Commitment to Coconuts - Our VCO Story begins
Our journey began in Thailand’s coconut-rich province of Prachuap Khiri Khan, where a Thai visionary and a European engineer serendipitously met. United by a shared belief in coconut oil’s untapped potential, they fused ancestral wisdom with precision engineering to redefine quality—creating COCOWEL, a genuine raw organic coconut oil of cold-wet production method, which exceeds all expectations of the Extra Virgin category.. Sourced from mineral-rich Thai soil, where coconut palms absorb nutrients like vines in famed wine regions, Cocowel transcends Extra Virgin standards, marrying tradition with innovation. In 2001, we stood at the dawn of coconut oil’s global rise, driven by its healing reputation and health-conscious demand. Pioneers of this nascent wave, we unlocked the secrets of raw coconut processing, ensuring unparalleled purity and nutrient retention. Today, our mission endures: to educate and empower B2B partners with strategic, biologically rich coconut products that set the global benchmark.
Crafting the best Virgin Coconut Oil Possible
We pioneered a singular goal: crafting the world’s finest organic coconut oil. From traditional methods to breakthroughs in cold-pressing, centrifugal separation, and vacuum technology, we evolved relentlessly. Thai visionary Phirawan Somprasong decoded the coconut’s secrets, preserving its pristine benefits through ancestral wisdom, while Danish engineer Heini Joensen transformed this knowledge into precision-engineered solutions. Today, our custom process -honed over decades -embodies this fusion of tradition and innovation, setting a global benchmark of making the best extra vriging coconut oil possible.
When Quality Meets Perfection -
Tropical Nutrition
The Energy we put in our coconut products is to harvest all of nature's fruits ingridients and striving for the best oil possible. "best organic coconut oil in the world" should be, and we went to this goal without compromise. We learned the art of oil crafting from its roots manual penetration and then by cold pressing. Striving for perfection led us to launch centrifugal separation and vacuum technology, which was a real breakthrough. Phirawan Somprasong learned to speak with coconuts in their native language and unraveled all their secrets. She found an approach to this unique plant and figured out how to preserve all the pristine natural benefits and freshness of coconut oil without harming them. She kept alive the best Thai traditions and set a course for endless research and achieving a world benchmark quality. And the inquisitive mind of Danish engineer Heini Joensen brought all these discoveries to life through numerous technical improvements. Now we have uniquely debugged, customized technological equipment that takes into account all the smallest features of working with raw coconuts.
"The craft has found its master. And the master found her destiny."

The Coconut Company's CEO & Co-Founder
Various lifestyles and eating habits have repeatedly confirmed to me the absolute necessity of coconut oil in my daily diet, which brings various vital benefits. Fate led me to create an exemplary organic coconut oil to share this knowledge with everyone through the product itself. We produce incredible, authentic organic coconut oil that perfectly resembles the living coconut itself, and we invite you to join the distribution of this product that will make people's lives better.
In the heart of a coconut-farming village, my journey began. Surrounded by the lush greenery and the nurturing wisdom of my grandmother, I imbibed the age-old art of crafting coconut oil. Coconut oil was a part of the daily village food, so we were all physically very strong and I hardly knew about illnesses. Little did I know that this humble elixir would become my life's passion. Upon relocating to Bangkok, my rural eating habits changed, then I first got acquainted with allergies, due to my high sensitivity to foods with harmful additives. My granny's wise advice cured me quickly, I replaced all other edible oils with raw coconut oil and this choice still helps me to live allergy-free and an energetically positive lifestyle.
I was surprised that urban dwellers knew little about the health benefits of coconut oil. It was then that my mission took shape. Driven by the desire to share the secrets of this precious product with others, I embarked on a quest to create a superior virgin coconut oil. Despite engaging in diverse pursuits, fate has always brought me back to the craft of coconut oil, as if the universe chose me for this path to bring the purest product of its kind into this world. So it became my destiny, I wholeheartedly embraced and dedicate myself to it. Presently, I find myself completely immersed in the world of coconuts, just like when I was a kid!
Coconut oil is a miracle of nature that helps people lead a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to help this happen and to provide everyone with authentic organic coconut oil. Over many years of inspired work, we have created a product that is the most accurate reflection of a living coconut. Our worldview goes far beyond "exemplary quality".
