Gold Label coconut oil is one of the very best coconut oils on the market today. Gold Label uses coconuts that are grown organically in the nutrient rich volcanic soils that surround Mt. Banahaw in the Philippines. This amazingly growing environment produces some of the most nutrient packed coconuts in the world. Numerous independent laboratory tests have shown that Gold Label coconut oil has higher levels of  phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils have, making it a healthier choice than other types of coconut oil.

Only the very best coconuts go into Gold Label Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. All the coconuts used in Gold Label coconut oil are grown on family farms that surround Mt. Banahaw, are handpicked with care and made into coconut oil within 48 hours of being harvested. Unlike most other brands of coconut oil, Gold Label coconut oil is not mass produced; it is made by hand, with care, using old Philippine traditional methods by the coconut farmers and their communities. All the farms and coconuts that Gold Label uses are USDA certified organic, and all the farmers are trained and re-certified annually according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
