Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

That is where I get mine. I buy the 54 oz jar, as I cook with it, too.

I just finished "cocotherapy" coconut oil for dogs so just a few days ago I bought the "Nutiva" brand. It is so much better than cocotherapy. It smells fresher and tastes much much better. I will always buy Nutiva from now on.

I am considering trying it for cooking (for myself)...does it actually taste coconuty when you use it in place of olive oil, or not?

It depends on the brand. Nutiva has a subtle coconut flavor when used for cooking. I don't even notice it anymore. Spectrum is refined, so there is less coconut flavor, but it doesn't retain as much nutrients as unrefined. It's a personal choice.

I love everything coconut. My husband thinks I am seriously addicted to this amazing, healthy, tropical smelling oil. I use it in place of olive oil. I especially use it for cooked vegetables. I love it and the Nutiva brand is amazing.

LOL, I use it for everything. Scrambled eggs, veggies, whatever. I also use it as a skin moisturizer.
