How to pull out latitude/longitude coordinates from MKMapItem

Question

I'm creating an app that uses CoreData to store points of interest. MKMapItem coordinates are accessible within mapItem.placemark.location. I'd like to pull out the individual latitude and longitude coordinates and store them in a managedObjectContext as doubles. How would I do that?

mapItem.placemark.location.coordinate.latitude
mapItem.placemark.location.coordinate.longitude
