Yeah, I'm pretty sure its the same thing, I wondered that myself but I read somewhere its the same. I haven't had much luck with it in milks though. Once I refrigerate the nut milk, the coconut oil separates.

No. Coconut butter is the oil and coconut meat blended together. Oil is just the oil. I haven't had coconut butter but I know NFL and Cousens both sell the butter.

coconut butter and coconut oil is the same thing, it is oil when at 72 degrees or high, and solidifies at 71 degrees or lower, so it can look like oil or thick butter


coconut cream is the oil and the meat blended together.

very different things entirely

Alissa sells the best coconut butter in the world.

NFL and Cousens sites both sell coconut oil and coconut butter. They state the oil is just oil and the butter is oil and meat. It seems to look very much like a nut butter, not the white color coconut oil looks like when it solidifies. Their sites also state the butter stays solid until 80 degrees instead of the 70-75 degrees that the oil liquifies.

rp & drawn -- i think you're both right!
i mean up til recently, you couldn't really find coconut cream (or whatever you want to call the blended mixture) and there were some manufacturers of coconut oil that labeled it coconut butter - the two are the same. but now that there are these blended spreads, it can get confusing. if you're not sure, best to inquire about the particular company's products!
many blessings to all,
