Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I know we've got users of Wilderness Family Natuals coconut oil in our group. I'd love to hear from anyone who uses it as to what variety of their oil do you buy (their website says they have 3 kinds: Traditional ine, Centrifuge extracted and expeller pressed) and how it tastes. Does it have a strong, med. or mild coconut flavor? Does is have a strong, med. or mild coconut aroma? thanks! jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I had the same question and just bought some from WFN. I didn't see any of their oil that wasn't refined. I'm confused.... Can you please tell us which oil is not refined, 'cause the ones I saw all were. I bought from them to support you, but now it sounds like their product is not approved? Please help clarify! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The act of removing the coconut oil from the meat is " refining " . When you read don't buy " refined " coconut oil, it is talking about oils that are extracted chemically as these chemicals leave residues vs physical refining such as centrifuge or expeller pressed. The Tropical Traditions is probably one of the least refined and best coconut oils you can buy (if you can afford it).

When I clicked on " Information on coconut oil " , it brings up a page that's titled, " Find the coconut oil that is right for you " and shows three products. Their fermented coconut oil and their centrifuged oil both say, " extra virgin " raw coconut oil - that's what you want as it's not refined. The other one says it's expeller pressed and when you click into it it shows " refined " in parenthesis next to it - the one you don't want.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Bee Is there an oil that WFN makes that is acceptable? I thought since it was on your website that their oil would be good to use. I just ordered a gallon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutiva and Garden of Life are also great! Here's Nutiva: http://nutiva.com/products/10_coconut.php Here's information on Garden of Life Extra Virgin: " Unlike refined coconut oils, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods Filipino farmers have used for thousands of years. Meat extracted from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to make coconut milk. The milk is left to ferment 24-36 hours, during which time the oil separates. The end- product is an aromatic coconut oil that retains its taste, aroma and nutritional value for a very long time. In fact, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a longer shelf life than any other plant oil.
