Here's a compilation of some details on the base oils we use and offer.
I have also included some links to more information. Bulk Oils Description Olive - Pure Golden This is the light flavored Pure 100% olive oil everyone loves from the Mediterranean. It’s Pure 100% olive oil, this is NOT a blend of oils labeled “olive oil” like you can commonly find in stores but only if you read the label carefully and find the small print stating “olive oil blend”. Olive - Extra Virgin Organic Olive oil is often considered the premium health oil. This is certified organic, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil from the Mediterranean. Coconut - Extra Virgin Organic (lightly sweet nutty flavor) This is the sweet flavored super fresh kind direct from the Philippines. Many studies have been done showing the amazing health benefits of cooking with and consuming coconut and palm oils. It is also considered an excellent skin oil. Extra Virgin is always the premium best and most nutritious grade of any oil, but health benefits have been achieved from using any food grades of coconut oil. If you don’t appreciate the sweet flavor of the extra virgin, try the flavorless filtered kind, but do try to add some naturally solid oils to your diet for your health. Coconut - Organic, physically filtered (flavorless) Filtered to remove flavor. Extra virgin is always the superior oil choice, but if you don’t like it’s sweet flavor, here’s a flavorless organic coconut oil great for frying and baking. Naturally solid oils like coconut & palm are THE BEST choice for high heat frying and baking because their nutrients and structure do not degrade in high heat conditions like oils that are naturally liquid at room temp. Room temp solidity also gives coconut and palm oils an extended shelf life that liquid oils need refrigeration to achieve. Read more about the benefits of nutrient traditional fats and oils like coconut and palm at: http://www.westonaprice.org/know-your-fats This link has many well researched oil articles. Palm – RED Extra Virgin Organic This is what cold processed palm oil is. High in beta carotene and other nutrients, this dark orange colored oil will tint anything it touches yellow or orange. Often used in ethnic cooking for it’s color, since it is a virgin oil it has a slight palm flavor. Palm - Organic, physically filtered Virgin oils are always the superior choice, but if you don’t like the beta carotene orange color of virgin palm, here’s an organic option that has been filtered to make it flavorless & colorless. Palm has health benefits like coconut and is preferred over coconut by some for frying. Coconut Oil Fractionated MCT Coconut oil filtered & refined to be liquid not a solid. Fatty acids that create solidity have been filtered out to leave only the Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Common as a massage oil Sunflower-Organic Hi-Oleic expeller pressed A light flavored multi-purpose cooking or salad oil. Well suited for uses where you need a light oil.
