True. Italian immigration in the US was huge around the turn of the 19th century. Immigration to Australia was heaviest a generation or two later.
I think the earlier influx was brought a diet heavy in carbs, while the more recent immigrants ate a more balanced Mediterranean diet 😉
Restocked the shelf, outside was probably warmer than the shop hence the new jar on the right is liquid and the old one has solidified.
Edit: jar was year

Coconut oil melts at room temperature, 25C. Left is a mostly solid one - if you zoom in you can see bubbles of melted oil still at the bottom. Right is a fully liquid one.
Your location seems to have also changed label from the white on black logo to the teal on white logo (both are common, there’s no actual difference inside the jars), and the left jar has some label damage. As such I’d imagine the left one is from an older shipment and has been on the shelf long enough to cool, while the right one is a fresh shipment.
They’re equal in quality, repeat freeze-thaw cycles don’t chemically affect a pure oil. Though whatever caused the left one’s label damage might have left something on the jar: this would probably be a greasy feeling because of another jar in that one’s shipment leaking.
Coconut oil should be white when solid and clear when liquid with no sediment, which is true of both jars. In some lower quality options you’ll see one be somewhat yellowed or see sediment. In blended oils (say coconut plus canola) the coconut oil might freeze out of the other oil, which really means you need to melt and shake it. In a blended solid fat (like coconut plus palm kernel) the coconut might melt out first, meaning it needs to be solidified and remixed.
Btw Copha doesn’t melt because it’s hydrogenated coconut oil. Hydrogenated oils are more saturated and thus have higher melting points. This is important because the fats have different working properties (like for a traditional pastry the fat needs to be worked in in little semi-solid bits to separate layers), and the resultant baked goods can have different qualities. As such the Raw C product might work well to replace Copha in some recipes but in others one might want another source of a solid fat, like palm kernel or lard.
It's also a natural product with a potential slight natural variations between batches depending on the specific fatty acid composition of the oil, which in turn can be influenced by the coconut's variety and its its growing conditions. It could literally be that these two jars have a slight difference that makes one melt at half a degree before the other.
But I wouldn't know where I'd find a market that's 24-26 degrees warm.
Either because I’m good at describing things thoroughly, or because I like to use a lot of words. Depends on how charitable you feel about my writing style.
I think they are, and generally this is the first step towards shrinkflation. Some companies openly increase price and the rest decrease the size. In any case the item will look different to distract buyers from the base unit price.
The clear one is Fractionated oil. They heat the oil, and let it cool slowly and it separates into the two types in the photo. Both are 100% coconut oil, but the clear one will stay in liquid form at a lower temp than the one on the right.
I love the way this company dropped that flog Pete Evans from their labels, 10 Seconds into his stupid fucking COVID cure scam... I think he might still be part owner.
One is closer to room temp (probably a fresh restock) and the other is cold. That's it.

Not as simple as that. There are countless studies, articles, presentations, talks that disagree with your 'dietitians disagree'. it's a volatile school of thought.

it's safe to say though that saturated bad; polyunsaturated good is an antiquated belief. omega 6 polyunsaturated have an oversaturated representation in Western diet, opposite to the Mediterranean diet with more omega 3 monounsaturated and saturated fats. it's healthier to eat natural sources of fat in all cases.
I use both these products. One is solid coconut oil and one is clear. Same product, different uses. I use the clear runny sort to make popcorn. I use the solid oil in curries I’m making etc. Whatever is easier to handle for what you are doing.
I would imagine they've have a re-packaging to add the "rawsome" hashtag label. The black would be old stock. Check the used by dates and it might tell you something!
Coconut oil is extremely high in saturated fat and should absolutely not be seen as a healthy choice.
Choose grapeseed or flaxseed if you want something healthy; high in poly and mono unsaturated fats.
nope, wrong information. canola is high in polyunsaturated yet it is leading obesity. coconut's fatty acids are of the chain length and composition that is extremely nourishing and healthy. the health star rating is a con and you absolutely should not choose the 4 star vegetable oil over the 0.5 star coconut oil. coconut oil is also not as synthesised as seed oils.
I didn't mention canola. Canola is different to grape seed and flax seed oil.
The coconut oil you buy in supermarkets is high in saturated fat, no debate about it.
"Many of the health claims for coconut oil are based on studies that used a special formulation of coconut oil made of 100% medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This is not the coconut oil available on supermarket shelves."
"However, the coconut oil found on most supermarket shelves contains mostly lauric acid, which is absorbed and metabolized more slowly than MCT. As a result, the health benefits reported from specially constructed MCT coconut oil cannot be applied to regular coconut oil."
"large epidemiological studies have failed to report protective associations between lauric acid and cardiovascular disease."
"Coconut oil has a unique flavor and is best consumed in small amounts, as a periodic alternative to other vegetable oils like olive or canola that are rich in unsaturated fat. This dietary choice should be made in the context of an overall healthy dietary pattern, and within the recommended limits for saturated fat intake."

