About Refined coconut oil

Refined coconut oil is oil obtained from coconut and processed to reduce its characteristic aroma and flavour. It is used for cooking and baking, including applications where a neutral-tasting fat is preferred. At typical room temperatures it may be solid or partly solid, becoming clear and liquid when warmed; its physical state varies with temperature.

Refining methods and degree of processing differ among products, so the oil may retain some coconut character or be nearly neutral. It is sold as a bottled liquid in warm conditions or as a solid fat in cooler conditions. Refined coconut oil is distinct from virgin or unrefined coconut oil, whose aroma and flavour are generally more pronounced.
