Re: coconut oil free samples

[Guest guest]

Aubin,

This is fantastic coconut oil. It is the virgin oil we use at home

all the time. The distributor reports that it is cold spun for

separation and never heated.

Thanks . I currently use Tropical Traditions, and I love it,

but will try this other brand as well.

Like Aubin I use Tropical traditions CO too, but have requested a sample of

the CO supreme. Does anyone know how the production of these 2 oils compare

and contrast and is there any reason to favor one over the other except on

taste?

Note to Aubin: thanks for the tip on the CO samples and also the cheese

resources I've been looking for sources of raw cheese. I've emailed them

about the temp of the milk and will pass on any info I get.

COS may be completely unheated, and it definitely tastes a lot better.

I did this research about a year ago. If memory serves me correctly

there really is not a great difference between the two. I prefer the

Coconut supreme to the TT however honestly I can't say one is

superior to the other. The differences as I know them are as follows

Coconut supreme is from india, it is not ever heated, separation

reportedly is done via cold spinning in a large centrifuge.

TT is from the phillipenes (sp?) and is made in the traditional way

via fermentation which involves some heating however not to very high

temps. Considering Coconuts are at the top of a tree in very hot sun

for their lifetime the amount of heat in the fermentation process is

likely a minimal or non issue.

One claims organic the other does not, I forget which is which, my

understanding is that orgainc in either location means little.

There is a v. slight difference in taste with the coconut supreme

being slightly milder. Emphasis on slightly.

Ultimately you can't go wrong with either of these products.

Thanks Dr. this is helpful information. I'll wait for my sample and

try my own comparison on the taste.

Just a note to everyone out there--as I'm sure many of you have found,

eating NT can be a bit challenging and a big part of that for me is finding

sources. I just want to encourage people who may have researched a food or

sources like Dr. describes below to be sure and share the

information with the rest of us. Something that's old news to you may be

just what someone is looking for right now. If we can save each other some

time in our hunting and gathering (a paleolithic joke)that would be great.

The archives are great but sometimes it seems really good info gets hidden

under uninformative subject lines.

explained that ine organic certification for TT would mean

that he

could not have coconuts supplied by native people because the certification

includes no animal manure. Being native and self sufficient some people raise

their livestock on the same land.

Is that a peculiarity of ine certification, or of the new global

standard, or is it true here too? I could certainly understand requiring

the animals supplying the manure to be certified organic in all respects in

order for the plant product to be certified, but banning manure outright is

absurd! That means if you're biodynamic you can't be organic!

Its ine if I remember correctly and included ban of all animal manure.

Absurd is right! Likeliness of native Philipinos grain feeding their livestock

is low if its e coli they're concerned with. Purist organic for sure.
