Coconut oil is among the most stable of all oils. It is slow to oxidize and thus resistant to rancidity and has a 76 Degree melting point. Our coconut oil is unscented and flavorless. It is often added to chocolates, meltaways and other candies to improve viscosity, texture, flavor and mouth-feel. It is also used to thin/smooth coatings for dipping or for easy flow in decorative chocolate fountains.
Coconut oil is commonly used in cooking (especially Asian/Indian recipes). It is an excellent anti-oxidant.
Coconut oil gels very quickly under cool temperatures into a white paste. There is nothing wrong with it. Simply immerse the (closed) jar in lukewarm water for a few minutes and it will quickly liquify.
