Product Description
Brian and Marianita Shilhavy were the first ones to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines in 2001. This Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is a truly unrefined coconut oil. This coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw from organic coconuts. Coconuts are used fresh (within 24 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. 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 a 50% - 57% content of lauric acid, and higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than most other coconut oils. The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed to make coconut milk. The milk is then fermented for 24-36 hours, and the oil is then separated and filtered from the curds. 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 here 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 anti-oxidant properties. Independent laboratory analysis shows this to be one of the highest quality coconut oils on the market. Today when you buy Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil, you are still buying a coconut oil made by hand and benefiting families in the rural areas of the Philippines where the coconuts grow.Similar Products

I bought this from their online site last year. It's a wonderful product. I use it mainly for skin and hair. Smells great like fresh coconuts. Not overly greasy like baby oil. Solid at cooler temperatures so bring the jar in the bathroom with you so that it heats up after your shower and pour it into a squeeze bottle (ketchup bottles works well). Apply after bathing like you would any bath oil. My skin is moist and smells yummy. Also can be used as anti-frizz hair serum.
I almost bought another brand on amazon because of free shipping, but glad I didn't because other brands come in plastic jars. I think glass jars keeps better. The oil I bought a year ago still smells the same. And if you buy at their site, you'll sometimes come across special offers like buy one get one free. Also, their site has interesting info such as why there's no such thing as extra virgin coconut oil. I bought several jars and gave one to my mom and my best friend's mom. That's how much I love this stuff. Just bought 6 more jars today so I won't run out. Planning to give away some jars to friends too.

A friend gave me a jar of the Tropical Traditions coconut oil and also a jar of their coconut cream concentrate because I have dairy allergies. I just emailed her a huge thank you because both these products are good for replacing butter. The coconut oil is just like white butter (less salty, slightly sweeter, slightly coconutty) and the cream concentrate has a layer of the "butter" on top and can be used to make coconut milk. So now I have replaced two foods that I had to give up, milk and butter. You may not be that interested if you don't have diet restrictions but if you do, try this company.
