Hi, In a search for a good mayonnaise that was made with cold pressed oil, I came across Farringtons cold mellow yellow at ocado. Its made with cold pressed rapeseed and organic eggs. (dont think the rapeseed is organic though) Given that all the other brands did not say their olive oil was cold pressed I went for this one, and it is delicious.

I recently bought PUKKA organic virgin coconut oil from Morrisons. It is solid at room temperature. Where should it be stored once opened? It says 'a cool dry place away from sunlight.' It doesn't need to be refridgerated does it? Is it possible to rate this product?

I understand that extra virgin olive oil has a tendency to go off and should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. The manufacturers of both Filippo Berio and Napolina recommend that their extra virgin olive oils be stored at room temperature. During the summer months is it not better to refridgerate it?
