5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value EVO Coconut Oil Available, October 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Vitacost Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil -- 54 fl oz (Health and Beauty)
After searching long and hard for the best value extra virgin organic coconut oil on Amazon, I found this product. Unfortunately since I made the purchase, the price has gone up from about $18 to about $20, but it is still the cheapest EVO coconut oil on Amazon. This is the only EVO coconut oil I have bought, but in my opinion from research I have done, all such products are the same or virtually the same in terms of quality, based on how they are produced.

Again, I do not know how other EVO coconut oil products taste, but this product tastes (and smells) great to me, just like fresh coconut, so why would I pay a lot more for another product? As far as I can tell it is identical in every way to the more expensive EVO coconut oil products on Amazon, so I am guessing that few people have bought it and thus no one until now has reviewed it because they assume the lower price means it is lower quality, and I can attest that this is not true. You do have to buy 3 of the 54 oz... Read more

I've tried numerous coconut oils and I must say I really like this one.
It smells so delicious when you open the jar.
I enjoy it so much I usually eat 2 Tbsp a day like some people eat peanut butter. If your way of eating is low carbing this product fits the bill and it's so healthy . I also enjoy making a "candy" treat with it.

1 Tbsp chopped nuts i.e. walnuts, almonds or pecans in a small cupcake paper or aluminum baking cup. Add 2 tbsp of melted coconut oil on top of the chopped nuts.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of coconut flakes on top.
Let it harden in the fridge then it's ready to enjoy.
Add a cherry on top when in season, grated orange rinds, strawberry halved...
Use your imagination...
~Enjoy, Sooo Goood

Don't remember how many times I've ordered this coconut oil but today's another time.
Recently, I saw a recipe for Paleo Coleslaw. If you need a change in taste from coleslaw made with mayonnaise then try... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better price than the Nutiva brand, January 29, 2012

This Vitacost coconut oil tastes and works just as good as the Nutiva brand and costs a lot less. My local store sells the 54oz Nutiva for about $36. To save some money I thought I'd buy the 54oz Nutiva 2 pack here on Amazon. Then I stumbled across this Vitacost brand and thought I'd give it a try. Since it tastes the same and has the same properties (organic extra virgin), why spend more money on other brands.

Updated 7/30/2012 >> WOW! My local Costco now has the 78 ounce Nutiva coconut oil for $21.49. Which works out to just under $0.28 cents per ounce.
