As someone who loves to cook, I was excited to get to try Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil. I know that coconut oil can really add some awesome flavor to a dish!
I was given a 32 oz size to review and I was very pleased when my first recipe with it tastes absolutely awesome!
Tropical Traditions makes their coconut oil the ‘old fashioned way’ with family producers in the Philippines using methods passed down for generations.
I decided to make a pot roast and then make tacos from the meat. I first made a roast, in water with a dash of ginger in it.
After it simmered all day in the crock pot, the time had come to use my Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil. I put a tablespoon in a skillet, on low heat. I allowed it to turn from a hard fat into an oil and then I added shredded pot roast to it. The aroma was amazing. I then added taco seasonings to it and a bit of tomato paste.
It was absolutely delicious. The roast soaked up the oil and it gave it a wonderful taste. I added green leaf lettuce, black beans and a bit of mango-pineapple salsa. What a treat! My husband was drooling!

comes as a solid fat (i do not know if that info is in the video but it was in your review - do not know because I could not hear the audio due to my loss of hearing) but i did play the video
They make their coconut oil the traditional way and it has twice the antioxidant levels of other coconut oil.
