Have some paper towels ready; expect to add oil/salt/etc. for taste
I ordered an 8oz jar of ISOP Black Sesame Seed Butter after reading about health benefits of black sesame seeds. I've never tried any kind of sesame seed butter before, so I didn't know what to expect, other than what's in the listing. As stated, there are no sugar or oil additives; no salt either. This makes for a somewhat bland taste, but it's not difficult to add those things if you want them.The first thing I tried was to make hummus. I ended up adding quite a bit of olive oil and lemon juice to get anywhere close to a familiar (storebought) flavor.But the biggest surprise was that this stuff is very black and very sticky. Whatever you use it with, you will need lots of cleanup, so have some paper towels handy. I was worried for a bit that my hands and my spatula were both going to be permanently stained. The hummus, in spite of using regular white chickpeas, and a lot more chickpeas than sesame seed butter, ended up totally black, which was a bit weird.Nutrition info isn't shown in the product listing or photos so I'm adding some of it here: Servings: 14, Serving size: 1 Tbsp (16g), Calories 94, Fat 8g, Sat Fat 1g, Trans Fat 0g, Cholesterol 0mg, Sodium 2mg, Carb 2g, Fiber 1g, Sugars 0g, Added Sugars 0g, Protein 3g.By my measurements I got close to 16 Tbsp from the 8oz jar, rather than the stated 14.The label says "No GMO" and "No Dyes No Aromatizers No Preservatives", also instructs to store below 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) and away from direct sunlight.The expiration date was 2 months after my order, just enough time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.

Warning: This product can be very addictive
If you love pine nuts as much as I do then be very careful because you can find yourself consuming the entire jar in one sitting if you don't pace yourself. You will think you died and went to heaven. It's that good.

Tasty but Texture was odd
It tasted ok, but the texture was grainy and not like a spread. Flavorful but would not purchase again.

Peanut butter is good, but poor packaging
Peanut butter is good, nothing outstanding, but I like the fact it’s 100% peanut. Just unhappy about the packaging. Came leaking and I wasn’t sure if it had been tampered with. Took a risk, let’s see how it goes.

It’s Not Spreadable !
Liquid that floats to the top isnormally stirred in. I couldnot penetrate the solid ballof pressed almonds by stirring !No stir/No spread ! No eat !Maybe remove ball & slice it ?Not for me .. better almond butteris available .. on Amazon.

Really really gross
I ordered this flaxseed butter as a replacement for peanut butter due to kidney stones. This was so gross it is comical. Tastes like sludge and leaves a film on your teeth that is hard to brush away. I am pretty flexible with food so coming from me, just take my advice and get sunbutter instead.

Expensive but quality stuff
the real deal... raw cacao butter... I treat it like medicine... i take 2 small teaspoonfulls a day i dont bother softening it just use a fork to break it up a bit in the jar as its a solid... its an aquired taste as it is a wee bit bitter but once i got used to it... its fine... its a pickmeup....a healthy raw choc treat....

Disappointing
I have used this type of butter before and on trying this one I am disappointed. It is nothign liek as nice as others, it is bitter (I know the kernals are slightly bitter, but this was more so), it was mostly oil. Not much in the jar.

Mantequilla de lino natural sin artificios
Me ha gustado esta mantequilla de Semillas de lino. Tiene buen sabor y se agradece que no lleve ni azúcar ni edulcorantes. Así la puedes endulzar a tu gusto o no. Advierto que es muy pegajosa pero a mí no me importa. Tiene más consistencia que una mantequilla de cacahuete.Lo peor es el precio. El bote es pequeño y a ese precio no lo andaría comprando de forma frecuente.

Prodotti ok, confezione artigianale
Il prodotto é buono e naturale, la confezione lascia a desiderare (non arriva con il barattolo della foto). Sembra vecchio, ma basta scaldarlo un po’.

Broken Jar broken and Rotten Product
Apart from the delivery that was on time, the box containing the product arrived broken, the glass of the jar was broken as well and the lid was not sealed.As the Cocoa Bean Butter was completely dry like concrete and definitively rotten, I can only guess that the product was already damaged before it was sent to me.
