MCT coconut oil, organic

Ölmühle Solling's organic MCT coconut oil is extracted only mechanically, without chemical additives. Tasteless and odorless. MCT oil is quickly converted into energy, making it ideal for low-carb, ketogenic and paleo diets. Ideal for cocktails, salad dressings or keto coffee.

MCT oil consists of medium-chain triglycerides: 100 g of oil contains 60 g of caprylic acid (C8) and 40 g of capric acid (C10).

Vegetable oils are best stored in dark, tightly closed bottles in a cool place. Therefore, do not place the oil bottle on a windowsill or in direct sunlight. Oil is damaged by ultraviolet rays, oxygen and heat, so it quickly deteriorates and begins to smell bad. Do not store too much oil, only enough to last half a year. Cold-pressed vegetable oils, with rare exceptions, are valid for 9-12 months, when stored under normal, recommended conditions.

Oil looks like a deceptively simple product. It seems that you squeeze out seeds, nuts or other fatty fruits, and the oil is ready. There is no need to worry about preservatives - it preserves itself, it is not a salad - it will not wilt, it is not a cake - it will not curdle, it is not yogurt - it will not spoil in a week, it is not an apple - the rash will not be visible. Do not evaporate, do not boil, do not remove and store in the refrigerator.

But it is deceptively simple. Good oil requires exceptionally high-quality raw materials. Neither spoiled (olives, avocados) nor old raw materials (seeds, nuts) are suitable. And the pressing process is not so elementary - yes, the pressure is mechanical, but it must be controlled so that the temperature does not rise sharply, as this spoils the oil. Imagine the heat generated when squeezing the oil from the pits?

To extract oil, along with the two raw materials and machinery already mentioned, you need a third component - a person who knows how to combine plants and machines. It is for these reasons that we have started working together with a small German ecological oil press company Oil mill Solling .

Ölmühle Solling is real family business . Gudrun and Werner Baensch have worked in other countries for a long time - in South America, Asia - teaching local residents to make products with higher added value. These skills are very useful in today's business, when it comes to purchasing raw materials from such exotic countries, where both plants and people's communication habits are new. This year the company turned 20 years old, its management was given to children, the founders themselves are involved in communication with customers, quality control and the discovery of new products.

Ölmühle Solling's high-quality, extensive ecological cold pressed (unrefined) oils for both food and body. The oil is pressed in small portions, poured into small barrels, for sensitive oils (such as linseed oil) the remaining volume is filled with hydrogen gas to prevent the oxidation process. Only after receiving the order from the customer is it filled into dark glass bottles and shipped the same day. The oldest passion of Baensch'ų is coconut oil , it began to be prepared at a time when it was not yet on the "wave".

How do they achieve their renowned quality (which in many European countries is considered the standard by which even their competitors measure themselves)? First, purchases raw materials only from reliable suppliers , without looking for the cheapest ones. If new ones appear, they go to physically check whether the processes are working properly. Secondly, Each batch of raw materials is tested in the laboratory for mineral oil, plastic and pesticide residues. Mineral oil residues are a typical sign of untidy machinery, when even small amounts of machine oil get into the product. Plastic residues are caused by poor quality machinery and containers. Pesticide residues indicate that the plants were not grown and kept in accordance with the requirements of organic farming and production.

Freshly harvested oilseeds and nuts from local and overseas organic farms are cold-pressed into valuable, natural vegetable oils. This preserves both the natural plant materials and the oil's characteristic rich flavor, as well as the fatty acids necessary for a healthy and balanced diet.

Since 1996, Ölmühle Solling has been operating in accordance with the Naturland association's standards, which in many cases are stricter than those required by EU law. The Naturland standards were developed and put into effect long before the EU directives on organic farming were adopted.
