Overview
A cook opening a jar of this Trader Joe's coconut oil finds oil from freshly grated coconut meat that is cold pressed and filtered, with no high heat, chemicals or bleach. It comes in a sixteen ounce jar.
A simple process and a flavor-forward oil suit baking and sauteing, and the description adds salad dressing and dry skin as uses. The jar volume fields disagree with each other, so go by the title for size.
Who it's for
A home baker who likes a distinct coconut flavor and wants an organic oil that holds up to cooking. Someone storing the jar in a warm pantry should expect it to turn liquid.

Performance notes
