I emailed Nutiva directly. Here is their response: "We are now labeling all of our coconut oil as virgin coconut oil. It is still the same high quality, organic coconut oil that we have always sold. Some countries, like Canada, do not allow the use of the term extra virgin to describe coconut oil. As we expand into other markets around the world it was thought best to use the term virgin coconut oil across our entire line instead of using different terms for the exact same product in different countries. We haven't changed the quality of our coconut oil, only our label. There is no difference between virgin and extra virgin coconut oil. They are both marketing terms with no definition in law or regulations. Unlike olive oil which has multiple pressings, organic coconut oil has just one pressing. Our coconut oil is the same product as before, but we are using a different marketing term on the label." It would be nice if the sellers of this product would let consumers know about this, as Nutiva says they've asked all of their retailers to inform their customers. This knowledge would have saved me much time and hassle.

Maybe you got a knock-off. I don't know why it came in a clear container, mine came as pictured. I would contact seller and asked why, and I'd ask as for a replacement. Did it work? Did you try it? Sometimes packageing runs out; so they were probably doing what they could to get it to you. If its the same company, they are good as far as i know. ive used their product several time. but not sure. Mahalo. Happy Grow Lucky!

Well just noticing the one on this picture doesn't have it. However it says organic cocnut. I have organic virgin coconut oil unrefined and it does have the usda label on it. Hope that helped a little. Check to see if yours is reg organic coconut or if it says virgin coconut

If you look up and read why Extra virgin oilive oil; can be called"extra" by way of processing and how its extracted from the fruit; then that should explain why" Extra" Virgin Cocount Oil is a better quality. More importantly there is no heat used in the process of extraction of both Olive oil and Coconut oil. Therefore, the oil is living and not dead.

The oil i bought online did not smell like the oil i bought from salons in the past. I don't think it was the real thing, so i got a refund and threw it out. i guess you have to be careful buying it online. My seller was SAI Holdings.

I'm very fond on now foods brand. They have a vanilla oil with jojoba oil it's slthe real stuff. But it's not vanilla absolute. They mix it with a carrier oil. My homeopathic doctor visits their plant every year to see what's going on with the company and I trust her judgement on the quality of the company.

That's a good one. I've ordered from natures one directly and from here and both had the same lables. Unless its the non dha one they sent or nature made a slight recent lable change and amazon has older ones, check the dates on the bottom of the can.

Yes, it is coconut butter, the oil is separated though... at the top, so I thought it was just the oil, but nope. I'd never heard of butter, I meant to order just oil but, Anyways, its fabulous quality and flavor.

No. That's not the same. Extra virgin is first press. Anything after that is less in quality. It all depends what you use the oil for...

The likely reason is due to the fact that the word "virgin" as it applies to coconut oil is meaningless. I would assume that they removed that word to avoid confusion and because it is totally unnecessary. All you really need to look for when buying a good quality coconut oil is that it is USDA organic, unrefined and cold or expeller pressed. Nutiva has all of this.

I liked the taste. It tasted just like any other Extra Virgin oil. For me, it was more virgin than some of the common extra virgin oils you find at grocery stores. It also tasted good for dipping also. Good luck.

I have order the oil in glass container which is better for the oil. Unlike plastic great for shipping. You can check with the company to see why they changed and if you can have a preference. The website is on the container. The company seens tp care about their products they sale. Yes I am the kinda person to read the fine print of things.
