Product Description
How virgin coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture, color, and aroma. Within two hours of Nutiva's coconuts being chopped, the virgin coconut oil is cold-pressed. Contrast this with 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. Ironically, this product is often labeled as "certified organic." There is no comparison between Nutiva's cold-pressed, Organic extra-virgin 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 that any tiny brown specks found at the bottom of Nutiva's Coconut oil are from the coconut fiber and are indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil. Please Note: Nutiva's Organic Extra-Virgin coconut oil is solid at room temperature and melts at 76°F. No refrigeration required. 100% Organic. Nutiva Extra-Virgin Coconut oil is Certified organic, Made from fresh coconuts, Cold-processed, Pure white like fresh coconut, Tastes like fresh coconut, Has a fresh coconut fragrance. Hempseed and hemp food products have an appealing nutty flavor and are a rich source of omega-3, vitamin E, protein, and GLA.

This is a really nice value, and a delicious product. Be sure to read up on the benefits of raw coconut oil, and remember, never put anything on your skin that you wouldn't eat. I'm actually a raw vegan, so this is a big staple for me. I love massaging sea salt and coconut oil into raw kale salad. Add ginger, cayenne, a bit of tamari, and a squeeze of lemon. Healthy and delicious! If you aren't a raw vegan, but you just want to eat healthier, try replacing all your regular oils and butter with raw coconut oil. Coconut has a much higher tolerance for heat before it becomes harmful to the body. It's way more tasty than butter or any kind of butter substitute too. This coconut oil is raw. It smells amazing and is super healthy. I use it for everything, from salad dressing to raw vegan deserts, to stir fry, skin moisturizer, hair finisher, massage oil, etc. It's amazing on baked yams. If you eat toast, try mixing raw coconut oil with honey and using it as a spread.

Found this same product for about $5 less at the Vitamin Shoppe website and bought it there.
Even with their lowest price shipping, the Nutiva Coconut oil arrived quickly. However, it opened during transit and leaked everywhere. Called the customer service number and the gentleman who answered immediately wrote an order to send another shipment to replace my shipped spilled one and the replacement arrived quicker than the quoted time frame for the discount shipping. This time, it was packed much better and didn't spill. Seems I'm at least the second person to complain about how Vitamin Shoppe ships their coconut oil - hoping they'll ship it better next time so that they have more profit and I have more instant gratification.
On to the product itself and the 5 stars it earns:
Nutiva's extra virgin coconut oil has just a faint coconut smell and no taste. It's liquid at 77°F and great inside and outside the human body. Can't wait to saute veggies in it tomorrow! Very psyched Nutiva markets this superfood and The Vitamin Shoppe sells it.

Read the facts on coconut oil. You won't go back to synthetics, made with fuel oil, unless of course you own stock in the company. This is a great product for cooking, frying, baking, skin etc. Its natural and been around forever.
