49 Jarrow Formulas Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil is expeller-pressed from the fresh flesh of the coconut palm, and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut oil is a source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Lauric acid is used to synthesize monolaurin, an immune supporting monogluceride. MCTs offer a rapid source of energy since they are directly transported into the liver without going through the lymphatic circulation. Coconut oil is stable even during long periods of storage. Because its melting point is 75-76 degrees, coconut oil can be used in both liquid and solid forms, making it ideal for cooking and baking.

Title:Very Surpised

Date:January 11, 2012

"I have read articles about how good coconut oil is for you, doesn't turn to fat in the body and that Jarrow brand was one of the best. Decided to try some and was surprised that is tastes so good, that it even can be used as a mositurizer on skin and hair. I received a benefit I never realized also-it keeps you "regular". At least it does now for me. It goes into my hot cereal every morning and have even used it to saute vegetables, burgers etc. I recommend this product to benefit your health."

Title:Awesome & Cold Pressed Too

Date:October 14, 2011

"I switched to coconut oil for all my cooking needs a few years ago...yeah it's healthier but sure does put a dent in the wallet...until I found this website.
In the health food stores this exact same Jarrow coconut oil product and size costs almost 3 times as much as on this Swanson website. Now I can afford the coconut oil- YEAH!!!
Now as for this Jarrow brand, it is excellent. The taste is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about it...except, buy it and try it. You won't be disappointed."

Title:Tasty, wonderful smell

Date:September 6, 2011

"I love Jarrow's coconut oil! I had purchased some Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from my local natural grocer and the taste/smell was horrible! Who knew that a change in brands would make such a difference. Jarrow Formula's oil has a wonderful coconut aroma and flavor. I use it on my skin and hair, cook with it, and take it orally (2 spoonfuls a day). I highly recommend this coconut oil."

Title:Flavor comparisons

Date:August 18, 2011

"I love this brand of coconut oil. It was the first I bought and when I first opened it, the dog came running to the kitchen with his nose in the air. Like several people, I use it for cooking and externally. I have gotten 2 other brands and their flavor is not even close to the Jarrow flavor. I give the dog a little less than a teaspoon on his dry food in the morning. I tried one of the new brands and he backed off from it. Later, I tried mixing another new brand with Jarrow and put it on his food. His answer - NO WAY. So he agrees with me 100% Jarrow tastes the best. So we are ordering more."

Title:Good tasting

Date:July 27, 2011

"This is a very nice mild tasting coconut oil. It has been very hot here, and when it arrived it was totally liquified. I refrigerated it overnight which caused it to solidify too much, but since then it has been kept at room temperature and remains at the proper consistency."

Title:Swanson has a challenge to beat this one.....

Date:July 4, 2010

"I've been buying Jarrrow Coconut Oil from Swanson for quite a while now. Chose it originally because it was a few cents cheaper than the Swanson brand. I really do like it a lot. Now, Swanson has made their brand name a bit cheaper than Jarrow Coconut oil. I am going to order a container of Swanson just to compare but I bet I will go back to Jarrow since I was very satisfied with all the jars I've purchased in the past. Swanson, ya really gotta be good to beat this one!

Would like to see both brands in a glass jar though....."
