The fact that your jar of it doesn't list a temperatue doesn't mean much in my opinion, as every oil has a smoke point. However, the temp listed on Dogmama is admittedly lower than the 350 degrees that I've routinely seen listed for unrefined/virgin/extra virgin coconut oil. That's the same smoke point as butter for a frame of reference, and it's lower than some oils, including most olive oils and canola oil. Again, the more unrefined an oil is, the lower the smoke point.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
