Default What is your favorite brand... Coconut Oil

Just looking for a better brand of Extra virgin coconut oil. Not super experienced with it, but I first had Spectrum, and now found Nutiva. Spectrum is much better when eating by spoon. Nutiva has a bit less flavor, but has a slight grittyness that is not desired, I am sure it will be unnoticed when added to things.

Please note your preferences in brand, and why? thanks

Nutiva. The grit goes away when it's melted.

I tried Tropical Traditions, but it had a bad taste, almost chemical, even though it was supposed to be organic.

Nutiva because I can get it from Amazon with free shipping. I cook with it and melt it in my coffee each morning so I don't notice any grit. Love it.

DITTO! And they have it in 54 Oz. jars which is what I buy. It takes me about 40 days to use a jar. With big jars you are not paying as much for the packaging - something that bugs me.
