Simple Truth Refined Expeller Pressed Liquid Coconut Oil
What it is
This is a liquid coconut oil that has been refined and expeller-pressed. Refining removes the natural coconut flavor and aroma, making it a neutral-tasting fat. Expeller pressing is a mechanical process used to extract oil from seeds or fruits without the use of chemical solvents. This method is often preferred for its purity. The oil remains liquid at room temperature, unlike virgin coconut oil which solidifies below 76°F (24°C). It is a versatile cooking oil suitable for various culinary applications.
