You don't " have to " buy virgin coconut oil, but I couldn't find any description about their organic virgin CO, since it must be unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached and non-hydrogenated. Maybe you could contact the company to get that information. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend using it. Here's a link for other good companies that have coconut oil, but you still need to verify they are unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached and non-hydrogenated: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/coconut6.php Here's my Mountain Rose Herb ad on my website, which helps me when you buy from them: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/mrh1.php Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Clara, their prices are good! I sent them an e-mail to ask how much it would be to ship 1 gallon of their organic virgin coconut oil. Nutiva charges $49.99 for 1 gallon, but that includes shipping. Many other companies charge even more for 1 gallon, so right now I am happy with Nutiva (their service is great too). Some places have nice low prices, but by the time you figure in shipping, there's not as much price difference as it originally seemed.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Actually, I've found the cheapest way to get Nutiva coconut oil is through Amazon. They have a subscribe and save program that you can get it shipped to you as often or as infrequently as you like and it is just under $10 (including 2 day shipping) for two 15oz cans. Hope that helps, > > Clara, their prices are good!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi , Thank you for that tip about buying Nutiva at Amazon.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thank you Bee, I sent them a message asking them the specifications. I meant " Extra virgin " ...Is the organic virgin CO ok? or it must say Extra? Will let you know their answer, since the price is so good ! > > > > > > Hello Bee, > > > > I found this website that has oils in bulk http://www.bulknaturaloilsstore.com/coconutoil-organicrbd-1.aspx > > > > Is the organic virgin CO ok? or it must say Virgin? > > Here's a link for other good companies that have coconut oil, but you still need to verify they are unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached and non-hydrogenated: > http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/coconut6.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensure their coconut oil is unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached and non-hydrogenated, and ask them how they get the oil out of the coconut meat, i.e. expeller pressed, or another method.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 It really isn't fair. Coconut oil is so much cheaper in the States than it is here in the UK. I can't believe the difference in price. I could get it cheaper from the States, but the shipping is prohibitive. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon now and making a 'killing' commercially. I get through so much of this stuff and it is crippling my finances. > > > > Actually, I've found the cheapest way to get Nutiva coconut oil is through Amazon.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Alison, since there are a lot of subcontinent Indian immigrants in the UK, and since India is a major source of coconut oil, might there be a less expensive way to get coconut oil through an Indian food market? The same criteria would apply to buying coconut oil from that kind of market... Not RBD; organic; what kind of processing. I have seen some small jars of coconut oil in one Indian market near me in the States. It was cheap, but when I opened it up, it smelled funny, so I did not use it. It is awful that coconut oil would cost so much more in the UK. Pam Maltzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I checked out their cheapest shipping costs for 1 gallon of coconut oil; it would be between $17 and $18. Add that to their price for the 1 gallon, and it comes to between $45 and $46. That IS shaving a few dollars off the price of Nutiva ($49.99) which includes shipping. I might or might not try them in the future. However, Nutiva often gives me one-day service, because I'm in Southern California, and they are just up a ways in the same state. At any rate, it's good to know that we have a variety of sources from which to choose.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi, this is Angie from Az. I purchased a 5 gal container of CO from Mountain Rose Herbs for $149.00 plus s/h of $26.00,price per gal came to $35.00. That is a good deal and there are a few people that want to go in with me each time I order. Instead of paying $37 for ea. gal, plus $12 s/h I now will only pay $29.80 per gal plus s/h of $5.20. > > > > > > Actually, I've found the cheapest way to get Nutiva coconut oil is through Amazon.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Pamela, yes there are Asian food shops fairly locally and they do sell coconut oil relatively cheaply but it is only RBD oil. I did contact the company (KTC) and was told that the benefits of the oil are still intact - all the fatty acids are still in it. It is apparently not chemically extracted, but is very bland which suggests that it may at least have been deodorised. This is a product that is used extensively by the Asian population both here and in India. Maybe I will have to contact the company again and try and get more information about the processing and what it goes through. Thanks for your input though. Much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hello Bee, Here is their response: " When we call something " virgin " it is unrefined in any way--so all of those things that that you mentioned---it is non-deodorized, not bleached and definately NOT hydrogenated--it has a natural 76 degree melt point---it still has that coconut smell. It is COLD PRESSED - so no chemicals are used in the pressing. " It sounds great right? Thank you for all the good tips, I am going to keep looking to see what its the best deal !

If their products are trully unrefined they should be willing to put all of those details on their labels and website so no one has to doubt it.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Can we choose the type of oil we order? Is it coming from Wilderness Family Naturals? We'd definitely like to order, I just want to make sure we can get organic > > Is anyone planning a bulk order of coconut oil soon?
