Then, TK, what is this referring to? It was on that page. Is it a different

oil?

" The most commonly available oil and the oil you are most likely to find (if

you can find it) is RBD oil. Refined, Bleached & Deodorized. This oil is

produced from copra (dried coconut meat). Due to the drying process (often air

or sun drying) the resulting oil must be refined, bleached and deodorized in

order to make it suitable for use. The final product is yellowish-white in color

with a thick texture and no taste or odor. This was the oil which for many years

was used in commercial baked goods and for popping corn. "

That paragraph is describing the type of coconut oil that is (or used

to be) common. It goes on to describe the other types of

manufacturing processes used for coconut oil and then describes the

process that they use for Coconut Oil Supreme (the centrifuge

process).

Since I am a regular customer, I emailed the owner and asked if COS is

bleached. This is his reply:

" Coconut Oil Supreme is definitely not bleached. It is not heated,

fermented, or changed in any way. It is just the way the oil is in

fresh coconut. "

It really is good oil. I react to a lot of things, but I've never had

a problem with COS, so I really do believe that it is as pure as it

can be.
