I read that cold pressed virgin coconut oil has a very mild coconut flavor, but some here have said this brand has no flavor. Is that true?

When I first started using it, I noticed a very, very mild flavor. Now my family and I use it all the time and we are used to it, actually we love it. It is not overpowering at all.

this particular brand has incredible flavor. It reminds me of an almond joy candy bar. i've tried a couple othe brands that had no flavor whatsoever - this Vitacost one is incredible.

You have Hit upon, one of the Best Companies out there. They are not only NON-GMO-verified, but also 1% of All Sales go to Sustainable Agriculture. This Oil is Organic, Unrefined, Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. No refrigeration is needed. Also, It's not Processed with Hexane like a lot of Coconut Oils are, and also Pesticide Free.I think that about does it. Enjoy your Coconut Oil, you won't find a Better One.

This is definitely refined. A easy giveaway is the packaging - coconut oil is solid and only liquifies at 76 degrees or greater which is why it's sold in jars not bottles.I prefer to buy the huge jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil that way it has multiple uses and there's no degradation in the effectiveness.

The difference is how they process the coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil (the kind we traditionally eat and is solid at room temperature) is cold-pressed. Fractionated coconut oil has been heated. The process eliminates some of the coconut odor (which I Love) and some other elements. I personally would apply virgin coconut oil to wounds because I believe it still has many of its healing properties.

My husband fried some eggs with it and I thought they would taste terrible and said so. He informed me he always used coconut oil when he friend eggs and I ate them and never noticed. So, since I have a strong sense of taste and smell I would say you will not notice a coconut taste when you fry with it.

It is like most oils, but kind of sweet, has its own smell like an essential oil. I don't dislike it, but if you can't stomach something like coconut oil, I don't recommend it. It is noticeable in my coffee and I stopped using it that way. Might be better to squeeze it into your mouth and take it straight. Or in something fruity like a smoothie.

It does not have a taste, and can be used for oil pulling but organic cold pressed coconut oil works best. You just have to warm it slightly to get it out of solid form.

Nutiva Virgin Coconut Oil is cold-pressed and never deodorized or bleached.

"EXTRA" virgin, when it is applied to coconut oil, is a meaningless marketing ploy. "There are essentially two types of coconut oil -- virgin and refined. Virgin coconut oil, or VCO, is made by pressing fresh coconut meat, milk or milk residue. Refined, bleached and deodorized, or RBD, oil is made from the coconut copra or dried kernel and may be chemically treated." http://www.livestrong.com/article/266229-what-is-the-difference-between-virgin-extra-virgin-coconut-oil/

Hi, I purchased the coconut oil in the yellow jar. It does say extra virgin. Buy that one instead.

It is cholesterol free, cold pressed and unrefined, organic, 100% pure coconut oil. It stays solid below 76 degrees F. While it doesn't say non-hydrogenated on the label, I would assume it was from that.

Coconut oil in general consists of about 65% MCTs, but only about 15% is that which is found in products marked as MCT oil. Hope that helps! As Lois stated, this coconut oil does have the flavor of coconut. It is good for baking and cooking certain foods. However, if you don't want the full coconut flavor, try a refined, organic oil....most of the same benefits but no taste or smell.

A much better way to make oils is by expeller pressing. This is a chemical-free process in which the nut or seed is compressed to force the oil out mechanically. During the process, friction is generated which can sometimes generate too much heat for some more delicate oils like olive oil. This is where the term "cold pressed" comes in. All cold pressed oils are actually expeller pressed oils, it's just that the expeller pressing is done under controlled, cooler temperatures. No where on the label on the bottle do I see refined. There is a statement that says cold pressed and hexane free.Refined oils have been processed to remove impurities, making them more stable, especially for higher-temperature cooking. Since this is not an oil for cooking I assume its just cold pressed because refined and cold pressed don't go together and would deplete nutrients. Since this is pretty pure almond oil and is cold pressed it only has a 3 to 4 year shelf life. I use it for massaging.

Hi Richard, Our Rosemary Essential Oil is truly pure and undiluted. And because it is soconcentrated, the components of the oil makes it unsuitable for flavoring.Thank you for inquiring!

Kari,The consistency of coconut oil depends largely on the temperature. When warmed, this product will become a clearer liquid. At room temperature it is a solid. Let me know if you need anything else, and have a great day.-Kaylan with customer service
