Extra Virgin. 

Nutiva Coconut Oil Organic Extra Virgin is great for frying and baking, enhancing your favorite recipes, as well as body care. The traditional Pacific Islander diet includes large quantities of coconut, and those who still follow this diest have a low incidence of heart disease or overweight. Nutiva's Coconut Oil is processed immediately after harvesting fresh tropical coconuts in the Philippines. Unlike many organic coconut oil brands that have either a slightly tangy and sour, very bland, or very strong flavor, Nutiva uses a process that prevents fermentation and helps to retain the naturally smooth and sweet falvor of this highly nutritious food.

Nutiva Coconut Oil is always certified organic and non-GMO. They cold-press that coconut oil so that it retains its vital nutrients and delicate fats. They never bleach, refine, or add chemicals. What you get is simply the purest white, creamy fresh coco-nutty flavor and aroma of unrefined, chemical free coconuts. Coconut oil boasts many health benefits from its healthy Omega fats. One of the good fats, lauric acid, makes up about 50% of coconut oil. Lauric acid is a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in human breast milk. It supports healthy metabolism and is being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial health-protecting properties. Some researchers predict that lauric acid will become as well known in health circles as Omega-3 is today.

Besides its internal nutritional value, Nutiva Coconut Oil has benefits topically too, making it a luscious and soothing massage and body oil for dry and or damaged skin. It can be used on the skin to remove makeup, moisturize and relieve dried or itchy skin. It can also be used on the hair for a deep conditioning and moisturizing treatment.
