Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Unveils New Baking Sticks

Tampa, FL, December 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil once again debuts a first in the coconut oil category. Coconut oil, usually only found in jars in the cooking oil aisle, is now available in the dairy section. This month Kelapo launches extra virgin coconut oil pre-measured baking sticks, available in convenient rectangular packaging.

Each pack of Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil baking sticks contains two 4-ounce sticks. Each 4-ounce stick measures 1/2 cup, or 8 tablespoons - the same amount as a regular stick of butter. Consumers can easily cut by tablespoon with the pre-measured ticks on the side of each stick, alleviating mess and saving time in the kitchen.

Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil pre-measured baking sticks act as a dairy-free, trans fat free replacement for butter and other hydrogenated dairy products. Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is also organic, unrefined and certified Fair Trade. Consumers can replace butter with Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil baking sticks when spreading, sautéing, frying and baking their favorite dishes. The replacement ratio is 1:1 and recipes can be found inside of each pack of baking sticks.

“It’s been a passion of mine over the last year to see these baking sticks come to life,” notes Erin Meagher, founder of Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. “These new baking sticks will now make cooking and baking easier, and healthier, than ever before. Kelapo is proud to be on the forefront of innovative coconut oil products that cater to the consumer.”
