I LOVE it for my pie crusts! I weigh out (or measure) how much I am going to use, then put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes BEFORE I put it in the recipe. My crusts come out so flaky!!! I also have been using it in cookies. The flavor of the crusts and cookies are great too. This doesn't overpower anything, very neutral, but seems to add just a hint of lusciousness. Somehow the mix of oils just works so well, its almost buttery. It IS the consistency of a soft butter. The palm oil is for creating flaky baked goods, the coconut oil provides the added health benefits of lauric acid. This shortening is vegan and contains no dairy, soy or canola! It is organic, non-GMO and Fair Trade certified. The golden color reveals the presence of antioxidant vitamins A & E naturally found in red palm oil. No hexane, dairy, soy or canola Non-hydrogenated (Zero Trans fats!) No cholesterol Non-BPA container Review: Better for you - and the environment - than any other butter substitute! - I just LOVE this newest version of "margarine" if you excuse the comparison. For making pie crust, or anywhere margarine, Crisco or other shortening besides butter is called for (or a mix of both for that matter) this is just SUPERB! Formerly a chef,and having cooked since I could stand on a chair to reach the counter (over 55 years now!) I still love to bake and cook and I still make everything from scratch; thus I have the experience and know-how to tell quality ingredients when I see/use them. This is IT! Frequently better for many uses such as pastry dough, pie crust etc than just coconut oil, or only butter (makes a flakier crust). Nutiva has blended red palm oil and coconut oil (and no, you don't smell nor taste the coconut) to make a bland that could sub for butter on the table even. Light yellow in its natural color from the red palm oil, it is better for you by far (read the label!) than butter and definitely better than fake chemically laced margarine, The best part? besides the taste, the flexibility of uses in cooking and baking - this is sourced from South America! ONLY Fairly Traded family owned farms vs clear cutting orangutan dwelling areas in Asia as MOST other red palm oil comes from (did you know that?!?! I didn't till I read it on Nutiva's website). So now you have NO excuses. AND the price - definitely worth the few dollars spent here on desertcart (cheaper than any other source I've found!). Go buy it NOW! you will not regret it. ## Features - NATURALLY EXTRACTED: Nutiva?s all-natural Certified Organic processes yield a golden colored, nutrient-rich, non-hydrogenated (0 trans fats) shortening without the use of hexane or other dangerous chemicals. - NUTRIENT DENSE: Nutiva USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, Fair for Life Red Palm and Coconut Shortening is a rich source of healthy fats and antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin E, beta-carotene, tocotrienols, and tocopherols - PREMIUM DIET COMPATIBILITY: Nutiva USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, Fair for Life Red Palm and Coconut Shortening is an ideal addition to vegetarian, vegan, whole food, paleo, ketogenic, and gluten-free diets.

What's the shelf life?** A: The shelf life for refined Palm oil is 2+ years.The shelf life for red palm oil is 1 year. Refined coconut oil should last 1½ years without showing signs of rancidityA properly purified unrefined coconut oil will keep much longer than refined oil and this applies to other vegetable oils as welSaying that, each time I bought mine, they came with about a 1 1/2 year expiration date from when purchased it. I hope that helps.......I have yet to get a bad one sent from them. **Q: does this need to be refrigerated before it's opened?** A: no- refrigeration is only needed after it's opened **Q: Does it work for frying?** A: It works fine for frying, and it seems like you can use fairly high temperatures. I use it for popcorn and it works just like coconut oil.. Be aware that it is heavy compared to canola or other vegetable oils and has a fairly strong taste, a cross between butter-flavored Crisco and coconut oil. It"s heavy enough to add a slight taste to something bland like popcorn. Also, the color is a fairly deep yellow, if that's a consideration. **Q: Does it have a coconut taste?** A: I've been using this in my baking, including Pizza Crusts, for around 8 years and I have never noticed any smell or taste of coconut. Red palm oil is a Superfood, extraordinarily good for you and fantastic for so many different baking needs. I highly recommend Nutivia. It's imperative to Know where the Company is sourcing their Palm. Too many new Palm plantations demolishing Rainforest Habitat that are Irreplaceable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If they sold this by the gallon, I would buy it! *by J***S on July 31, 2015* Ingredients: *Organic Palm Fruit Oil, *Organic Unrefined Red Palm Oil, Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil *Fair Trade Certified by IMO 90% Fair for life ingredients This is by far, the best shortening I have found!!

This is a good choice for a healthier "Shorting" that suits some of our cooking needs, mostly for frying. It is pretty much flavorless, so it does not interfere too much with the flavors of what we are cooking. We use this product instead of any cooking oils. This product does NOT do well for greasing pans for baking breads, cookies or cakes! We are fairly happy with this product and will continue to use it, mostly instead of butter in a fry pan. UPDATE 05/04/2024: Apparently, this product has been discontinued??? It has not been available for quite a while on Amazon and got dropped from my Sub and Save. I guess we will just be using regular coconut oil now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/3384775-nutiva-shortening-classic-organic-15-fl-oz](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/3384775-nutiva-shortening-classic-organic-15-fl-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
