Organic Coconut Butter - Bulk Size 8 lb, Baking, Cooking, Dairy Free | Ingredient in Skincare and Haircare, Organic Butter Spread for Healthy Snacks, For Desserts Like Brownie and Cookies

WONDERFULL!How I got it out from the jar:Skimmed 1st the fat to bowl... then, using long knife garved a hole to the center, and removed chunks of coconut pulp to another bowl.... once the hole was all the way to the bottom emty, I cut sections, around the void... removing chunks section at time... ( after that extra step, that was my own convinience: I muddled the puld through the strainer, resulting even consistency for easy incorporating with fat)... next [ Baine Marie] added warm, NOT, hot water to a pot, inserted the bowl with fat inside, on the counter ( not stove top needed)... the fat begun meltting immediatelly. Ensuring, that water stayed warm, changing the water as needed to warmer, I melted all fat... then begun adding the muddled coconut bulb to the meltted fat, geltly stirring with silicon spatula... continnuing keeping the water warm, as needed... this resulted smooth, evenly incorporated coconut butter, which tastes great!I made test batch organic, sugar free Truffles. I am not familliar with this brand= 1st time user, which for I kept the test batch small.I am absolutely satisfied with the result!I can use this coconut butter, just like any brand, that I have used in the past.Taste is mild and fresh.The lid had broken in the delivery. Seal was not compromized. And the plastic jar was also inside a shrink wrap.Better packaging, would had helped.

Once remixed, this product is superb. Excellent flavor, texture etc. This product has so many incredible uses. We love coconut and use this in cooking, drink mixes like pina coladas and desserts.The hard part:You have your work cut out for you since this product apparently got hot for a long enough period that ALL the coconut powdered solids fell to the bottom of the product and hardened. I don't even know if it is possible to get this product without this happening since it likely ships from overseas where temps can be quite warm. The shipping container as well as time it takes to get pulled and put into a warehouse are also factors. Additionally, warehouse storage could be warm. Then delivery to your home in the summer it could be warm. In any event, BE PREPARED for a long reconstitution period and hopefully you also have someone nearby to help you when you get tired of trying to re-mix this. I did this all manually with a wooden spoon and my wife and I took turns stirring this for over 2 hours to get this back to perfection. We started by making sure the contents were good and warm. Once we mixed it to zero lumps/clumps, we moved the pail into a large bowl and surrounded it with ice. We stirred it constantly, making sure not to get any ice/water in it while re-adding ice around it as it melted. Finally, we got it to a solidified state. This ensures a smooth consistency and it will hold once it fully comes down to 75f. The stirring toward the end, as it starts to set up firmer becomes quite a workout.

I love this larger size! I have been purchasing the smaller one, but this larger size is such a great price! This coconut butter is smooth and creamy, melts easily in my coffee, tastes fantastic, and has such great health benefits. The container is strongly sealed and has a screw top lid to ensure freshness. The coconut oil and manna may separate a little bit, with the oil rising to top, so I just shake really well upon arrival (I live in FL, so it’s almost always liquid when delivered) and it stays well mixed once it solidifies again. I use it in my coffee every morning, and in the occasional batch of pina colada’s…so yummy, and so much better for you than chemical laden pina colada premix!

I'd first like to start of this review by saying I've tried other brands of coconut butter/manna (Nutiva/Artisana/Nature's Way/etc) and I fell in love with Kevala's coconut butter when I happened to order a jar of it (the 1 lb). It definitely has a different taste to it -- almost slightly sweeter to be honest than the other coconut butters. It can be a little gritty compared to others but if you warm it up and mix some coconut oil in it it's pretty smooth. I can go through a 1 lb jar in two weeks so I thought I'd get the 8 lb tub to save a few bucks.So why the 4 stars? Well, I ordered this tub in February as I figured I'd munch down on it for the next 3-4 months only, to my disappointment, to see it expires in April. I thought it'd have a further out date just due to the amount so I contacted the seller and they worked out something with me so I definitely would rate their customer service department a 5 star. They did say that the date was more of a best by type of date and did not necessarily mean the butter would go bad once April came around. However, if anyone has ever had with rancid oil you tend to shy away from the product when it's reaching it's best by/ expiration date. I know you're not suppose to store it in the refrigerator either but that's why butter knifes are handy ;)Long story short, I'd recommend this if it's for a family / someone who plans on doing a lot of cooking and not a single person who just wants a few spoonfuls of it a day for health purposes. I added a photo to compare the two (8 lb tub vs the 1 lb jar) so you can get an idea of how big it is.

