  • What is coconut oil refinement?
  • Coming from dried coconut meat or ‘copra,’ coconut oil refinement is also ‘RBD oil.’ RBD stands for refined, bleached, and deodorized oil. Since the dried copra isn’t suitable for consumption, it goes through refining, bleaching, and deodorizing.
  • What is the difference between refined and virgin coconut oil?
  • One of the main differences between refined and virgin coconut oil is the extraction method. Virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconuts, whereas refined coconut oil is made from dried copra, which is the white flesh of the coconut that has been removed from the shell and dried in the sun or a kiln.
  • How is coconut oil made?
  • Crude coconut oil (CNO) is made by pressing raw or “crude” coconut meat, usually using a hydraulic press. During this process, the flesh is heated either by direct heat or by steaming and pressing. This method of production results in a much lower quality oil than what is found in refined or deodorized coconut oils.
  • What is the difference between crude and refined coconut oil?
  • Another difference between crude and refined coconut oil (RBD) is in its viscosity. Crude oil is much thicker than refined oil and will take a much greater amount of heat to become liquid. This means that when using crude oil in baking or frying, it will be necessary to use much less oil than with a refined version.
  • Is coconut oil liquid or unrefined?
  • Liquid Coconut Oil – This edible refined coconut oil stays liquid even if you place it inside your fridge. The newest type of coconut oil refinement was discovered in 2013. It’s a coconut oil without lauric acid–coconut oil’s star component. Unrefined coconut oil is produced from fresh coconut meat.
  • How is unrefined coconut oil extracted?
  • Most unrefined coconut oil is extracted using the wet process. You may see some unrefined coconut oils labeled “cold pressed,” which means that no heat was used in its extraction. Unrefined coconut oil is solid at room temperature and has a strong coconut flavor and scent, which it can impart to foods that include it.