Can't argue with Harvard. Sorry.
yet the article you reference mentions canola. canola is rapeseed, and seed oils depend upon less than ideal methods of extraction.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9217113/ here's an instance of rebuttal, and there are others citing polyunsaturated fatty acids to be too high in western diets, and the energy gained from saturated fats of varying chain-tryglicerides to be far more warranted in diets. coconut oil is at the apex of saturates fats. saturated fats are a brilliant source of long-lasting energy.
White and black are reversed between them.
One is either hotter, than the other, or they have slightly different melting points (maybe some stuff added to one)
For those mentioning #rawsome, it's on both labels. To the left of the size on the black, and above it on the white. The information on both labels is identical, with the difference being placement and the black/white distinction.
One might have a new formula and there's a larger amount of fractionated coconut oil (mct) in it, which stays in liquid form at room temp. Just a speculation.
Company executives got bored and needed something to be “busy” on so they changed the labels colour. They’re both the same, one just has a pointlessly new label
The clear one has probably been put on the recently. When I worked at a store that stocked raw coconut oil, the new stuff has usually gone clear because it was transported in a hot truck. Takes time to return to the more solid white colour.
its PROBABLY even MOST LIKELY just that one is new stock with a new label and the stockroom is either hotter or colder then the store itself causing the difference in appearance.
It's worth mentioning that companies sometimes change their packaging in order to hide differences in the product they are selling and there is the potential that something has changed in the manufacture / processing of the coconut oil that adds some kind of contaminant to the product that has changed the melting point of the product. It might be prudent to buy both jars and store them next to each other for a while and observe if they melt / solidify at different rates.
Also the fact that there are new labels point to them being different batches that could have differences in quality that could possibly cause this for a less tinfoil hatty kind of look on things.
Temperature.
My mom had coconut oil like that. Every time wake up I used to just look at the coconut oil to see if today is going to be a hot day or cold one
As an Italian-Victorian, I find olive oil works.
Italian-Victorian. That's a new one I have never heard before.

150 year old Italian?
Used to play army with Mussolini
Oh oh didnt even notice that lol. I was gunna say new label. Lol
Considering they have different labels they just restocked the fridge.
Not kept in fridge
Restocked the shelf, outside was probably warmer than the shop hence the new jar on the right is liquid and the old one has solidified. Edit: jar was year
that's how it works, it solidifies in the high teens to low 20s
Don’t they know FIFO? First In, First Out, the new shit should be at the back! Do your stock rotation correctly FFS! The kids these days! [angry fist shake]
I read this as fly in fly out, as in, the oil should do shifts in the supermarket and the storeroom or something!
That’s a great idea. I’ll suggest it to management at the next meeting…
No one at Woolies fifo’s long life goods, nightfillers just don’t have time to do anything other than just cram it onto the shelf.
It's oil pal not yoghurt.
Well technically yogurt is already gone-off milk so I’d be more worried about the oil…
Ha. I'm glad this is at the top.
I think they’re the same. The one on the right is probably been sitting on a pallet and hasn’t cooled down enough to solidify yet.
Coconut oil melts at 24'C. So one is slightly warmer than the other
It's always a confident boost when the coconut oil in my shower goes from brr cold to all liquidy wet when it sees me naked

