To live up to our promise, we make Fuatino’s using the time-tested methods of our ancestors. We use only the best, freshest coconuts handpicked by our trusted farmers. We rely on the natural wet fermentation process that is gentler than any other method and preserves the most valuable coconut nutrients, and we press, separate, and filter our oil through cotton filters, by hand, the way our ancestors have been doing it for hundreds of years.
The volcanic soil of Samoa produces coconuts that are renowned for their sweet moorish taste that will please your palate and add depth to your dishes. Smooth and creamy, Fuatino’s taste is instantly recognizable and once tried, never forgotten. It draws you back, time and again.
Samoa not only gave birth to our product, it is our home. We are proud of the islands and the rich culture and we want to preserve it for generations to come. It is our dream to create a product that is not just healthy, but also socially and environmentally ethical. That is why we work only with sustainable plantations and re-use and repurpose 100% of all that’s left of our coconuts after the oil is extracted.
But it is not just the islands that we care about; it is the people too. We go out of our way to treat them well. We more than doubled the price our farmers get for their coconuts. In addition, we pay per piece rather than the hourly wage that is typical in the market. This allows our farmers to make more money, sometimes earning more in a day than what they would make in a week elsewhere. And we ensure that every single one of our employees receives a stake in the profit of our company. We all rise together.
Fuatino is intimately linked to our ancestral village of Matautu, Lefaga. Through supporting Fuatino Coconut Oil you too are helping the youth of Matautu. For every 20 jars sold we sponsor one child’s school fees for one term. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Knowing your farmer is the most important step you can take in your health.
Fuatino takes pride in being the people who make your oil. Most brands buy bulk from Asia where the oil is cheaper to produce and take what they are given. Fuatino is the manufacturer of the oil and everything is held to our high standards.
Our coconut oil is born in Samoa. Samoa, and its two main islands Upolu and Savaii, are said to be the ancient heart of Polynesia. Our iridescent seas, pristine springs and volcanic rock are the perfect fertile ground for coconut trees. It’s no wonder that traditionally every Samoan used coconut oil in their daily lives. It is a symbol of good health, beauty and ingenuity for the island lifestyle.
FUATINO coconut oil is born in Samoa, the cradle of Polynesia. Here, coconut oil is a symbol of good health, beauty, and the ingenuity of Samoan lifestyle.
Fuatino is the “Taupou” title of Matautu, Lefaga. The Taupou title is an esteemed name bestowed to a Samoan woman or girl who has proven herself worthy. Fuatino is an inspiring female leader and is a promise – to Lead, to Create and to Nurture . The Taupou is Peacekeeper in times of strife, the authority on traditions and the protector of the family and as our name promises, our oil will be the protector of your family.
