It is one of the trifecta I have in the cupboard: Olive, Coconut and Ghee. They all serve different purposes and have different flavors and energies. The Olive has the shortest shelf life, the lowest smoke point and is great for low heat applications. The coconut oil is the second most stable. I prefer the unadulterated raw type, as opposed to the scent-free deoderized type (refined). It gives a lovely flavor which is great in somethings and not in others. Ghee takes the most heat and is the most stable of the oils and will last the longest.
