PAUL, MN (March 2025) – Dignity Made, a company committed to producing ethically sourced and high-quality coconut products, has been awarded the International Taste Institute’s Superior Taste Award 2025 for its Raw Organic Coconut Oil. The award recognizes products that meet high sensory standards and are evaluated by world-class chefs and sommeliers.

Dignity Made’s Raw Coconut Oil impressed the expert jury, winning the prestigious Superior Taste Award with its pure, smooth, and naturally fresh flavor. Unlike other coconut oils, which can have an overpowering or processed taste, Dignity Made’s oil retains its authentic 100% organic coconut essence due to its unrefined, non-heated, centrifuge-extraction method, bottled from the source within 48 hours. This helps preserve nutrients, aroma, and taste while delivering a product free from artificial additives or preservatives.

In addition to its recognition for taste, this coconut oil is widely used in cooking and wellness routines. Many choose it for its versatility in the kitchen and potential to support a balanced lifestyle. Some commonly noted uses and features include:

• Rich in Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs): These healthy fats provide a quick energy source and may aid in weight management.
• Supports Heart Health: Studies suggest coconut oil may help increase good HDL cholesterol levels.
• Boosts Immunity: It contains lauric acid, which is known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties.
• Antioxidant-packed: It may contain higher levels of antioxidants than some brands, which are known to support overall cell health and contribute to a balanced diet.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for cooking, baking, skincare, and hair care, offering a natural alternative to processed products.

Dignity Made’s recognition goes beyond taste, highlighting its commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainability. The company partners with direct-trade coconut farmers in the Philippines, providing them fair wages, training, and economic opportunities. By working directly with farmers and eliminating middlemen, Dignity Made helps these communities receive fair compensation, breaking the cycle of generational poverty.

The company also follows a zero-waste approach, utilizing every part of the coconut to minimize environmental impact.  Additionally, they are committed to locally sourced, eco-friendly packaging and materials, such as recyclable glass jars instead of plastic.

Winning the Superior Taste Award 2025 strengthens Dignity Made’s position as a sustainable coconut oil industry leader. This recognition underscores the brand’s dedication to quality, ethical sourcing, and sustainability, reinforcing consumer confidence in its products.
