I’ve tried several different coconut oil brands over the years, but Viva Naturals Organic Coconut Oil is by far the best one I’ve come across. The quality is unmatched—cold-pressed, unrefined, and USDA-certified organic, which means no harsh chemicals or additives. You can really smell and taste the purity!What sets this one apart is the smooth texture and light, pleasant coconut aroma. It melts beautifully for cooking, baking, and even works wonders as a moisturizer. I use it for everything—from sautéing veggies and adding richness to my coffee, to deep conditioning my hair and nourishing my skin.I now have this on “Subscribe and Save” so I never run out. It’s become an essential in my kitchen and bathroom cabinet. If you’re looking for a clean, versatile, and high-quality coconut oil, this is the one to get!

I love, love this brand of coconut oil! Clean, cold-pressed, organic and unrefined. Everything you want and need in a good coconut oil. The price and value for what you get is also appreciated. Coconut oil has many uses, hair health, skin health, cooking, oral health, etc. The texture of the oil is smooth but substantial making it easy to handle using it whatever you're going to use it for. It smells wonderful with a nice coconut scent that isn't overpowering. It liquifies nicely when put on scalp or skin and it tastes nice too when using it for oil pulling in my mouth. I don't love that the container is plastic as plastic is harmful to our health, but it is at least a hard plastic which is a little better. The cap screws on very securely and I have had no issues with it leaking even when I have dropped it on the floor. It will melt and turn to liquid if in a hot environment for too long, which doesn't necessarily compromise the product, just makes it a totally different texture functionally. I know this because it was just over one hundred degrees here and my central air is waiting to be fixed and it happened to me lol but I just threw it in the fridge and it hardened up somewhat. I will definitely buy it again when this container runs out. It has lasted me quite a while and would recommend this brand to anyone looking for a clean coconut oil.

Background:Coconut oil is considered a saturated small to medium chain fatty oil. It is the only oil (other than palm oil) that digests in the mouth, even before it enters the stomach and provides instant energy for the body to use. Furthermore, it also disintegrates at higher temperature, and unlike Omega-X based unsaturated oils, it is immune to changing with light exposure. As a result, it can form an excellent weight loss oil along with ability to regulate the body temperature and nourish damaged tissues. Also, it has berberine which is known to work against cancerous cells. It also has excellent oxygen pump to prevent carcinogenic growth. Disclaimer - "All these facts are to be proven by the FDA".The Good:1. Very original smell. It smells like the real coconut oil that I have experienced people make in Thailand and South India. This aroma retention is possibly from being unrefined and cold pressed.2. The granularity and consistency is again what I have experienced from an actual coconut oil manufacturing facility. Also can confirm the processing being unrefined and cold pressed.3. A raw coconut oil should be solid at room temperature but melt almost immediately once the frying pan goes above 77F. Also once it melts, it should flow more with water consistency than any other oil's consistency. Again this one does that.4. Melted coconut oil should retain the same aroma at even higher temperatures. Again this one does that.5. When cooking in the oil, the oil should make the ingredients glide over the surface.6. When applying on the skin, it should get absorbed really quickly after a good rubbing without leaving any stains or oily sensation unless it is on hair. This oil is silky smooth.7. Good reviews by fellow purchasers who have not steered the wrong way.Cons:1. This is addictive both for cooking and applying to the skin or hair. We use it for almost all the cooking activities. As a result, we tend to use it a lot.2. There are reviews stating that the oil sometime is in liquid form at less than 77F.3. Some packaging issues have been experienced with trapping of air by others.Bottomline:This is an excellent product, which has served us well. We don't have any bloating or gases after consuming it. There have been a time when we have just consumed it raw for gut health.
