DME standard | AromAddict

The DME® standard is a set of quality and ethical standards as the direct micro-expulsion method of producing virgin coconut oil. The “best practice” process guarantees exceptionally high oil quality for the world market, sustainable production for operators and the maintenance of renewable resources for the earth.

We affirm that the DME® standard fully justifies the designation of this coconut oil as "Extra Virgin" or DME-EVCO.

This is what you get with DME®

Don't confuse this with inferior products

Use copra as a starting point for their production process
Produce a crude coconut oil that has much higher levels of free fatty acids (3% +)
Produce oil that must be refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) to be edible
Make oil produced days or weeks after opening a nut
Have their added value in urban factories that do not empower rural operators
Are produced with high pressure, high temperature or chemical processes
Use non-renewable fuels in the production process
