Amazon Verified Purchase
Before I tried Nutiva coconut oil, I purchased a jar of "Jungle Products" raw extra virgin coconut oil. It was my first time using this oil so I didn't know what to expect. The girl at the store recommended it, she said the oil from Jungle Products was much better than the one from Spectrum (the other brand they happened to carry). Anyway, this oil had a very clean coconut aroma, which I liked a lot but it was a bit pricey so, a few weeks later, I decided to order Nutiva coconut oil, based on the many positive reviews and also to save money. I bought a 54 oz jar.
When the oil arrived (on time and nicely packaged, btw) I didn't quite know what to think because it didn't smell like the Jungle Products oil. The Nutiva oil has a sort of "toasty" smell. It's not very strong but it took some getting used to (actually, I never quite did, as I'd find it rather off putting at times). So I spent a few hours online trying to find out why this oil smelled like that. Well, I wound up landing on a "raw food talk" forum where people were discussing the fact that Nutiva coconut oil is not raw and that the company has finally come out and stated that they have been changing their manufacturing processes and that they will soon produce raw coconut oil (which was supposed to hit the market by September 2009, however their website doesn't seem to address this).
I know that heat does not affect coconut oil (and I doubt Nutiva uses very high heat to process the oil) so I'm not worried about that but the way they manufacture the oil may be what produces that particular smell which I don't really like.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I ordered coconut oil from Tropical Traditions, which smells lightly of fresh coconut.
If Nutiva raw coconut oil ever becomes available, I will give it a try and report right back.
However, I've just learned that (quoting from the Tropical Traditions FAQ page): "Any coconut oil distributed anywhere in North America has 'seen heat.' Shipping containers used to ship the coconut oil to the US by sea from the tropics can reach temperatures of over 130 degrees F. If you have a truck deliver coconut oil to your home in the summer time by any of the major carriers, temperatures inside that truck will reach up to 125 degrees F. In the winter time coconut oil turns solid and MUST be heated in order to be repackaged into retail size containers from drums. Tropical Traditions uses large insulated containers that hold many drums and keep a steady temperature of between 90 to 100 degrees F. in the winter time to keep our stored oil liquid so it can be repackaged. It does take longer to liquefy 55 gallon drums this way (a few days) in the winter, but it more closely resembles ambiance air temperatures in the tropics. Many other repackagers use electric drum bands to melt the coconut oil more quickly, and temperatures inside the drum become much hotter, closer to boiling temperatures. So any coconut oil you buy will have 'seen heat.' But the good news is that coconuts are designed by our Maker to grow and thrive in hot climates, and the oil is not harmed in any way by these low-level heats."
So, in closing, go ahead and give Nutiva coconut oil a try. If you've never used virgin coconut oil before, chances are you won't even notice that toasty smell. If you do, well, then you may want to try either of the two other brands I've mentioned in this review.

I use this coconut oil as a skin softener. It is fabulously rich and it smells good too. I also use it on my hair when doing a heat treatment. It strengthens the hair shaft and makes hair healthy and resists split ends.

Nutiva's organic coconut oil is terrific. They press it from fresh coconuts, and I think that's what gives it the nice gentle fragrance and wonderful taste. I like the clear plastic jar it comes in. We've been using coconut oil for years and Nutiva tastes much better than the coconut oil from dried coconuts. I even spread it on crackers. Yummy!

I purchased this to use as a moisturizer and it definitely does the job! My skin feels super soft and the coconut oil just melts into it.

Satisfied
I use this product as a skin oil. I don't like the taste of coconuts so the smell was a bit to overcome initially (more potent than previous brand I used); but I got used to it
