is this extra virgin oil

yes and it's the best on the market. It's the only one I've found that is packaged in glass jars.

We did a lot of research and found this brand to be the highest quality oil.
1145652
yes it is, extra virgin, expeller cold pressed, organic and bottled in glass. Pretty much as good as it gets and trust me I have done my research. The only advice I have is to research your local discount stores, I was able to find a comparable brand "Tahitian Sunset" with all the same qualities including USDA certified organic for $5.95-major price difference.

They are not but they are working on it. It is, however, oil with wonderful flavor and past the cold test for me.

NO, it's not Kosher. In Fact, I've used 4 Different companies Coconut Oil, and although All 4 Were Organic, non were Kosher. I don't think that any of the Coconut Oils are Kosher. I Always look for Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Unrefined - Cold Pressed, and lastly Extra-Virgin.

Well just noticing the one on this picture doesn't have it. However it says organic cocnut. I have organic virgin coconut oil unrefined and it does have the usda label on it. Hope that helped a little. Check to see if yours is reg organic coconut or if it says virgin coconut

It seems to be! I have purchased other brands of pure Argan oil and this is the same. I'm not a lab technician so I can't be positive, but I'm happy with it. It's so good for my hair and skin and nails.

"EXTRA" virgin, when it is applied to coconut oil, is a meaningless marketing ploy. "There are essentially two types of coconut oil -- virgin and refined. Virgin coconut oil, or VCO, is made by pressing fresh coconut meat, milk or milk residue. Refined, bleached and deodorized, or RBD, oil is made from the coconut copra or dried kernel and may be chemically treated." http://www.livestrong.com/article/266229-what-is-the-difference-between-virgin-extra-virgin-coconut-oil/

I have not used any oil with mine since I've had it. Not sure where you can get it.

I don't know. I use on the stovetop with a little bit of virgin coconut oil.

Solvent, rather than cold pressing is generally used for regular, non-virgin coconut oil, but the solvent is washed out via filtering. This coconut oil is food-safe and also suitable for cosmetics and so on. I recently made 4 batches of homemade soaps that are all or mostly coconut oil. The oil is white without any noticeable odor. I would not expect it to have the faint coconutty odor of virgin, or extra virgin coconut oil. Perhaps the yellow version, colored with annatto seed, was sent instead?

Hi, I purchased the coconut oil in the yellow jar. It does say extra virgin. Buy that one instead.

I used olive oil, not extra virgin though.. it doesn't take the higher heat as well. Just olive oil for cooking.

True. Virgin coconut oil is still virgin coconut oil with or without the "extra" word.

This is a refined oil, I hope. I not only use in my food, I all so make soap with it. And love it. thanks Dave w.

Don't know if it's organic.. I'm pretty sure it's extra virgin. It's very red and thick, but melts very easily like coconut oil. The refined palm oil is clear and not "earthy" like this oil. I hold my nose and take it and chase it with OJ.

No, it is not. I received an e-mail from the makers which indicated that their oil should not be taken internally.

I emailed Nutiva directly. Here is their response: "We are now labeling all of our coconut oil as virgin coconut oil. It is still the same high quality, organic coconut oil that we have always sold. Some countries, like Canada, do not allow the use of the term extra virgin to describe coconut oil. As we expand into other markets around the world it was thought best to use the term virgin coconut oil across our entire line instead of using different terms for the exact same product in different countries. We haven't changed the quality of our coconut oil, only our label. There is no difference between virgin and extra virgin coconut oil. They are both marketing terms with no definition in law or regulations. Unlike olive oil which has multiple pressings, organic coconut oil has just one pressing. Our coconut oil is the same product as before, but we are using a different marketing term on the label." It would be nice if the sellers of this product would let consumers know about this, as Nutiva says they've asked all of their retailers to inform their customers. This knowledge would have saved me much time and hassle.
