Because half a kilogram is far too much for our two-person household, I stopped buying coconut oil from Migros some time ago. Even the neutral one is not available in a small format. Is Migros planning something about the packaging size? I currently buy it from a competitor, but would also like to buy it from Migros.
Hello Civitas, thank you for your question. We will be happy to take your request for a small pack. You can use the coconut oil for a good 12 months if stored in a cool, dark place. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team
Our experience after two to three months shows that it becomes rancid.
Tip: Keep in the fridge and put out for a few hours as required, pour the desired amount into a small container.
Have you ever had a laboratory test carried out on your opened refrigerator oil after three months?

I have the following questions about Alnatura coconut oil (which is not neutral in taste, i.e. the jar with the label with the blue stripe) - is the oil: - not hardened and refined, - not deodorized and bleached, - free from trans fatty acids and any additives, - 100% from fresh fruit pulp, - up to almost 60% from lauric acid? Unfortunately, nothing is noted on the jar.
Hello Ebbi, thank you for your inquiry. For Alnatura coconut oil, the coconuts are processed directly after harvesting. First, the fresh coconuts are peeled and the flesh is chopped. This is then dried and pressed. Trans fatty acids can arise in particular through the industrial hardening of fats. Alnatura virgin coconut oil is not hardened or treated in any other way. It is a cold-pressed oil. We do not have any analyses of the lauric acid content. This can fluctuate naturally. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

The coconut oil is currently missing from the shelves in the Migros in my area. When will it be available again?
Hello hugorossi, in which region do you miss the coconut oil? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
In Migros Aare - specifically in the Bernese Oberland, from Thun to Brienz.
Hello hugorossi
Our specialist department has informed us that the product will probably not be available for some time due to quality problems. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to say how long the interruption will last. As an alternative, we can recommend Alnatura coconut oil neutral, article number 1030.455. In the Bernese Oberland region, this article is available at the following locations: Thun Oberland Center, Thun Panoramacenter, Thun Bälliz, Dürrenast, Hünibach, Spiez, Steffisburg Unterdorf, Uetendorf and Heimberg. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
What exactly are the quality problems? The product is still on sale at Alnatura in Germany.
Hello hugorossi, thank you for your feedback. At the moment the quality is not satisfactory. This is the reason why the oil is currently not available. We are working hard to find a solution and ask for your understanding that we are not allowed to reveal any more. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hopefully you will find a solution soon, the oil is excellent in terms of taste and price.
I contacted Alnatura Germany directly about this, and this was the answer: "We can very well understand your uncertainty. One batch did not meet the quality requirements in some cases, so this product was withdrawn from sale by our trading partner in Switzerland as a precautionary measure. We are in close contact with our manufacturing partner. They have already implemented optimization measures to ensure consistent product quality in the future. The product should therefore be available again in Switzerland in the near future. As long as you do not notice any deviation in recently opened jars, it cannot be assumed that there is a quality defect."

Does the coconut oil have an unchanged component and composition of lauric acid after processing with steam?
Hello Nadjane, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have any analysis values for lauric acid content, and these can fluctuate. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

This is no longer native. Why not? Mine here still is and is labeled accordingly.
Hello curley, for some time now there has been a special Swiss version of virgin coconut oil without the word "virgin" on it. The reason for this was an instruction from the Zurich cantonal laboratory at the time.
The recipe and production process are unchanged. However, the word "virgin" may no longer be printed on it. The word "neutral" is still permitted on neutral coconut oil. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
What did the Zurich Cantonal Laboratory find so disturbing about the term "native" that it had to be removed?
Hi curley, this coconut oil is made by pressing the coconut meat without adding heat. The supplier has assured us that no refining processes are used. However, as the coconut meat is dried beforehand, the product may no longer be labeled as virgin. This is because the virgin rule does not stipulate any further processing steps.

Can this coconut oil also be distorted raw or is it suitable for this?

what is the difference between virgin and neural coconut oil?
Hello mja_g, thank you for your inquiry. The native coconut oil is rather sweet, as it is not processed to any great extent. With neutral coconut oil, the flavours are neutralized so that the coconut taste is very slight. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

What kind of plantations do the coconuts for oil extraction come from? Are they small farmers' cooperatives or larger companies that supply the nuts? How should we imagine this?
Hello GuyCH, thank you for your inquiry. The coconuts themselves come from small cooperatives. After harvesting, they are taken to a processor where they are processed into a semi-finished product. They are then finished in Europe. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Is this coconut oil also suitable for feeding to dogs? Thank you very much
Hello Tamarusch, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we can't give you any information on this. It is best to contact a vet directly. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
