I use coconut oil for multiple purposes: cooking or adding moisture to my hair and skin. For the coconut butter, I use it in place of butter or margarine on toast, in smoothies or in various recipes. It is great in pumpkin bread! I have also blended coconut butter with filtered and/or coconut water to make coconut milk...it was wonderful!

This is butter, not oil. Therefore, no, it is not for the same purpose, not for the same usage. This is a healthy replacement to butter. I use olive oil, and have no idea what cocoanut oil is.

No it's not. It looks similar but the flavor is definitely more coconutty and not oily.

yes there is a big difference I found this answer online "Yes, there is definitely a difference between the two. Think peanut butter vs. peanut oil. One is thick and smooth, while the other is liquid (at room temperature). Coconut butter includes the meat of the coconut, while coconut oil does not." and more here http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/06/30/coconut-butter-and-coconut-oil/ Kathy

Coconut oil and coconut butter is not the same thing. Coconut butter is the meat of the coconut ground up. It has a different texture.

I don't feel that it is the same. The coconut oil is wonderful to cook with while the coconut butter is not. It is mused as a topping I think. Two different products for 2 different purposes.

Yes, this is coconut butter and excellent quality. They also do coconut oil just read the jar and description! :)

My experience leads me to conclude that they are different. The Artisina product is essentially finely ground coconut meat. I also have some coconut oil that I bought recently. It consists of oil that has been expeller-pressed from coconut meat, so it is just the oil from the coconut, rather than whole coconut meat that has been finely ground.

It's the same texture, yes. But I wouldn't substitute this stuff for peanut butter. In fact I am having a hard time using up the third jar. it's really sweet and super "greasy" - I don't know how else to put it. My grandkids - who are sweet-lovers - hate this stuff.

The jar is brown. But the oil is not. Its just normal coconut oil. White-ish when it is solid and clear when it is not.

No, it's a small plastic jar with a plastic cap and plastic cup that the butter collects in. We love it! This is the only kind of butter we'll eat!

Well I would say everyone here has wrong answers. I have used regular white coconut oil and then the coconut oil with beta carotene in it (red colored) and they do taste different. The red does give it a better "movie theater" type taste. It will make it taste slightly more "buttery" when corn is popped in it (you can't just pour it on top for the taste). Yes it does make it "look" more buttery but it also makes it taste more buttery too. I don't think most of these people did back to back taste tests.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

Coconut water and coconut oil are two different things. Just like water and oil are two different things. It's like asking, is water better than oil for cooking.

Yes I do, the white is just like regular coconut oil. I use it in baking and topically.

There are too many to list. I will tell you what is better than this. You can order it or buy it from Trader Joes. Its their Coconut Body Butter. Its all organic. Wonderful! Only $5 and better than the other. Same kind of container. Look into it. Hope that helps

Not sure what would make it "butter" but it's just a spread from pure coconut pulp. You have to warm it toale it more spreadable.

Yes. It is just straight food grade (safe to eat) coconut oil. You can use it in beauty products, food/cooking or any other thing you can think of.

Yes, i think its pure. In comparison To the other fractionated Coconut oil, its exactly the same. Works very well.

i wrote in my review that i used coconut oil. mineral oil. aka as petroleum oil, not putting it into my food. my car is the only place i put this stuff.

No it is not raw. At room temperature it is solid, but easy to spoon out of the jar. As the temperature rises, the coconut oil starts to liquefy until it is completely liquid. No big deal. Solid, mushy or watery, it has the same effects mentioned in the product description. Tasty too. Buy it. You will be pleased.

The difference is how they process the coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil (the kind we traditionally eat and is solid at room temperature) is cold-pressed. Fractionated coconut oil has been heated. The process eliminates some of the coconut odor (which I Love) and some other elements. I personally would apply virgin coconut oil to wounds because I believe it still has many of its healing properties.

Like the previous answer says, there is vanilla in it for the scent, but aside from that, it's only coconut oil.

Coconut manna is not coconut oil - it is more like a thick peanut butter consistency. You can certainly cook with coconut oil; it does not lose its beneficial properties like evoo. I've never had a problem cooking with it.
