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 Nutiva coco meat is refined, bleached, and/or deodorized. Ironically, this product is often labeled as "certified organic".

Also use Nutiva's Coconut Oil as a soothing moisturizer for dry or sunburned skin, and a luscious massage oil.

There is no comparison between Nutiva's coconut oil cold-pressed, Organic extra-virgin , 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.

Nutiva Coconut Oil Ingredients:

Organic unrefined cold-pressed extra-virgin coconut oil.

No trans or hydrogenated fat; No cholesterol or hexane.

NO REFRIGERATION REQUIRED; solid at room temperature and melts at 76 degrees.

Coconut oil is cholesterol-free and contains medium-chain good fats with 50%-55% Lauric Acid-a healthy nutrient that supports the metabolism.

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 coconut oil used for centuries as a staple food.

Ideal as a high-heat cooking oil (up to 350°F), as a nutritious substitute in baking, as a "better-than-butter" replacement on bread, vegetables, or popcorn, and as a luscious oil for skin care, hair care, and massage.
