we just bought some coconut oil from this place http://www.agbangakarite.com/whole_coconutoil.php
the quality is wonderful, smells heavenly, taste wonderful. this is a fair trade company which is in alignment with our preferences. this is our first shipment and we are very pleased with the company, there response staff and their good vibes in general. we ordered two gallons, it came packaged well and in a timely fashion. we did have to wait a few days for their fresh shipment to come in. below is a communication from them... Thank you for your support and interest in our virgin coconut oil. All our oils are food grade under the Togolese food regulation, but not under the FDA. We ship your order out by Thursday as our new fresh shipment will arrive tomorrow. Thank you, this site has some interesting info... http://coconutoil.com/ we have stopped using any oil but coconut and olive...the palm oil is out of our price range for now. i did enjoy reading daddy bob's account of the distinct flavors. we were caring for a kitty with fatty liver disease...the stress of being dumped set the condition in motion...and although he succumbed to fip, another challenge he had, the addition of coconut oil to his food we attribute to his lasting as long as he did in relative comfort. we actually got the jaundice cleared up...on the theory the coconut oil would help clean the liver and give energy in his emaciated state. we are exploring the oil issue in depth. i know that i am always cold in winter months and changing oils made for warm hands and feet...something i have never had. i had read some 30 years ago about rancid oils being one of the biggest causes of all sorts of health challenges...but like all good things you read...well, you know. i will never go back to the garbage they sell to a sleepy public. coconut oil is such a minimal investment in our health and the health of the animal beings at our special needs animal sanctuary when you consider all the things you have to do to cope with ingesting rancid oils, or just plain poly-unsaturated. the oil is simply AMAZING. rose
