How
coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture,
color, and aroma. Nutiva uses fresh coconuts and the oil is
cold-pressed. Contrast this to much 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 often deodorized — and ironically this product
is often labeled as "certified organic."
There is no comparison between Nutiva¹s 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.

been hard to find high-quality extra-virgin coconut oil in natural food
stores." says Nutiva founder and president John W. Roulac.
