Is Kirkland oil any good, or just a bigger jar of the same thing?

How cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil actually differs

Here's the mechanism, and it's simpler than the organic sticker makes it look. Cold pressed means the oil is squeezed from fresh coconut meat with heat and pressure alone, no solvents, no bleaching, no deodorizing. That's what unrefined and virgin are actually telling you: the flavor and the coconut smell you get in the jar are the flavor and smell that survived the process, not added back in later. Refined coconut oil strips that character out on purpose so it tastes like nothing, which is fine for some recipes and a letdown for others. The USDA organic certification, verified by OneCert, just confirms the coconuts themselves were grown without synthetic pesticides before any of that pressing happened. What that buys you day to day is a fat that swaps for butter in baking without a chemical aftertaste, holds up fine on a ketogenic plate because it's mostly saturated fat that doesn't need refrigeration, and dissolves into hot coffee the way people expect when they've heard about that style of drink. The pack itself is two 84 ounce tubs, 168 ounces total, and that number matters more than the sticker price: it's the same math as buying rice or flour by the sack instead of the box. Cost per ounce drops hard once you're past a certain size, but only if you'll actually get through it before it turns.
