Expeller or cold pressed should not be confused with cold processed, though I admit the play of words makes me nuts. Cold processed (ANH - Absolutely No Heat) coconut oil is undoubtedly superior because the production process uses only fresh coconuts with no heat at all.
