About Extra virgin coconut oil
Extra-virgin coconut oil is oil obtained from coconut flesh and sold with an extra-virgin designation, whose use and criteria can vary by market. It is commonly used for cooking, baking, and flavouring. It is usually solid or semi-solid in a cool room and becomes clear liquid when warm.
The oil is typically white when solid and colourless to pale when liquid, with a coconut aroma and flavour that can range from pronounced to mild. Products may be unrefined or otherwise processed under differing standards; the label alone does not fully describe extraction or refining.
