FAQ
Is the saturated fat in VCO not bad for the health?
Some people think that since VCO has saturated fat, it is bad for their health. However, scientific studies have shown that cold-pressed virgin coconut oil’s medium-chain saturated fat does not raise the levels of bad cholesterol on the blood. Quite the opposite, in fact: they do raise levels of good cholesterol. These positive health benefit mean that cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is part of a healthy diet.

Our Vision
Our Mission
We envision a healthy and virus-free community that uses natural cold-pressed virgin coconut oil in the Caraga Region.
Our mission is to produce world class natural cold-pressed virgin coconut oil in its purest form to promote good health in the community and to help improve the quality of life of local coconut farmers in the region.
We value integrity, quality, fairness, loyalty, and the Christian faith. We use these values as key drivers in all we do.
Our Story
Buyers are a Vital part of a business. Without buyers there is no business.
Twelve years ago, our parents began producing cold-pressed virgin coconut oil. A processing plant was built and passed BFAD approval; a worker was trained in Luzon, and equipment were purchased in preparation for the tons of virgin coconut oil that were produced.
Unbeknown to the company, there were problems with the Philippine government in exporting the virgin coconut oil during that time. The tons of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil were stored, and as time passed, no solution for exporting was made.
In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has started. We produced virgin coconut oil to help COVID patients. This restored our determination to continue what our parents had started. We understood the strength of virgin coconut oil, and we wanted to spread that knowledge across the world. So, we restored our parents’ company and launched Butuan Coconut Product’s Vital Virgin Coconut Oil.
Now that Butuan Coconut Product’s Vital Virgin Coconut Oil is FDA-approved, we strive to expand our market internationally.
