I've been using cold pressed virgin coconut oil for a while. It was pretty good, but expensive, so a few days ago I found this super-cheap coconut oil which still claimed to be cold-pressed, but likely refined or hydrogenated.
Whatever, I thought, can't be that bad, so I bought 2 kilograms (!) of the cheap stuff.
Now, normally I'd eat a teaspoon of CO here and there with my meals, particularly if I thought they had PUFA in them. Well, I tried eating this cheap, refined coconut oil now...
It tastes absolutely vile. They claim it's odorless and tasteless - it's not. It tastes, basically, like chemically-treated fat. Like it was bleached with something ... hexane? I don't know, but it's awful.
I am definitely not going to be eating this freely. I am only going to use this for cooking I suppose. Which is bad because I have like several months worth of the stuff.
So the hydrogenated CO may be better regarding PUFA content and what not, but is absolutely disgusting and I can barely stomach it. I will just buy a kilogram of virgin CO for the same price that I paid for two kilo's of this in the future.
