I would like to know the melting point of this coconut oil. I have been purchasing it but I can't find that information on the label or on this page.

In my experience, it is the standard 76 degree melting point. Mine has been solid until that point.

I can't give you an exact temperature but I can tell you that skin temp is enough to melt it. Somewhere between 72 and 98 degrees F

I'm not sure,but you can go to snappypopcorn.com and scroll to the bottom and there's a email link where you can email them and ask.

This is definitely refined. A easy giveaway is the packaging - coconut oil is solid and only liquifies at 76 degrees or greater which is why it's sold in jars not bottles. I prefer to buy the huge jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil that way it has multiple uses and there's no degradation in the effectiveness.

I have used this particular coconut oil for awhile now & I really like it. It has a mild coconut flavor.

Ingedients: Organic Coconut Oil (100%). This is exactly the way it appears on the label. Hope this is helpful!

I believe it is a long time... But in my house it does't last long. I use coconut oil every day in everything

Coconut oil's texture will depend on the temperature where you have it. As someone already noted, it is liquid above about 76 degrees, but solid below that. In Chicago mine is solid and white in winter, but clear and liquid in summer.

I really have no idea, but I can tell you it is some of the best oil I have ever used. That is good enough for me. I don't even know if the FDA approves of cooking oil.

This is Coconut oil. It is an oil. When it is cold, it will solidify, and at warm temperatures (76 degrees) will melt and be an oily liquid. (think of how olive oil does this too) This is really a very nice product that has many uses.

Hi Richard, IT all depends on where you live, If you live in one of the northern Cities where the temperature gets down between the thirties & sixties Coconut as well as Palm Oil congeals but since I live in Florida as soon as the temp. goes up it then becomes liquid and both oils are very healthful.Try putting the bottle in hot water may allow it to flow but not too hot.

This is RBD (refined,bleached & deodorized). Refined oils have a higher 'smoke point'; Virgin coconut oil is for medium heat ~ 350oF & this has a smoke point ~ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

Hi Jean,We do not recommend microwaving our oil as this is not a natural form of heating. Instead, you may place our container in a bowl filled with hot water and the oil will melt quite rapidly. Additionally, coconut oil does not require refrigeration and is only a method of storage based on personal preference. Unlike other oils, coconut oil is very shelf stable (up to two years) at room temperature and will remain soft. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs Hi Jean,We do not recommend microwaving our oil as this is not a natural form of heating.

I've been using mine for about 3 months now, and it's still good. I use my organic coconut oil for everything. Cooking and hair and skin. Hope that helps.

Coconut oil holds for days so far as long as you keep the sides dry when filling and capping and don't trap any excess pressure inside the pill to push out the oil. I put them in the fridge to set them (not sure it helps), and with coconut oil under 76f its solid. With A/C at 72f I don't see any melting problems depending on what you dissolved in the oil but most popular things raise melting temps to 77 to 80f. I use a hair dryer to up the temp for filling. about .5 cc of coconut oil, scale shows .5g (with cap .6) of oil. Fridge no freezer to get below 70 then out. No leaks or bursts so far but I only do days at a time for myself.

If you mean for cooking or for health benefits, I would say that it should be able to be used for such. It says it's pure unrefined organic coconut oil. But, while searching for organic coconut oil on Amazon, this claims that it's $0.05 per ounce. It's a 15oz jar, so that means it should cost $0.75, and it's not. It's $12.75. So... you may want to more fully research this item before you purchase. That's my $0.02.

When I first started buying their Walnut oil they listed it as "medium" heat. Just looked and it has a smoke point of 305 F listed. My personal experience is that it burns pretty easily. I don't use it as a cooking oil, but love it as a base for salad dressing and in recipes that call for oil to mix with.

This is way better than canola and sunflower oil...a healthy fat with a higher smoke point. I know there is a site out there that lists the smoke point for different oils...coconut is good to higher temps than these oils you mention, and it gives a great flavor (not coconutty-but satisfying)

Real coconut oil is solid up to about 75 degrees. Just sit the bottle in some hot water for a few minutes and it will liquefy.
