+++. That doesn't mean that Nutiva isn't good. Nutiva I've

bought was very creamy. Maybe you got a bad batch or something. See

if you can return it.

+++. Good unrefined coconut oil is supposed to be hard when

cooler than room temperature. Melt it and it will be the same as other

good coconut oils.

Hi and Bee,

I'm a regular user of Nutiva coconut oil and have found that sometimes

it is more smooth and buttery than others. The gallon I have right now

is rather dry and flaky. It still tastes the same though. Sometimes

I've found that if I let melt it and then it hardens back up the

texture changes slighytly. I don't kow where you are located ,

but I'm in the US in the state of Missouri...we're in winter time

right now and when I ordered this gallon of Nutiva CO it may have

gotten very cold or nearly frozen during the shipping time it would

have taken to get to me. I've wondered if extreme cold might change

the texture. It's just a thought... Regardless....if you are

questioning the quality of your Nutiva CO, please call or write to

their customer service people and ask them why the textural

difference. We often forget that customer service people are there for

reasons such as this and they might appreciate knowing that you are

concerned about their product. From my experience of them, they are a

very quality conscious company and would want to know of your concerns

and I'd bet they'll try to help you out.

Is Tropical Traditions Gold Label coconut oil acceptable for this

program? I hope so because I have 2 gallons of it. Nourishing

Traditions website suggested it.
