Virgin Coconut Oil -- eww!

Well, I've been using some expeller-pressed coconut oil, but I've been reading about how "great" virgin coconut oil is. Bought some at my local health food store. The smell was wonderful -- I love coconut -- but the taste! Sharp and kind of acidic. I used it to make my "fudge" and it was inedible. To be blunt, it tasted like vomit.

Am trying it out in my zucchini muffins right now. If that doesn't work, I'll just use it on my feet and hair. :P

I'm pretty sure it's not rancid, since a) the date is in 2008, b) it's hard for coconut oil to go rancid and c) it doesn't smell rancid. I'm a cook -- I know from rancid.
