We press our coconut oil from fresh desiccated coconut: the white kernel of mature coconuts from farms in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, pared, shredded and dried to below 6% moisture before it reaches our press. Most coconut oil starts as copra instead, coconut dried for days in the sun or in kilns.
Pressed once and left to settle, it has a clean, fresh coconut aroma for everyday cooking, baking, hair and skin.

Cooking tips
For everyday cooking. Use it for tadkas, stir-fries and Kerala and Tamil dishes like thoran, avial and kootu.
Finish with it raw. A spoonful over avial, puttu or rice, with a few curry leaves, brings out the fresh coconut aroma.
Baking. Melt it and use it in place of butter in cakes and cookies.
How it's made
Mature coconuts from farms in Kerala and Tamil Nadu are pared and shredded, and the white kernel is dried to below 3% moisture. This desiccated coconut goes through our press a single time. The oil rests for 2–5 days so the fine particles settle, then it's sieve-filtered and bottled. No refining, bleaching or deodorising.
Ingredients and storage
Ingredients: 100% cold-pressed coconut oil from fresh desiccated coconut. Nothing added.
Storage: keep tightly closed, away from direct sunlight. It turns white and solid below about 24°C; stand the bottle in warm water to melt it.

Kerala and Tamil Nadu are among India's biggest coconut-growing states, with palms along the coast and across the plains.
The kernel
Dried quickly, not for days
To make desiccated coconut, the brown skin is pared off the white kernel, which is shredded and dried quickly to below 6% moisture. Copra, by contrast, is coconut dried for days in the sun or in kilns.
The farmers
Radhika Nair, Mararikulam, Kerala
For over 25 years, Radhika has tended West Coast Tall coconut palms on her family farm. The coconuts are harvested fully mature and naturally dried before they are pressed.
From farm to press
Pressed once
The desiccated coconut comes to our pressing unit, where it goes through our press a single time. The oil rests for 2–5 days and is sieve-filtered before bottling.
How it compares
Not all coconut oil is made the same way
Three common ways coconut oil reaches Indian kitchens, side by side.
| Compare |
 Nune single-pressed
|
Centrifuged virgin coconut oil
|
Regular coconut oil (copra)
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Made from | Fresh desiccated coconut (white kernel) | Coconut milk from fresh kernel | Copra: coconut dried for days in the sun or in kilns |
| Water in the process | None. The kernel is dry before pressing | Yes. Oil is separated out of coconut milk | None |
| How the oil comes out | Pressed once, then settled naturally | Chilled and spun in a centrifuge | Expeller-pressed from copra |
| Refined, bleached or deodorised | Never | No | Often |
| Counts as virgin coconut oil | Yes | Yes | No |
| Lab report on the page | Yes, see above | Varies by brand | Varies by brand |
Centrifuged and pressed oils are both genuine virgin coconut oil, and both are naturally rich in lauric acid. We chose pressing because keeping water out from the very first step helps the oil stay fresh.

Results for one sample, tested 3–9 June 2023 (reports EQNX:001:LAB:F:23:06:00462 A and B). Acid value is a freshness check; the other values confirm the oil is pure coconut oil.
What we're cooking
Cooking with coconut oil
Three Kerala and Tamil Nadu favourites, made with coconut oil.
Avial
Kerala's mixed vegetables in a coconut and curd sauce, finished with raw coconut oil and curry leaves.

Why Nune
Coconut oil, the way it should start
Five things people ask before switching to Nune.
01 Why choose Nune coconut oil?
Because of where it starts. Most coconut oil is pressed from copra, coconut that has been dried for days in the sun or in kilns. Ours is pressed from fresh desiccated coconut, then left to settle and lab-tested. Nothing is added and nothing is refined away.
02 What does single-pressed mean?
The coconut goes through our press one time. We bottle the oil from that single pass and don't press the leftover cake again for extra yield.
03 Why desiccated coconut and not copra?
Desiccated coconut is the white kernel of mature coconuts with the brown skin pared off, shredded and dried to below 3% moisture. It is food-grade coconut, the same kind used in sweets and baking.
Because the kernel is already dry when we press it, water never enters the oil. Moisture is one of the main reasons coconut oil turns sour.
04 How do I use it?
Cook with it every day: tadkas, stir-fries, Kerala and Tamil dishes, and baking in place of butter. Outside the kitchen, warm a little between your palms for a scalp massage before washing, or use it as a fragrance-free body oil.
05 Why has my oil turned white and solid?
Pure coconut oil solidifies below about 24°C, so it often turns white in winter or in an air-conditioned room. Stand the bottle in warm water for a few minutes and it melts back to clear liquid. Quality is not affected.

I chose this single-pressed coconut oil specifically for its extraction method and it performs exactly as expected. Unlike refined oils, this extraction avoids excessive heat and chemical processing, which helps retain naturally occurring bioactive compounds. You must buy it.
