Tried it in many uses but didn't like it

I bought this olive oil since it was organic and went through 6 (750 mL) cans on a subscription but in the end I decided to stop buying it. I bought this oil to be my basic mid-priced olive oil primarily for sauteing. I like all sorts of olive oil -- from soft and buttery to peppery and green. This oil has a heavy woody scent not as fragrant as other good EVOO in this price range. Sampled uncooked the oil has mild initial taste not much olive flavor at all but not unpleasant but what I didn't like is its harsh after-taste. It was not good in salad dressings. With other flavorings the harshness is muted but still remains. In cooked dishes any olive oil flavor mostly disappears. In the same price range I've had better luck with obscure Spanish or Greek 1 L cans of EVOO from the supermarket.More detail ...

Wonderful all around olive oil

I love olive oil and use it almost every day. I'm from a Greek family so I was raised with lots of olive oil. A year or so ago I got interested in tasting the various brands and types of olive oil on the market sort of like I do with wine and coffee. Anyway this was the first that I tried in that vein and it's a winner. I've tried quite a few others but for all around great taste great packaging great price and availability this is the winner. I've made everyone in my family try it! I still can't get over how well priced it is for such an excellent and well packaged product.More detail ...

Best Tasting Coconut Oil I've Tried: Quality is A+

Nutiva's Organic coconut oil is the best I've found. I've tried several brands but nothing tastes as clean and pure as this. There is a definite undertone of coconut but I like the flavor even when frying eggs or eating it on cinnamon raisin toast. I recently had bloodwork done and my HDL (the good cholesterol) was an impressive 77---anything over 39 is considered in range; over 50 is heart protective). I attribute this great HDL number to using only coconut oil butter and olive oil in my cooking & drinking green tea.



Amazon's Subscribe & Save offer is a great deal; I really like the 2 pack of these smaller (15 oz) jars. We're a small household and I like keeping one jar sealed while using the other. Keep in mind that coconut oil is different than other oils--it is solid at temperatures over 72 so it will look something like shortening in the wintertime. Still tastes great and is wonderful to use in all kinds of cooking.



One more important detail: this is an organic COLD PRESSED coconut oil. Others may be organically grown but I've found some brands are hydrogenated to make them solid at room temperature (I won't go into all the reasons this is not a "good thing"). Suffice it to say that any coconut oil you buy should be cold pressed (and that goes for your olive oil as well). Google to find out why...



Happy eating!More detail ...
