Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway
I was extremely please when I received my jar of Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil. I couldn't wait to cook with it. I love anything coconut, so this was a real pleasure for me to review.
Before I go forward with my review, here is a little bit about the company:
Before I go forward with my review, here is a little bit about the company:
This Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is a truly unrefined coconut oil. This coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw and surrounding areas from organic coconuts. Coconuts are used fresh (within 24-48 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each harvest. The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world! Testing done in independent laboratories reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water. The oil is then filtered from the curds (coconut solids). No chemical or high-heat treatment is used, and this oil contains no trans fatty acids. We do NOT mass produce this oil. It is made by families who are coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in the Philippines for hundreds of years. Our coconut trees and family producers are certified organic according to strict USDA standards. The families who produce the oil are also trained according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and re-certified each year. This high-grade Virgin Coconut Oil has a long shelf life due to the high antioxidant properties. The Gold Label Standard is our highest standard for Virgin Coconut Oil.
How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil
Now onto my review...
I am extremely pleased with the results and the taste of the coconut cooking oil. I had never used any before this review; I guess I just never thought about using it. I sure am glad that I did and I will definitely be buying more as soon as I run out.

I have been using very dark chocolate in my Primal/Paleo recipes.
I make an energy bar with whey powder, almond butter, almond meal, coconut oil (of course!), unsweetened shredded coconut, vanilla, egg and now I have added melted dark chocolate- they came out great! I see tropical traditions has some great looking organic dark chocolate. I try to only eat 75% and above, and their 80% looks darn good- I want to try it and would love to see you do a review on it!
I have been looking into coconut oil recently and would love to try yours. Thank you.
Coconut Creme Concentrate.
After using Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil for several months my cholesterol went down 12 points and my ratio is excellent but more important my brain is working again. I not only eat it, I cover my body right after my shower. I will never be without it as long as I live.
