When cooking, you can substitute it for butter or other oils in a one-to-one ratio. For baking, its solid form can be creamed with sugar just like butter. It has a moderate smoke point, making it suitable for most stovetop cooking methods like sautéing and pan-frying. When roasting, it helps to create a lovely crisp exterior on vegetables and meats. It can also be melted and used as a drizzle over finished dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike refined coconut oil, this organic version retains a subtle coconut aroma and flavor. Refined oils are typically bleached and deodorized, resulting in a neutral taste and scent. This unrefined oil offers a distinct tropical note that can enhance certain dishes.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration. If the oil becomes liquid due to warm temperatures, it will solidify again when cooled without affecting its quality.
