I swear to God it took me 25 minutes of sheer determination to get into this bucket of peanut butter. I could not believe how tough it was to open. You could literally use this bucket as a safe. First you have to remove the plastic "lock" strip, but that had areas where it was not scored so you either had to yank it hard or use a pair of scissors along the strip. But that was the easy bit (even though it wasn;t particularly easy). Next, I think the lid itself must have been stuck down with super glue, I tried to get the edge of a knife, then the bottom end of a spoon, back to the knife, nearly sliced my hand off when it slipped, and just try to jimmy the damn lid off in tiny sections around the bowl. I was knackered by the time I eventually got into it, and passed caring what it was I wanted it for, I had to have a spoonful of the stuff just to build my energy back up. I am not a weakling, I am a 50 something 5 foot 10 female of good build, but this bucket was a test for me, if you are not so strong you would never have got into it without a major electrical toolkit. Anyway, I got into it, used the butter for my recipe, had a good slurp whilst I had the bucket open, and oh my it was delicious. I then had to pop the lid back on, not quite as bad a job, but still needed a bit of force. I hope I have weakened the lid for next time I need it, not sure I could manage a second round.... But, for the peanut butter fabulous taste lovely and silky and creamy, very yummy... and my dogs loved it too (all I wanted to do was make some doggy biscuits lol)...

Hard to open but might of my fault, the pea butter is pretty great tho, I thought it would been quite dry coz of having less fat but it taste great, I would recommend not closing it fully every time you open it, hurts your fingers a bit

I wondered why the Amazon driver handed it over and disappeared quickly. When I put the box on the table the underside was drenched in oil that had leaked out the tub and falling apart, very messy. I was going to send it back but that was going to be a messy process too. So decided to keep it and proceed with original plan. Too big a tub to use practically, but I had plenty of clean tubs from my usual 1kg peanut butter brand. So I decanted into 5 of those, Many people said it was hard to open but my lid came off easily with just fingers in seconds. Inside was an ocean of oil where the butter had separated. I re-blended it as I decanted it. You can freeze peanut butter if your not going to get through it quick enough so I have a few tubs in the freezer. It will be interesting to see if the one kept in the fridge stays blended and thickens a bit as its quite a runny peanut butter. Taste is average OK, it is very smooth though, carbohydrate value unusually high and as I said very oily. Its not as good as my usual Whole Earth one but I wanted to try this as its cheap and I had an Amazon code offer on top so very cheap per kg. Edit: upped to 3 stars because used it a while and getting used to the taste more, its very roasted so is a bit of an odd caramelised taste but its OK. Keeping the current in-use tub in the fridge does reduce it separating after blending the oil back in.

Excellent product! Beautiful tasting smooth peanut butter. I eat a lot of peanut butter and this is the best product and deal that I've found. Lid is hard to get off but if you don't push it all the way on its still sealed and easier to undo. Will be ordering again soon!

Love it! unfortunately the price has been increased the last 2 years, quality to the last full spoon!

Defiantly one of the cheapest options for good quality peanut butter, great that it has no added sugar as well to keep the calories down. Was packaged well and didn't leak

The peanut butter was really nice and I will buy it again. The only problem was I struggled to open it

This was such a good purchase for what I was looking for - some extra protein/fat during my workout sessions. Even just as a snack, it does wonders (peanut butter and jam never grows old on me!). I think the taste is good, and the amount is enough (+ subscription) to know there's always enough! People pointed out how difficult it was to have opened, and I can agree with that. My method involved scissors and a spoon, and I think 10-15 minutes, so not something you can tuck into straight away. However, I'd much prefer knowing it was tightly secured, so worth the effort. I will say that the spread was too thick for over a month, for my liking. It started to turn soft, so a consistency that I liked, but I don't think that ruined my enjoyment (it just meant I couldn't easily spread/eat it directly.
