Coconut Oil
About
Coconut oil (or coconut butter) is an edible oil derived from the wick, meat, and milk of the coconut palm fruit. Coconut oil is a white solid fat, melting at warmer room temperatures of around 25 °C (78 °F), in warmer climates during the summer months it is a clear thin liquid oil. Unrefined varieties have a distinct coconut aroma.
Source
Coconut oil can be extracted through a wet or dry process.More simply (but perhaps less effectively), oil can be produced by heating the meat via boiling water, the sun or a slow fire.
