I first gave this product 5 stars because it was made In California and tasted good, but after a second time buying it, I'm revising the review.
It's uses are limited - for salads, I prefer extra virgin avocado oil or olive oil. You can't use this for salads because it's semi solid/thick and gooey. Same goes for frying since avocado oil has a higher smoke points than this product as does olive oil.
For instances where you'd use coconut oil, why not just use coconut oil? This product has SLIGHTLY less fat, but it's not significant. Saying it's healthier than coconut oil isn't accurate.
I don't care for the packaging. It's over 100 degrees on my porch in the summer. When the product arrived, the container was greasy and pressurized.n

Subtle Chili Lime Flavor, Not Quite Solid when Cold, Pretty Good on Popcorn
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017
The Cocavo with Chili and Lime coconut/avocado oil is a nice blended oil to use when cooking. As a fan of both coconut and avocado oils, I was interested in trying a blend and found the oil good for pan frying foods and for using as an oil to help flavor my popcorn. Because the weather was cool when I received this oil, it was in a semi solid state, but now that the weather is much warmer, I've been stuck with a good bottle of liquid oil. The oil itself is a rather unappetizing green color. Because it's been so hot lately, I've stored it in my fridge with even more horrifying looking results - the stuff looks beady once refrigerated, but it will melt and taste just fine when cooking.The overall flavor is discernible when used for cooking. I tried it out on a hamburger patty seasoned with simply salt and pepper and could not taste the chili lime flavor at all on the finished patty. However, when used on popcorn, the flavor is noticeable, although very subtle. There heat from the chili is barely tongue tingling - even those who can't handle heat will be able to easily handle this oil - and the lime flavor is present but not puckeringly so.While I like the oil, I'm not as impressed with the vessel that holds the oil. Normally this wouldn't be a factor in my review, but this container is only a little more solid than your average pint size ice cream container. Because of the flimsy lid and the hot weather, this container is just asking for oily messes on the counter and floor. I'm fairly careful when opening containers - particularly of oil - but there's been more than one occasion where I've had to clean up after my husband pried open the container and got it on the counters. It wasn't long before I ended up transferring the contents to a mason jar. Heaven forbid this stuff gets shipped in hot weather...it's an oily ticking time bomb just waiting to oil down all the items in your Amazon package.Overall, Cocavo is an interesting oil blend to use. The flavor is subtle and the oil works well when using on popcorn. I'd be interested in trying the other flavors down the line.