Delicious alternative to refined sugar. I haven’t had ultra-processed sweets nor cane sugar or honey this year and am attempting to limit even natural foods that can spike one’s blood sugar. In my quest to find “dessert” foods, I stumbled upon this coconut butter and, wow, am I blown away.Simple solution to the separation:Melt it with the jar lying horizontally….duh…lol. Then let it FULLY COOL horizontally as well. This way, you don’t have to worry about it separating into an upper/lower half again, it’ll cool in a way that once you turn the jar upright, you’ll have the oil on one side and the flesh on the other. Just be sure the lid is on tightly and put it in a sealed baggie before immersing it to avoid any contact with water. Once it’s like this, you can use a paring knife (careful!) to carve out cubes and then only melt what you need rather than having to melt the whole jar each time and risk degradation.

After reading all of the reviews, I didn’t quite know what to expect. But, I eat coconut butter regularly. So, i went ahead and made the purchase.OpinionQuite honestly, it was not any different in consistency than any other brand of coconut butter. That being said, let me level set expectations:1. No matter what brand of coconut butter you get, there’s always the “butter” (ground coconut pulp usually hardened as it is packed into the container) on the bottom and “oil” (the consistency of a wax, jelly, or liquid- depending on its temperature) at the top. The primary difference in this brand and others is its’ size. In my case, I purchased the 8lb container.2. When you deal in large volumes, proportionately, there is naturally more butter and oil. As one can imagine, a standard size jar is easier to manipulate and stir, etc. Thus, be prepared. For seasoned coconut butter consumers, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.3. You might consider transferring it to smaller containers for facilitate storage. It will be easier to distribute later.I noticed some reviewers complained about status of packaging upon arrival. My container was perfectly sealed. It looks similar to a small plastic paint can. And similarly, in order to open it, you must break the seal by cutting the lip of the lid in various pre-marked locations. This allows you to pull it off.I noticed others complained about expiration date and storage. If there’s been an issue with expiration, that’s no longer a problem. Mine doesn’t expire for nearly 11 months from now and it will be long gone before then. Further, in reading the container, it states “refrigeration is not recommended.” So, I have mixed feelings about this: I’m sure that they have enough experience with quality control, etc in order to state that. Why would any company risk their reputation otherwise? I would also guess that once you open the product and how you utilize and serve from the container may effect how long it will last before going rancid. I don’t intend to store mine in the refrigerator. I would also mention that I will always verify that it is fully closed after each use and won’t be double-dipping with utensils or anything of that nature which my shorten its’ life expectancy.Overall EvaluationTaste - excellentQuality - excellentEase of Use - good / considering sizeColor - good / normalCost - excellentThis product is great for frequent users.If you are a casual user or experimenting with coconut butter, this is way too much for small/infrequent consumption. For those on keto//Paleo/Adkins/low carb diets, it’s a great addition.I hope my evaluation helps anyone considering to purchase this product. 👍🏻

The product is like thick cream. But if you are looking for a taste like fresh coconut cream, it is not the same thing. This is more like mature grainy coconut paste. The mouth feel is like you are eating a thick butter with grainy texture.

I thought pacjage wasnt delivered, but it got buried during the blizzard.***Product shipped fast and product was extremely pure, fresh and delicious! Very high quality.

Muy recomendada es deliciosa

I have bought this product twice. I really like it, and use it in a special cookie recipe, and other baking recipes. It is a little hard to open the container, but my husband figured that out. I warm the amount I need over some warm water, so that I can stir it. The flavour is worth the effort!

Not a huge fan of this size jar because half of it was indeed coconut oil while the rest of it looked like white clay...mind you it states coconut butter so maybe that's what coconut butter tastes like. Not sold. Price wasn't worth it either. At your own risk

This product has a great flavor, and is very reasonably priced. I removed the lid, then placed the pail in the oven, and set temperature at 175 F. and left it in there for 2 hours, then removed it, and vigorously stirred & mixed it with a large wooden spoon, & then poured it into 8 jars. I highly recommend this product !

Buen sabor y deliciosa consistencia. Sabe a coco natural, grasos y rico. Puedes combinarlo con muchas cosas para darle un toque dulce o salado. Yo lo disfruto así solo.
