How virgin coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture, color, and aroma. Within two hours of Nutiva's coconuts being chopped, the virgin coconut oil is cold-pressed. Also use Nutiva's Coconut oil as a soothing moisturizer for dry or sunburned skin, and a luscious massage oil. There is no comparison between Nutiva's coconut oil cold-pressed, Organic extra-virgin , with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color. Please note that any tiny brown specks found at the bottom of Nutiva's coconut oil are from the coconut fiber and are indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil.
