Living Tree Community Foods Organic Coconut Oil is Extra Virgin and Unrefined. The flavor is mild with a fresh coconut taste and a strong coconut aroma. The color will vary from white to very light yellow. The oil will liquefy around 80 degrees and then re-solidify with small crystalline structure if cooling rapidly or large crystalline structure if slowly.
Due to the limited processing of this product some sediment or discoloration may occur at the bottom of the jar.
Is this oil raw? Our current research shows that traditionally processed unrefined EVCO goes through several procedures that can raise the heat of the white coconut meat above 115 °F.
Since there is not an industry standard with regard to calling traditionally processed EVCO raw, we’ve elected to uncheck the raw status of our 100% Organic EVCO on our product list.
Virgin or Extra-Virgin? Unlike olive oil, which has specific guidelines for the use of the terms Virgin and Extra Virgin, these terms are interchangeable with coconut oil. All coconut oil goes through one (virgin) pressing. There are no distinguishing features between traditionally processed Virgin and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil; they are the same product. We call ours Extra Virgin to match the description our supplier uses.
Packaged in a BPA-free Glass Jar.

What people are saying
In the past two months, I have read many books, perused dozens of websites, and Googled many terms related to raw foods. I have purchased several brands of coconut oil, many of which I considered inedible. I have also tried many brands of almond butter, olive oil, and other raw staples. With so much money spent, you likely understand why I am so pleased to have found such great quality in your products.
Yesterday, I attended a raw class taught by Brigitte Mars (author of Rawsome!), and was happy to share with my classmates my experience with your products and your website address. I even confessed to eating your coconut oil straight from the jar!
