Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This is from Nutiva’s site and how they say they make their oil – is it not true?? Get the facts on why some coconut oil taste's delicious and others bland 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.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks for looking that up about Nutiva. I've also emailed Mountain Rose Herbs to ask about their extraction methods, I'll let you all know when I hear back from them. www.kellythekitchenkop.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
