Also, the 5 gallon at MRH is $205 with shipping (I live in TX), which is $41

per gallon. (If you can afford to shell out that much at once.)

Pamela, is the taste of the MRH as good as Nutiva? I like a strong coconut

flavor. I'm a little nervous buying 5 gallons since I've never bought coco

oil from them before. Maybe I'll buy a smaller size first.

Thanks,

Do you have any friends in the neighborhood who would go with you on

buying a bigger amount of coconut oil? We bought 2 cases of 4 one gallon

tubs each. There were 7 of us who each wanted a gallon and later

somebody' sister bought the last gallon. There was a discount on the

case of 4 gallons from Nutiva. Not sure if the 5 gallon bucket would

have been a better bargain or not. But nobody wanted to spend the time

measuring it out for each one.

Re Wilderness Family: shipping is free when you order a case, so per gallon cost

is $48 if you signup for their free buying club. Weston Price folks recommend

this brand highly.

I'd like to know how much was the shipping for Wilderness Family.

I just ordered another gallon from Mountain Rose Herbs; it was $39 plus

shipping, which came to $50.56. The previous time I ordered, it came to $55.51,

so their cost is actually going down a little bit.

At any rate, they beat Nutiva's price by over $30 per gallon. Good enough for

me.

Hi ,

I recently ordered CO from Wilderness Family and it has a mild coconut flavor. I

like Nutiva much better but Wilderness Family is still good. It just tastes more

mild to me and I like it stronger. So you may like it if you don't care for the

strong coconut flavor. It's still very creamy though.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me about the taste of Wildnerness Family or Mountain Rose

Herbs coconut oil? Are they a strong coconut flavor? How does they compare

to other brands? Thanks,
