I confess that I did not read what it said on the lid of the jar before I opened it, I could see the writing but it did not register that it said I had to immerse the jar in warm water then shake it. There is more to it than that. When I opened the jar I could see what looked like ordinary set coconut oil, but not as tasty and rather hard. When I put the lid back on I saw the writing so I put the jar in warm water just up to the lid because I didn't want the water getting in. I left it for some time but nothing seemed to be happening to the contents so I put some hotter water in the container, and eventually I could see it melting a little. It took some considerable time and rather a lot of shaking and still the contents were separated so I poked it about with a knife and stirred it until it eventually was all the same consistency. It tasted amazing. However it has to be stored refrigerated so the resultant " butter" is a hard crumbly difficult to remove from the jar mass. It is impossible to spread it. The flavour is irresistible though. I love it.

Value for money and such an amazing taste. Much better than coconut oil

Used this to make Magic Shell chocolate coating..... thats the liquid chocolate syrup that hardens into a crunchy topping when poured over ice cream, you need only coconut butter and chocolate chips so yummy! I also make Hemsley & Hemsley's 'Paradise Bars' as suggested by another reviewer...Thank you to Rose Lois Presley!!!:-)) So easy to make We are addicted to these just great for the gluten free dairy free family members. The coconut butter is easy to melt in warm water in the bag provided or in a bowl over simmering water (I tried both) The coconut butter was very fresh and tasty I am about to buy some more.

I really enjoyed this product, I put it on toast and pancakes to start with, then used it melted and added to shakes and hot chocolate. At room temp it looks like wax, and the instructions tell you to warm in water to melt it. I found that a pain so was melting it in a microwaveable container. I have not quite got the taste using it on savoury food, I have ordered coconut oil to try that. The smell and taste are not overpowering but as I love coconut I found it was lovely to use, and used the jar up fairly quickly. I tried a little straight from the jar and it was a bit like eating smooth peanut butter, melted on toast etc, it was tasty and not so claggy.

On the surface when I first opened the jar I thought it’s no different to coconut oil , but when I dug down it is rich creamy and coconuty

This is a good coconut oil NOT something exotic indicated by the name it is given - coconut butter !!! I was initially intrigued by the name and was deeply shocked and disappointed to note that it was only plain old coconut oil.

Absolutely yummy! I use to sweeten turmeric lattes and this does the job brilliantly.

This was my first ever purchase of coconut butter and I had expected it to spread just like real butter. It doesn't! Even stored at room temperature as per the instructions on the jar, it remained rock hard and impossible to spread. I had to chip the butter apart with a knife in order to break off some of it. I tried sitting the jar in a bowl of boiling water and eventually it softened slightly. However, you are never going to be able to take this out the cupboard and spread it on toast. I thought it was just this brand, but having now tried a different brand I found it was exactly the same! It would appear that coconut butter - whatever brand - is simply rock hard. However it does taste nice once you have managed to soften it. I have added it to steamed cabbage with some black pepper and it was a lovely. The coconut taste is very mild and does not overpower the taste of the food. This is a good buy once you accept the fact that this is not spreadable straight from the jar.
