What is the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter? The man at Whole Foods didnt even know what coconut butter was- some of the recipes on here call for coconut butter….. thanks

TropicalRawElla

Hello all,

We were so glad to see such enthusiasm about Artisana Coconut Butter.

I would just like to step in and, hopefully, clarify some of the issues.

My name is Matt Gochman. I am one of the founders of Artisana (we make the above mentioned Artisana coconut butter and other raw organic nut butters).

Because there are so many types of, and terminologies for, coconut products, there tends to be some confusion created unintentionally.

Well, here is what Artisana Coconut Butter is: It is whole raw coconut meat (the white chunky bits) that is then dehydrated at low temperature, then pureed into a butter. This is a whole food, nothing addded...nothing taken away (save for the moisture in the fresh coconut meat during the dehydration process).

Now the dehydrated coconut meat, hence the coconut butter, is composed of oil, fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. No fiber or oil is added or removed.

So many people have told us they love the coconut butter so much that they wanted us to make an Artisana-quality coconut oil. So we decided to make a wonderful, never heated, Extra-Virgin Organic Coconut Oil. This is 100% organic coconut oil - unrefined, unheated, and 100% pure.

Thanks again for your passion and enthusiasm!! We love it!!

Team Artisana
