Why do we choose fractionated coconut oil?
Fractionated coconut oil is a lightweight, odorless, and non-greasy oil derived from pure coconut oil through a process that removes long-chain fatty acids, leaving only the beneficial medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This process keeps the oil liquid at room temperature, making it highly stable and resistant to oxidation.
At Siciliano Woodworking, we highly recommend keeping your wooden cutting boards in top condition with fractionated coconut oil. This oil penetrates deep into the wood to nourish and protect, helping prevent cracking, drying, and warping. Unlike heavier oils, it won’t go rancid and absorbs quickly, leaving your boards smooth and ready for use. Safe, natural, and easy to apply, it’s the perfect choice to maintain the beauty and longevity of your kitchen woodware.
The major concern here is gut health. This oil can be digested, as opposed to petroleum-based oils such as mineral oil that simply pass through the body without being broken down. If you experience extreme stomach sensitivity, we think a product like this is the perfect choice for you. While it’s a more expensive item, it’s not only our pleasure, but our mission to provide our customers with the safest option possible.
