The quality/taste varies considerably, even among brands that tout
themselves as being virgin, unrefined, etc.  Spectrum has some of the very
worst I've ever tasted.  It's a wonder I was ever willing to give coconut
oil a second try.  But the second try I gave was with Garden of Life brand.
It was good, also pricey--but a little goes a long ways.  Am now using a
pint sold at the health food store that was packaged from a bulk order.  I
don't know the brand.  It's very much like the Garden of Life brand but a
little tastier.
