Hey PJ,

I live in Los Angeles and I buy Spectrum Naturals coconut oil which does not

taste like

coconuts (or anything, from my POV, but then again I've never had a super strong

sense of smell/taste!). This oil is available at Wild Oats and Whole Foods

Market.

Hope that helps!

I've been using " Virgin coconut oil " from NOW Foods. Although they are

here in Illinois, I think they distribute nationwide. It DOES have a

coconut smell and taste.

I saw a chef on TV a while back explaining the " Extra Virgin " and " Virgin "

classifications for olive oil. He said that the " Extra Virgin " is from

the first pressing of the seeds and has the most taste. The " Virgin "

olive oil is from the second pressing od the same seeds and has less

taste. Each successive pressing has less taste than the previous one.

I'm assuming the same holds true for coconut oil.

These are all expeller-pressed products.

I buy it by the gallon pail. It is cheaper than by the pint. I buy mine from

Wilderness Family Naturals in Northern Minnesota. Maybe they would ship to

Canada eh?

==>Maybe so eh? I like that Jeanne. I'm originally from Wisconsin

but changed from " huh " to " eh " fairly easily. lol!

Does Wilderness Family Naturals have a website, or do you have a

phone number or address for them?
