Corporate Info Peter Paul & Klassic Coconut

Since 1946, Peter Paul Philippine Corporation has achieved and maintained a solid reputation for excellence in manufacturing and exporting quality coconut products including virgin coconut oil (also known as ‚ÄúVCO‚Äù) and coconut flour. With ISO 9001:2000 and HACCP certification and a consumer’s choice award for canned coconut milk, customers know they’re making the right choice when purchasing our products.

Peter Paul has established facilities that consolidate its strength as an integrated coconut processing plant. These facilities produce high quality products such as desiccated coconut, coconut milk and cream, coconut water, copra (the dried white flesh of the coconut), copra cake, virgin coconut oil, paring cake, paring oil and coconut flour.

The company’s stringent standards, as evidenced by its ISO 9001:2000 certification for production and its incorporation of HACCP standards into its quality system, has earned Peter Paul the distinction of a preferred global supplier.

Of equal importance is the company’s effort to elevate the livelihood of thousands of farmers in remote provinces. Peter Paul employs a total of 1,500 employees to process more than four hundred fifty (450) tons of raw coconut daily. Whole coconuts are purchased, at higher prices than copra, in order to ensure quality end products for consumers. In Bicol, Quezon, and Laguna provinces, these substantial purchases benefit at least 4,000 coconut farmers. All regular employees and their dependents are given free Hospitalization and medical assistance.

The Products

Peter Paul manufactures and exports a variety of coconut products that are helpful in nutritional healing and natural healing. Quality and safety testing are of utmost concern in all areas of manufacture, whether extracting pure virgin coconut oil or in the fresh-dry processing of our “miracle healing” coconut flour.

Peter Paul Quality Laboratory ensures that all the physio-chemical and microbiological testing is completed for each production batch before it is delivered or picked up by local buyers and loaded for export buyers.

Customers who wish to buy pure virgin coconut oil (VCO) can rest assured that a PCA laboratory analysis of Peter Paul’s end product virgin coconut oil contained less than 0.1% moisture, ensuring that the product remains fresh and colourless for the recommended shelf life of two years. There is no peroxide in our products, and microbial analysis repeatedly shows no Salmonella or e-coli present in the samples. All aerobic/total plate counts, coliform count and mould/yeast counts are within standards.

In a test done by the Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) using gas chromatography, Peter Paul VCO shows the highest Lauric Acid content in the Virgin Coconut Oil industry (56.4%). Comparable in many ways to mothers’ breast milk, Lauric Acid helps the body’s immune system by acting as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.

In studies done by Dr. Conrado Dayrit, Lauric Acid has been shown to help people recover from serious cases of AIDS, HIV, SARS and even severe cancer cases. In addition, it reduces risk of atherosclerosis and related diseases like coronary, cerebrovascular and other degenerative conditions – in short, it can provide a strong boost in heart disease prevention. VCO can even help to prevent constipation, osteoporosis, premature aging, skin disorders and hair loss.
Peter Paul Virgin Coconut Oil is currently being exported in the USA, Europe and other countries.
