Coconut Oil - Organic Extra Virgin by Nutiva
Nutiva Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil:
Certified organic and non-GMO

Unrefined
Chemical-free
Unfermented *
Unbleached

Product of the Philippines
Made with our Fresh is Best ™ commitment
* Other brands utilize heat and fermentation, waiting more than 10 hours between chopping the coconut and pressing the oil, adversely affecting flavor.
How coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture, color, and aroma. Our method of processing allows for a very smooth, slightly sweet coconut flavor with a light aroma.
Contrast this to 99 percent of the coconut oil used today in cooking and body care: first the coconut is chopped and left to dry in the sun for days, then the meat is scooped out and sent thousands of miles to giant oil mills where the oxidizing coco meat is refined, bleached, and or deodorized—and, ironicly this product is often labeled as certified organic.
There is no comparison between Nutiva's extra-virgin Organic Coconut Oil, with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color. Please note any tiny brown spec or two at the bottom of Nutiva's Coconut Oil is indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil and is from the coconut fiber.
Suggested Use
This versatile coconut oil is ideal as a high-heat cooking oil (up to 350 degrees), a healthy substitute for shortening in baking, a \better than butter\ replacement on bread and veggies, and a luscious body oil.

This is the best, tastiest coconut oil I have tried. Like another review mentioned, other brands often have an "off" unpleasant taste. But Nutiva coconut oil tastes clean, sweet, and so delicious! I love it! Yes, a glass jar would be nice, but the cost would be far greater.

I give it 4 starts for taste, quantity and price. I had to subtract a star because of the plastic container. Consumers will keep and reuse a glass jar which will not possibly contaminate this wholesome oil with chemicals from like a plastic jar! What is NUTIVA thinking? Maybe they haven't done the research. You get what you pay for and this is a bargain price!

I love this coconut oil. It is a great price and you do not suffer lower quality. The jar it comes in is plastic which I like, although others may not.

Nutiva's coconut oil is my favorite brand. It has a good coconutty flavor, and is pure white. Our family loves it! We have tried other brands, but nothing beats Nutiva's taste and purity. Other brands will have an off flavor or color...so I stick with this. Yum!