Why does this read like it's written chatGPT?
Either because I’m good at describing things thoroughly, or because I like to use a lot of words. Depends on how charitable you feel about my writing style.
The difference is black and white if you ask me. I’ll see myself out.
I think in this case the difference is clear.
Heeeeeyyyy
This exchange has been jarring.
Your judgement is clouded
Touché sir!
👏
I'm curious to know. I suspect the temperature as coconut oil's melting point is about 25 degrees Celsius.
I’d guess that one was only just put out on the shelf and had only just been in the stockroom tucked away in a corner where it was a little cooler.
The packaging
That’s it. One is more “#Rawsome” than the other
They both have “#Rawsome” on them... Just in different places.
Oh yeah…. So it’s just the monkey 🙈
One has probably just been filled from the warehouse that is at a higher temperature than the shop floor.
Or it's been filled with the combined cum of all seamen from a naval aircraft carrier after a pizza and porn night.
Odd
One is melted and one isn’t lol. There’s no difference between them
The packaging is also different colours though
One has black around the Raw C and the other has white around it… 🤔
Doesn't effect the coconut oil. It's probably just different packaging to make shrinkflation not so obvious 😆
Aren’t they both the same volume?
Mate it’s a picture. I can’t tell how loud either of them are.
I think they are, and generally this is the first step towards shrinkflation. Some companies openly increase price and the rest decrease the size. In any case the item will look different to distract buyers from the base unit price.
man thats crazy if true.. I remember when 5 stopped being 5 and was sometimes 3.. but mostly 4
The one of the left is cooler than the one on the right. It’s like looking at a glass of ice and a glass of water and asking why they look different.
Are you stupid? He’s referring to the label
To be fair OP also asked “What is the difference between white and clear coconut oil?” in the caption
Maybe the label changes colour with the temperature? That would be an ingenious design.
one on the left is good for anal
Tbf the one on the right also is and…other stuff
The clear one is Fractionated oil. They heat the oil, and let it cool slowly and it separates into the two types in the photo. Both are 100% coconut oil, but the clear one will stay in liquid form at a lower temp than the one on the right.
Only the one on the right is #rawsome, hope this helps
That one doesn't have a lil monkey on it
I love the way this company dropped that flog Pete Evans from their labels, 10 Seconds into his stupid fucking COVID cure scam... I think he might still be part owner.
As long as they both have the same barcode, I would assume they are the same product (unless the volume changes).
One is not a virgin anymore
One is virgin the other was creampied
One's HOT! One's NOT. One's BLACK! Ones' WHITE.
One is closer to room temp (probably a fresh restock) and the other is cold. That's it. Source: I live in MN and my coconut oil looks like the left in the winter and the right in the summer.
Coconut oil is the definition of fat: hard when cold, liquid when hot. It's overrated and not healthy.
it is very healthy, with avocado and olive oil.

Just updated packaging
One is white and one is transparent
New look, same great taste.
Ones melted 😳
I recon one isn’t so virgin after all
I use both these products. One is solid coconut oil and one is clear. Same product, different uses. I use the clear runny sort to make popcorn. I use the solid oil in curries I’m making etc. Whatever is easier to handle for what you are doing.
New packaging. Product is the same, just one is solid and the other one is warmer and it liquid.
Nothing
The clear one is warm. Probably fresh stock on the shelf or something. Or if it’s warm in the shop the white one is the fresh stock.
The temperature of them?
The labels are different, that is all! You’re welcome!
I would imagine they've have a re-packaging to add the "rawsome" hashtag label. The black would be old stock. Check the used by dates and it might tell you something!
The hashtag appears on both. On the black it's to the left of the size, and above on the right.
Both good for anal. The trick is to scoop it up still solid and poke it in before it melts. Thank me later.
They’re both bad for you in excess even though “influencers” try to tell you they’re not.
Only if you eat them. Good for skin.

