** Fermentation involves heat, and calls for more than 10 hours between chopping the coconut and pressing the oil, adversely affecting flavor.

Enjoy this healthy fat with the creamy taste of the tropics. Why is it that baby formulas often include coconut oil as an ingredient? Because coconut is one of the most healthy super foods in the world. Ideal as a high-heat cooking oil, a healthy substitute for shortening in baking, and a "better-than-butter" replacement on bread and veggies.

Not all saturated fat is bad! Coconut oil is cholesterol- and trans fat-free and rich in medium-chain "good fats" that doctors recommend. We suggest three tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil a day.

Taste the difference 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.

Coconut Oil (Nutiva) - Average rating - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. September 02, 2006 Reviewer: Deborrah in California Wonderful product for light pan frying and cooking. I also use it mixed with unscented moisturizing lotion and aloe vera on my skin and hair. Unlike seed oils (safflower, sunflower, etc.) this oil does not become rancid or get "sticky" after sitting unrefigerated, even for several months. Evidence shows that coconut oil stimulates thyroid function and has wonderful antimicrobial/antiviral properties. The antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties of the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil have been known to scientists since the 1960s. This is a quality product sold at a very reasonable price. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. November 21, 2007 Reviewer: Rebecca in Arizona I have been using this for 3 months now and have experienced weight loss, clearer skin, and heightened energy among other great changes. I would recommend this as a food, cooking oil, and in replacement of skin care products. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. July 25, 2007 Reviewer: Eleanor in Illinois I love the taste of Nutiva coconut oil in my coffee. I didn't think I would like it but it makes your coffee like a desert if you put sweetener in it. It keeps you feeling full and sometimes I'm not hungry for anything until lunch. I also use it in stir fry recipes.

February 08, 2007 Reviewer: Melanie in Arkansas This really is an amazing oil. When used to cook; the structure doesn't break down like other oils, even other healthful oils like olive oil. The flavor is wonderful and adds real pizzazz to the foods you cook with it. Take a closer look into the benefits of this oil we've been conditioned to think is so bad. The price is definitely worth the product and the rates here are among the best I've found. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No July 22, 2008 Reviewer: william in Florida Good coconut taste. Tastes good on toasted bagels in place of butter,pancakes,sauteeing, etc. Would buy again, a bit pricey though. Bought the 29oz. jar.

How 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 oil is cold-pressed at below 104 degree's. 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 raw, 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.

Since the 1960s, coconut oil has been mistakenly described as unhealthy. The media reported on studies finding that tropical coconut oils were laden with artery-clogging fats. What went unreported was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was hydrogenated—not the virgin oil used for centuries as a staple food.

Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in mother's milk that supports healthy metabolism and is now being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial health-protecting properties. Overall, coconut oil contains 92% saturated fats, and only 1% Omega-6 the fat Americans get way too much of.

Please Note: Nutiva's Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and melts at 76°F.  No refrigeration required.
