So I really like coconut. In a lot of forms. It’s consumed almost daily in my household. I drink coconut milk daily…sometimes out of the can…sometimes by the spoonful…really any way I drink it as quick as possible. This leads to stomach aches at times, but totally worth it. I also cook with coconut oil A LOT. Bake with it. Saute with it. Whatever need be, I have it on hand. I eat coconut flakes. Sometimes shredded coconut…that can just get messy. I don’t even want to get into what my kitchen floor corners look like. Dear lord. And I chow down on coconut butter, like a lot. I just made some chocolate coconut butter the other night. Coconut is the coolest thing in the world. Hands down. Don’t you dare fight me.
So when I was given the opportunity to review Tropical Traditions Golden Label Virgin Coconut Oil, I couldn’t have been happier. This stuff is AWESOME. Seriously hands down the best coconut oil I’ve ever tried. And believe me, I’ve consumed A LOT of coconut oil in my day. And it comes in a HUGE 1 quart jar so it lasts for.ever. It’s fantastic. I don’t have to worry about buying it on a weekly basis at the store anymore!
But what really gets me going, what really makes my world go round, and somehow gets me sitting on the kitchen floor with spoon and jar in hand is the Coconut Cream Concentrate. Some of you may know this stuff by the name of coconut butter. Same diff. Diff name. Stop being confused. It’s stupid good. Like OMG I want to have Coconut Cream Concentrate’s babies. That’s a lie. I hate babies. Except my friend Jenn’s baby. I took a picture with her today. She never stops smiling. Babies who don’t cry are awesome. Anywho, the coconut cream concentrate is pure awesomeness in a jar. It’s kind of the texture of nut butter but with an even more satisfying feel because of it’s awesome saturated fat component. You can have 2 spoonfuls of this stuff and be stuffed. Or you can be me and have 8…but that would just mean you’re awesome. And a badass. If you have never tried this stuff, get it. ASAP. And experience what love is. Guess I know what I’m doing on Valentine’s Day.

Not sure where this has been all my life, but it needs to be in my life statsies. It was shipped out yesterday and I can’t wait for my first date with it.
Coconut in any form is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up!
I can’t wait for your date. Pure heaven, it will be.
Tropical Traditions is out of the coconut cream concentrate, any other source? Or can i substitute something for it? I want to make your chocolate coconut bark?
Btw totally LOVE your blog! I have made two recipes off of it so far and both have been DROOL worthy!
You can use coconut butter, I have a “how to make your own coconut butter” recipe! Thanks so much for checking out my blog
Hi there, since this is an old post I don’t know if you will see my question, but I’m wondering, how do you keep the Tropical Traditions coconut cream warm enough all the time so that you don’t have to go through the whole process of warming and mixing the whole jar again? I bought a jar of it, and I went through the process of warming the jar in a bowl of hot water, then mixing it, but it just solidified and separated again, so I never use it. I just don’t have time to go through that whole thing over again each time I want to use a bit of it. The only thing the company told me was that it stays soft and mixed over 76 degrees, but that’s too hot a temperature to keep my house all the time.
oh man, i wish there was a better answer than warming it in a jar in hot water, but that’s truly the best way! it’s definitely frustrating and annoying, though.
