stale definitely not fresh [SEP] i was buying another brand and thought i would save a few dollars and try milliard first it is basically powdered i did not mind that as i add it to by bulletproof coffee but this cacao butter is not fresh the smell is not the same kind of light in smell and stale overall no matter how i used it it never tasted right or goodi would definitely stay away from this stale product is just a waste of money
