Coconut is one of the world's most nourishing super foods. This creamy taste of the tropics is great for sautéing and baking, enhancing your favorite recipes, and body care.
Our virgin coconut oil is cold-pressed and never refined, deodorized or bleached! Savor its rich aroma and its smooth and sweet flavor. It's ideal as a medium-heat cooking oil, a nutritious substitute for baking and even "better than butter" on bread, vegetables or popcorn. A pinch of salt will reduce the coconut flavor in savory recipes.
You can even use the luscious, soothing oil on your skin and hair. Use coconut oil as a natural skin moisturizer, eye make-up remover, or deep conditioning hair treatment. Combine coconut oil with coconut sugar and essential oil for an exfoliating, refreshing body scrub.
New! Fair Trade - We are now offering fair trade certified coconut oil in 14 oz.
*Bottled in a facility that packs peanut oil.
Please note that there is no difference between Virgin and Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil. They previously called our coconut oil "extra-virgin" to emphasize our commitment to quality, however as they move into international markets we have removed the term to comply with international regulations that disallow the term. Be assured that our product quality has not changed in any way.
