Balinese Coconut Oil 500ml

Balinese coconut oil is a prized natural product with deep cultural and health significance in Bali. Derived from the rich coconuts that thrive in the island’s tropical climate, this oil has been a staple in Balinese households for centuries, valued for its versatility and health benefits.

Traditional method of making coconut oil in Bali involves hand-pressing freshly grated coconut meat and simmering the milk over low heat to separate the oil. This labor-intensive process creates virgin coconut oil that is rich in antioxidants, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), and lauric acid, all of which contribute to its reputation as a superfood.

Balinese coconut oil is not just a cooking ingredient; it is deeply integrated into the island’s culture. It’s used in ceremonial offerings, natural remedies, and beauty rituals. In cooking, it adds a distinct aroma and flavor to traditional Balinese dishes like lawar and sate lilit, while offering a healthier alternative to other refined oils. Its high smoke point makes it suitable for frying and sautéing, and its MCT content is believed to boost energy and metabolism.

Our Balinese Coconut Oil is extracted from the kernel of mature, sustainably harvested Bali coconuts and has a subtle, nutty flavor. Sturdier than our virgin cold-pressed version (that you can find here), this cooking oil is stable when heated and is great for cooking at high temperatures. It also has a longer shelf life and won’t go rancid quickly. A small amount of turmeric (Kunyit) is added to our Balinese Coconut Oil to help keep the oil fresher longer.
