Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review...and Giveaway!

Well, this is the very exciting blog post I promised you...I was granted the opportunity to do a review for Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil! But that's not the best part. There's a surprise at the end of the post. So keep reading!

Disclaimer: Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of this product to review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose.  Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway in return for the free product.

I was very excited to try another brand of coconut oil, especially one that seems to have such a loyal following. I decided that the best way to get an instant feel for the oil was to eat it as simply as possible- slathered generously on a slab of banana bread.

 

 Mmm, tasty. I was very pleased with the flavor and texture. It was very smooth and delicious, without any particles or bits interrupting the creamy texture. The flavor was good as well, slightly coconutty, but not overpowering. Surprisingly, I didn't find the aroma to be quite as nice with this brand. I've really enjoyed the light coconut scent of coconut oil, and this one didn't seem to have quite the same pleasing scent. So far, so good. 

Next I used it to stir fry some chicken. Again, I was quite happy with the results. The flavor was not overwhelming and it cooked very nicely. My husband did comment on not liking the smell as it cooked however. I'm not sure why this is, perhaps a variation in the method they use to extract it? 

I have yet to use it to bake with, but that's next on my agenda. Overall, I have to say that it's a lovely, good quality coconut oil that I would be happy to use every day. I didn't notice anything about it that would necessarily cause me to buy it over a more economical brand. But, I will be buying this brand whenever I can do it within budget!
