No, coconut oil does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. In the Philippines and other tropical climates, where air temperature is much higher than North America, people traditionally have not refrigerated coconut oil. Virgin Coconut oil is very stable since it is unrefined and mostly saturated.
It is recommended that you store coconut oil out of direct sunlight
In the tropics coconut oil is almost always a liquid, since it’s melting point is about 76 degrees F. In North America it will usually be a solid, butter-like consistency. It can be stored in either form.
This brings up another question: Is Coconut Oil a solid or a Liquid?
Coconut oil turns into liquid if it is stored above 75 degrees F. (25 C.), and below that it will be a solid fat. It can be stored in either form, and it can be liquefied easily by applying low level heat.
