I didn't even check if they had coconut oil last time I ordered from them....that site just gets better and better. The herbs are so fresh and such good prices too! A very trustworthy place IMO.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Just have to say ditto to Mountain Rose. I had earlier bought organic coconut oil from another supplier - $89 a gallon! I could see no difference between that supplier's and Mountain Rose's. I have a small business making soap and lotion, and I've started ordering most of my supplies from them. Look over all of their stuff - they have organic essential oils and carrier oils, and their catalog of herbs and teas is fantastic. > > I buy my organic extra virgin coconut oil from mountainroseherbs.com It > taste fabulous and is only $28 per gallon. > Kayla Woah!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks, everyone! The Mountain Rose coconut oil looks like an amazing deal at that price, and it looks to be very high quality. Probably not the tip-top but at that price, I'm buying. Tom > > Just have to say ditto to Mountain Rose. I had earlier bought organic > coconut oil from another supplier - $89 a gallon!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes, the Philippines. That is the unrefined organic coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I buy from coconutoil-online and get the coconut Oil Supreme. It is put through a centrifuge process. It's a Premium Virgin Oil. This process produces oil with the least amount of processing so that the natural vitamin E, antioxidants and fresh coconut " essence " are retained. Fresh coconut meat is grated and expeller pressed to produce coconut milk. The coconut milk is then centrifuged using a proprietary process to separate the oil from the other components. This oil has a very light texture and since no heat at all is applied it retains all the flavor and scent of fresh coconut. This premium oil is available in the U.S.A. under the trade name Coconut Oil Supreme™ . To the best of our knowledge, among the " virgin " coconut oils, this is the only organic oil which is produced under strict hygienic conditions. The facility producing this oil is ISO certified, HACCP certified and the oil is produced in a Kosher-certified facility. (Lauric acid content and fatty acid composition.) This oil has such a light and delicate flavor and aroma that you can literally eat it by the spoonful. I have used the Tropical Tradition before and I think this stuff is the best I have used. have any of you used it before? Craig > > Yes, the Philippines. That is the unrefined organic coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have used both coconutoil-online and tropical traditions. I like them both but the coconutoil-online is A little milder in flavor.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 This from mountainroseherbs.com: Botanical Name- Cocos nucifera Origin- Philippines Extraction- Unrefined Shelf life- 2 years Kosher Certified- Yes Notes- Will melt at 76 degrees and turn to liquid. This particular oil is " Virgin " unrefined and has a pleasant and enticing coconut aroma. If blended within skin care preparations at a high percentage, it may alter the scent of the final product. Suitable for both food and cosmetic use. This grade of Coconut oil is the same variety sold in natural food stores. Method Of Extraction Fresh, whole coconuts that are sound and ripe are shelled and then pared to remove the brown skin. The white meat is then milled to fine shreds and dried at a temperature of not more than 100 degrees for an average of 2 hours and 30 minutes. After drying, the milled coconut is passed through a customized, cold process oil press where the oil is separated from the coconut at a controlled temperature of less than 100 degrees. The oil is collected in a receiving pan and pumped through a series of filter cloths, which results in a water clear coconut oil, known commercially as Virgin Coconut Oil. The filtered virgin coconut oil is temporarily stored in a tank and made to pass through a final filter to remove any detritus left over before it is packed into its final drum. Specifications Color- White Odor- Penetrating coconut aroma Free Fatty Acids- 0.09% Peroxide Value- <5 Non-Saponifiables- Saponification Value- 248-265 Iodine Value- 9 Specific Gravity- 0.9 Nutritional profile (per 14 gm) Calories- 125 Fat- 14 gm Cholesterol- 0 mg Sodium- 0 mg Carbohydrates- 0 mg Protein- 0 mg Fatty Acids Caprylic- 5-9% Capric- 6-11% Lauric- 42-52% Linoleic- 14% Myristic- 13-20% Oleic- 3-12% Palmitic- 8-14% Stearic- 1-3% _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of craigcim Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 11:16 AM Subject: Re: Best Coconut Oil?
