It's not the Virgin stuff, hence why it's cheaper. Not tried it though to be able to compare

I get through loads of KTC. Around £2.20 for a large 500ml jar from larger Tesco stores. I prefer it to the more expensive virgin coconut oil because it does not have any coconut smell or taste. KTC is 100% pure coconut oil, bottled in the UK and contains no hydrogenated fat.

Just a quick question....I looked at the make up of coconut oil and see most all of the fat saturates so isn't that bad for high cholesterol?

I do not have diabetes
I use the Tiana raw extra virgin coconut oil. You wouldn’t believe how versatile it is. I cook with it and use it as a spread. They say it can be used as more as well. My husband is diabetic so I bought it for him but I use it more. He likes the taste as it is not overbearing and that it boosts metabolism which is always important. I’ve tried a few others before this one but this is my favourite.

What's the difference between KTC almond oil and KTC coconut oil? Anything worth worrying about?