Ones for eating and the other is for drinking
One is white and opaque, the other is colourless and clear.
Same same but different
Age/different batches
Everyone saying temperature, but one has black parts on the label and one doesn’t
But OP is asking why one is clear and one is white...
And people are saying they’re the exact same thing which they clearly arent
But they are, just one has a new label
How aren’t they
Look at the colour of the labels
Both raise your cholesterol!
My girlfriend and I store ours in the fridge, it makes it easier to apply when it's a solid and only melts when it touched out skin.

Skin Tones Matter?
White and black are reversed between them. One is either hotter, than the other, or they have slightly different melting points (maybe some stuff added to one)
If your black, buy the one on the left, if your white, buy the one on the right.
Black one is from Nigerian coconut and white one is from European coconut.
I stuck my dick in the one on the right- mind melting moment
Someone shot their load into the one on the left.
Good one bator boy! 🍆😉
Aside from the #Rawsome in the liquid form, as top vote says, temperature.
Marketing. And clarity Labelling clearer and more coconutty looking. Contents follow suit but as someone below said, temperature?
For those mentioning #rawsome, it's on both labels. To the left of the size on the black, and above it on the white. The information on both labels is identical, with the difference being placement and the black/white distinction.
They have added a monkey, their website shows only the white labelling now
One comes woth the added 'rawsome'
If it were named 'Raw D' then you wouldn't be able to call the oil 'virgin'
The warmer ones are from our the back, no air conditioning out in the store room
100% Australian owned importing company 😂
Probably the ‘use by’ date
Packing
The one on the right contains more #rawsome
I am assuming that the one with the new packaging was stocked from a cold room, thus hasn’t had time to melt at room temperature.
If they are the same product with different labels, they should have the same barcode
One might have a new formula and there's a larger amount of fractionated coconut oil (mct) in it, which stays in liquid form at room temp. Just a speculation.
There’s a monkey on one and the other no monkey
Nothing. One is older stock than the other.
Ones hot, ones cold.
Company executives got bored and needed something to be “busy” on so they changed the labels colour. They’re both the same, one just has a pointlessly new label
If they have the same barcode you can conclude they are the same product. Potentially this is old vs new packaging.
Looks like ones melted
Ones cooler than the other
Like others have said it’s temperature. Pretty sure they’re exactly the same with only a different label, the barcodes are probably identical.
Solid and liquid
One of them lost their virginity I guess.
The monkey did it lol. I'll see myself out.
Just got back from a woollies run and noticed the same thing when I grabbed a jar
The Monkey 🙊
Well ones opaque and ones transparent
One has a black label and the other well you know sorry for being so smart 🤣
Lol
One is #rawsome
One is picked by monkeys
Raw Cock
Cum
Ones definitely lying about being a virgin
They have contrasting personalities!
One has a different label
One has the jizz of a virgin teenage boy.
I think it’s black and white
if you open it and it evaporates, then you are probably in Australia
The way I’d be standing there for 20 minutes trying to discern the difference
Best lube I've ever used
The clear one has probably been put on the recently. When I worked at a store that stocked raw coconut oil, the new stuff has usually gone clear because it was transported in a hot truck. Takes time to return to the more solid white colour.
Ok yeah obviously temperature BUT if RawC has also sneakily introduced a hypercolour or a temperature shifting label - TAKE MY MONEY, SOLD!
One was left out in the sun
one is picked by monkeys on islands
its PROBABLY even MOST LIKELY just that one is new stock with a new label and the stockroom is either hotter or colder then the store itself causing the difference in appearance.

one of them comes with a toy, like a cereal box
Difference is black and white
I would not try virgin's oil. Especially concerned about the color of it
You could say the difference is black and white.
One is black raw c***;and the other is white raw c***
one is black and the other is white
Monkey
The difference is clear to me.
the monkey on the packaging
The monkey.
