Mesmara Cold Pressed Coconut Oil – Wood Pressed from Sun-Dried Coconuts

Mesmara Cold Pressed Coconut Oil — Traditional Coconut Oil Made from Sun-Dried Coconuts

Mesmara Cold Pressed Coconut Oil is made from carefully selected coconut kernels that are naturally sun-dried and then slowly pressed using a traditional wooden Chekku/Ghani.

Unlike Virgin Coconut Oil, which is extracted from fresh coconut milk, this traditional coconut oil is made from dried coconut kernels, also known as copra.

The result is a naturally aromatic coconut oil with the characteristic flavour of traditional coconut oil. It is versatile enough for everyday cooking and can also be used for traditional hair and skin care.

What Makes Mesmara Coconut Oil Different?

• Sun-dried coconut kernels: We use coconut kernels that are naturally sun-dried before pressing. Sun-drying reduces the moisture in the coconut and prepares the kernels for traditional oil extraction.
• Traditional wood pressing: The dried coconut kernels are slowly pressed using a traditional wooden Chekku/Ghani.
• Cold pressed: The oil is mechanically extracted without conventional chemical solvent extraction.
• Unrefined: Mesmara Coconut Oil is not refined, bleached or deodorised.
• Natural coconut aroma: Because the oil is minimally processed, it retains the characteristic aroma and flavour associated with coconut oil.
• Versatile: Use it for cooking, sautéing and traditional recipes, or as part of your hair and skin care routine.

What Is Coconut Oil Made From?

Coconut oil is extracted from the edible kernel or meat of mature coconuts. For traditional coconut oil, the coconut kernel is dried before pressing. The dried coconut is commonly known as copra.

Mesmara uses sun-dried coconut kernels and extracts the oil using a traditional wooden pressing method.

Sun-Dried Coconuts – A Traditional Method

Before modern processing methods became common, drying coconut was an important part of traditional coconut oil production.

Fresh coconut contains a significant amount of moisture. Drying the coconut kernel helps prepare it for mechanical oil extraction. At Mesmara, we follow this traditional approach by using sun-dried coconut kernels before pressing them.

The process is simple: Fresh coconut → Sun drying → Cleaning → Wooden pressing → Natural settling → Packing

How Mesmara Coconut Oil Is Made

1. Selecting the coconuts: We begin with carefully selected mature coconuts suitable for oil extraction.
2. Sun drying: The coconut kernels are naturally sun-dried to reduce moisture and prepare them for pressing.
3. Cleaning and preparation: The dried coconut kernels are cleaned and prepared before entering the oil press.
4. Traditional wood pressing: The prepared coconut kernels are slowly pressed using a traditional wooden Chekku/Ghani.
5. Natural settling: The freshly pressed oil is allowed to settle naturally.
6. Packing: Once settled and checked, the oil is carefully packed for your home.

Traditional Coconut Oil vs Virgin Coconut Oil

Mesmara offers two different types of coconut oil, made using different raw materials and extraction approaches.

Mesmara Coconut Oil:

• Made from sun-dried coconut kernels
• Also known as copra-based coconut oil
• Traditionally wood pressed
• Unrefined
• Characteristic coconut aroma and flavour
• Suitable for cooking and traditional personal care

Mesmara Virgin Coconut Oil:

• Made from fresh coconut
• Extracted from fresh coconut milk
• Cold processed
• Unrefined
• Fresh coconut aroma and flavour
• Available for cooking and personal care

The key difference is the starting material and extraction method. Choose traditional coconut oil made from sun-dried coconut when you prefer the characteristic flavour of traditionally produced coconut oil. Choose Virgin Coconut Oil when you specifically want coconut oil made from fresh coconut milk.

Cold Pressed vs Refined Coconut Oil

Cold Pressed Coconut Oil:

• Mechanically extracted
• Traditionally wood pressed
• No chemical solvent extraction
• Unrefined
• Not bleached or deodorised
• Naturally aromatic

Refined Coconut Oil:

• Goes through additional refining processes
• Typically more neutral in aroma and flavour
• May undergo bleaching and deodorisation depending on the refining process

Mesmara focuses on traditional mechanical extraction and minimal processing.

From Coconut To Oil – The Traditional Way

At Mesmara, we believe good oil begins with good raw materials and careful processing. Our coconut kernels are naturally sun-dried, carefully prepared and slowly pressed using traditional wooden Chekku/Ghani methods. We then allow the freshly pressed oil to settle naturally before packing.

No unnecessary refining. No artificial colours or flavours. Just traditional coconut oil made with care.

Pure. Traditional. Mesmara.
