Re: So what company makes the best VCO?

[Guest guest]

I drink VCO mixed with Carlson's cod liver oil and Carlson's fish oil.

Carlson's oils have a lemony flavor which goes well with coconut

flavor.

Hi:

You might also want to try later our fresh-centrfiuged cold-processed VCO.

The oil has a fresh taste and aroma, practically the same as that which exist in

fresh coconut meat. Our first shipment to the US, to The Wholefood Farmacy at

Tennessy, www.thewholefoodfarmacy.com, is dispatched this week and is expected

to be available there by last week of this month. Nutiva will carry the product

by March, when things will continue to happen as intended.

Those who are used to the distinct stronger taste and aroma of fermented VCO

or heated VCO may find the taste and aroma of this oil lacking. Alobar has

tasted it and have given this feedback. Its freshness may however be a big

relief to others looking for VCO with a higher sense of purity. More info about

this oil can be found from our website www.ag-nutriceutical.com.

Thanks.

Hi Tony,

It seems like your VCO is superior in health benefits to the more

flavorful oils I now buy. After thinking this over, I realized that

for cooking, your oil would lose benefits because of the heat. But

when taken by itself, or made into salad dressing, your oil would be

superior.

These days I am mixing Carlson's cod liver oil, Carlson's

Omega 3 fish oil, and coconut oil, which I drink when I have my

morning dose of whey. l like coconut flavor blended with Carlson's

oils. However, if I use half flavorful VCO and half Tony's neutral

tasting oil, I get the benefits of AGPacific high purity oil along

with the coconut flavor I love.

I have no money to buy 5 gallons of VCO now. And since I will

be using smaller quantities since I shall continue to buy more

flavorful VCO, 5 gallons of AGPacific oil would last me a very very

long time. So I am very excited that your oil will soon be available

thru a US distributer so I can purchase it in small quantities than 5

gallon pails. I do hope they sell your oil in liter or half-gallon

containers.

Hi Alobar, thanks for updating your feedback. Actually, after you gave your

feedback before, I started to develop another centrifuged VCO that will have a

finer version of the aroma and taste that you like. I am close to completing it.

So eventually I maybe able to present an acceptable option to you and similar

users that will not require mixing two types of VCO.

The product that we shipped to Wholefood Farmacy is in 500 ml glass jar.

I was hoping for flavors like that company I mentioned is offering LOL!

I already have other oils I take...none are flavored. I guess it goes back

to convenience. To just be able to scoop out(or pour) a flavored VCO

would be very nice. I'm still amazed that more companies don't offer

something like that. Maybe it's hard to do..?

I don't mind the taste of what I currently use. And I'm sure others taste

better- I have

tried others that do. But wouldn't it be nice to have- Strawberry, Sweetcorn,

Vanilla, and

Caramel?..and chocolate...etc?

I guess I could use coconut milk- powdered even..and make my own flavors. Would

be a

little easier at least.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for them- hopefully somebody will update us here

when they do become available.

Most flavorings are either not good for anyone, cannot be used by

people with some conditions, and some folks just would not like the

taste of many flavors.

I would avoid all flavors with sweeteners because I am diabetic, and

all chocolate because of my problems handling foods with high oxalate

content. As I use VCO in cooking as well as just drinking it, I doubt

I would like any flavored oil to cook my burgers and lambchops, and

chicken. I have no interest in strawberry flavored anything. So a

company offering flavored VCO would have to inventory lots of

different flavors plus an unflavored VCO, so lots of money would get

tied up in inventory.

You might experiment by cutting up a vanilla bean and letting it sit

in the VCO for a month or longer to flavor the oil.

But the problem, as I'm reading even in this group, is that many

do not like the taste of plain VCO either. Then some like one company's

over another, etc.

So the more variety, the better imo. People can avoid those they would

supposedly have a problem with, as well as(of course) using plain CO

in their cooking.

There are many products out there that companies offer in various flavors.

Protein shakes(whey..soy..you name it)..bars...other drinks..etc. It's more

money for them because not many like to keep taking the same thing over

and over again.

Now that I think of it..I do have a # of packets of some natural flavors

sweetened

with xylitol, from a company that used to sell them for flavoring plain

carbonated

water. Not sure if they'd mix well with the VCO or not.

By the way, does anyone know what's going on with the Cocoark company? I did

send

them an email but haven't heard back from them yet. Just a couple of days ago

their

website was still up and running.

Flavorings meant to be used in water probably will not dissolve in oil.

If you like spicy foods, and want some *ZING* in your coconut oil, you

could add a drop or two of cayenne oil. You would probably never

taste the coconut flavor in the VCO..

Alobar

[Guest guest]

Nah..not into spicy at all. I would even say if the oil could taste more like

coconut I'd enjoy it from time to time.

I've emailed some companies that make natural flavorings for various things, to

see what

they'd recommend. I'll try a bit of the stuff I have one of these days.

I just don't have anything to add it to on a daily basis

that would make it as consistent as taking it by the spoonful,

and making sure I'm getting that much.

Especially things that aren't heated.

It is easy to add food-grade artificial flavors to VCO. Many are already doing

it. But using using, natural, organic and unprocessed flavors in VCO with long

shelf life needs a lot of development work.

A village man told me of a nice way to flavor VCO. Squeeze a few drops of

fresh lemon or citrus fruits into a spoonful scoop of VCO. Its really great. As

Alobar shared, the taste blends well with VCO. It takes out the " oily feeling " .

Well I did a little searching and haven't found any flavored ones

besides the one I posted about earlier, and I think they said theirs

was natural.

Anyway..got a response from one natural flavoring company. Theirs has

a shelf life of 2 years. They don't know how that would change adding

it to coconut oil, but one would think it'd be ok, especially if

doing it yourself- a quart at a time or something.

But I've read monolaurin is a very good preservative. Add some more

to the coconut oil? Or perhaps a preservative such as this:

Hi ! I pursued the link that you provided for natural flavors

http://tiny.cc/Wgoqa, it required that I save the page before I could get access

to the detailed description of the product. I find this strange and felt there

is unacceptable risk. Did you open the link to the detailed description of the

product? I am not sure if it is really safe. If this info came thru a spam I

simpy would just have ignored this. But coming from a member of this list, I am

thinking that this is really a legitimate site. Would appreciate very much

further info, if there is any. Thanks.

That particular link was for the Wysong oil preservative. The link to the

detailed description of the product is actually a pdf file, and is perfectly

normal and safe. You can save it or just open it right away, but you need

the pdf file reader: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

It's actually a very interesting product. I just don't know if it'd work for

what

I'd like to do, or if it's even necessary. Same for the monolaurin.
