Our verdict

A steam-processed organic oil aimed at high-heat cooking. It is a refined oil, so it differs in color and taste from a virgin version.

Overview

Nutiva steams organic Southeast Asian coconuts instead of using hexane or other solvents, which leaves a neutral oil in a fifteen ounce jar. The seller adds that a little tint can survive the process.

A plain profile means it works in recipes where a coconut taste is unwanted. The set name field says one gallon, which conflicts with the stated size.

Who it's for

A home cook who sautes and stir fries and wants a neutral-tasting organic oil that also suits keto and paleo diets. Someone who loves coconut flavor should choose a virgin oil.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Neutral flavor and aroma
  • No hexane used
  • High-heat cooking use
  • Vegan, keto and paleo
Cons
  • Refined rather than virgin
  • Set name conflicts with size
  • Smoke point is not stated
  • Storage guidance is absent

Performance notes

Steam processing strips most coconut aroma and flavor, so food tastes of its own ingredients when cooked in it. High temperatures are within the use the seller describes, though no smoke point figure is given.
