Default Difference between MeritVCO virgin coconut oil and coconut oil that we get in market?

What is difference between MeritVCO virgin coconut oil and coconut oil that we get in market?

MeritVCO Virgin coconut oil is extracted from Narial (Coconut basicaly from adsal ) where as coconut oil is extracted from dryed coconut.Most commercial grade coconut oils are made from copra. Copra is basically the dried kernel (meat) of the coconut. It can be made by: smoke drying, sun drying, or kiln drying , or derivatives or a combination of these three. If standard copra is used as a starting material, the unrefined coconut oil extracted from copra is not suitable for consumption and must be purified, that is refined.

Virgin coconut oil is extracted using Wet-milling. With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. "Coconut milk" is expressed first by pressing. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge technology.where as cococnut oil(You get in market ) is extracted using hot process using expeller.(Apply high heat to get better recovery)
