Consistency is thick and more natural than those available in the market. However, since this one is organic, expect that you can taste traces of sourness that a coconut product produces. Thus, I still put it in the refrigerator for storage even the label says that it doesn't need refrigeration.
about 1 year agoMy sister received this as a freebie and she gave it to me. It doesn't taste sweet like the regular coco jams in the supermarket. I agree with the others, it tastes like latik. Also, it doesn't taste good with all kinds of bread. It tastes better when used as a pandesal spread but a little weird when used in a loaf. In the end, this is a product that just grows on you as you continuously consume it. It's like a song that you're uncertain if you like it or not then suddenly you want to listen to it all the time. Since this is a healthy alternative to the regular sugar saturated coco jams and since I've grown to love it, I'll buy some more. Give it a try.
over 1 year agoThis product is definitely natural from the smell, texture and taste. Perfect with bread and coffee in the morning. :) It taste a little too sweet for me but Its still good. The taste and texture of this product reminds me of my childhood for some reasons hehehe. I highly recommend this for people looking for native like, natural sweetness.
over 1 year agoI was never a fan of coco jam. I find the smell a bit weird. So the first time I got to try this from BeautyMNL. First time I've tried this, I thought about suman or biko and something you put as a filling or on top of it. So I like that because I don't really know how to make that. At first I just ate this on its own for my sugar craving. It was good. I just ate it on its own. I could taste the salt also and I like that. The only thing is, I don't like it with bread. I prefer to have this on maybe rice cake or suman. Not bread though. It tastes weird for me.
over 1 year agoUnlike the typical coco jam, this has a creamy texture (not sticky) so it's really spreadable. The sea salt makes a difference in the spread - it's give that warm almost caramel flavor into the coco jam. It's not sweet but if you like salted caramel this might be a "local" alternative. I would say that it's not the best partner with regular white bread but this is great for suman or puto.
over 1 year agoI agree with the other reviewer here that it tastes like latik; that was also my first thought when I tasted this for the first time. The consistency is thick and dense but easily spreadable. It's not too sweet because of the sea salt. I noticed a slight tangy taste, probably because they used coconut nectar instead of sugar. This is a good coco jam alternative for those who need to control their sugar. Though honestly, I personally prefer the sweeter - albeit less healthy - ones.
