Re: eBay brand?

November 11, 2006

RITZCOCO is selling a RBD oil, but I don't like that they claim:

" This Virgin Cococnut Cooking Oil Is Made From Our Original Ritzcoco Virgin

Coconut Oil BUT With The Coconut Aroma Removed. Great To Fry Food And To Make

Popcorn " .

This is definitely NOT a VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, see the low price.

AGATEGUARD is the same product. Same origin, same design of the ebay page,

etc....

Take care that while their price is interesting, you must add 19.95 $ per gallon

for sending fees.....

eBay brand?

What brand are people buying from eBay? I saw two main ones and don't want to

buy the wrong thing.

Ritzcoco sells the VCCO which is the cooking oil. It contains 47% lauric

acid and the smell has been removed.

Agateguard sells the VCO 63% lauric acid and smells delicious.

I have purchased both of these. They actually come from the same place both

come from a business called Fortunetoys.

I have found them very easy to deal with and the products are excellent.

They also sell a lesser grade for the purpose of making soap called OCCO.

for good coconut oil look up tropical traditions or wilderness, or nutiva

I use a lot from tropical.

We'll forget that then. That websites good. I'll save that for

when i run out. I've got eight jars coming that I ordered from

elsewhere but the discount runs out soon so it won't be as cheap.

Looking for a good supplier for the future. The 4 litre one seemed

quite good. £10 delivery is not bad. I think for the non virgin one

it worked out about £4.00 for 400g It doesn't give you the lauric

acid content though does it. If you try it will you let me know

what its like.

Yes off ebay I just checked they are still listed heres the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem & item=120050907897 & ssPageName=MERC_\

VIC_RSEE_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT & refitem=120043264565 & itemcount=4 & refwidgetloc=closed_vie\

w_item & usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX & refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

Both the Agateguard and the Ritzcoco are solid below 76F. You place the

container in warm water to melt it before pouring out of the container. I pour

off 1 pt at a time and leave the rest in the orginal container.

There should be only a very tiny tiny amount of polyunsaturated and

monounsaturated oils in coconut oil and the Lauric Acid content

should be much higher than that. the agateguard is 63% and the ritzcoco is

47% this is the cooking oil

And there really is no such thing as Extra Virgin Coconut Oil according to the

explanation

There IS extra virgin Olive Oil but thats an entirely different process.

Lots of folks are claiming

extra virgin coconut oil as a marketing technique.

You may contact Agateguard by writing here Boba_guard@... .

See the yellow color of the oil? this is NOT VIRGIN COCONUT OIL....VCO is

white, white and only white....

Anyway, the price they sell it is another indication. They simply CANNOT

import VCO from Asia into US for this price. This is food grade cooking oil,

that's it.

Remember: When the price of an item looks too good to be true, it probably

isn't true....
