I mention in many of my blog posts how much we love coconut oil. However, not all coconut oil is created equal {by any means}. Of course, using coconut oil is much better than refined oils; but we have found the highest quality of real-food coconut oil comes from Tropical Traditions.
They have a gold label coconut oil, which is the highest quality, and has a coconut flavor. For cooking foods that I do NOT want coconut flavor, I use their expeller pressed coconut oil. Expeller pressed oil will not have the coconut flavor.
My children take coconut oil by the spoon full. We add it to smoothies, cook our eggs in it, and I replace it for butter in any recipe. With Max’s dairy allergy, I know we can rely on coconut oil for his health and safety. I trust Tropical Traditions, and the process by which they make coconut oil. {FYI: there is no such thing as “extra virgin” coconut oil. When you see that on a jar of coconut oil, they are just trying to grab your attention, because everyone associates the best olive oil with “extra virgin” olive oil.}
We use so much Tropical Traditions coconut oil, I am saving to buy it in the gallon! They run awesome sales on all their products, which is when I jump on my purchase, so be sure to sign up for their sales alerts!

I’m trying to find out how long your organic coconut oil last for long term storage?
Hi! Thank you for your question.
This is from the Tropical Traditions website: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/faq.htm#4
“Does Coconut Oil need to be kept in the refrigerator, and how long does it last?
No, coconut oil does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. In the Philippines and other tropical climates, where the ambiance air temperature is much higher than North America, people traditionally have not refrigerated coconut oil. Virgin Coconut oil is very stable since it is unrefined and mostly saturated. The expiration dates on our Virgin Coconut Oils are for two years, and on our Expeller-pressed coconut oils they are 18 months, but they will usually be fine much longer than the expiration dates. We do recommend you store the oil out of direct sunlight. In the tropics coconut oil is almost always a liquid, since it’s melting point is about 76 degrees F. In North America it will usually be a solid, butter-like consistency. It can be stored in either form.”
