Organic coconut oil 206g

This virgin coconut oil comes from organic farming: the jar carries the EU organic logo, the code of the certification body LK-BIO-149 and the mention of non-EU agriculture. Being virgin, it has not been refined and keeps the smell of coconut, which comes through in the dish. It is sold in a 206 g jar, which is 225 ml according to the side of the label.

The label presents it as an alternative to butter or cooking oils that gives a smooth texture to pastries and to dishes cooked in the pan or in the oven. Use it in cookie dough, a homemade granola or the topping of a crumble. In the pan, it is good for softening onions and spices before adding the coconut milk of a curry, or for browning plantains.

Below about 24 °C, coconut oil sets and turns white; above that, it becomes liquid and clear again. This change in appearance is normal and does not affect the product. When it is solid, scoop it out with a spoon; for a recipe that calls for it melted, warm the jar for a few minutes in a bain-marie. Close the lid well after use.
