All 3 of my jars seem have large sections of a dark, clumpy, gritty mixture. Is this normal?

Hi Doug,It seems to be normal. The butter seems to separate out and the clumps appear to be concentrated ground almond. (Try Barney Butter sometime - much better!)

No definitely not! My jars have never looked like that. It will get thick from being in the refrigerator and it will seem gritty when thick but stirring resolves that! But no dark clumps of any kind! Hope that helps!

I have noticed that too, but I'm quite sure it's because it has had time to settle, and the heavier part of the almond butter with the small pieces of nut go to the bottom. Once you stir it up and the tiny pieces get incorporated well into the rest of it, it looks perfectly normal and tastes fine.

I have had that happen before, in different brands of almond butter. It just requires some stirring to mix it up.

My last shipment was the same too. There was no difference in the taste. I stirred it up and used as normal. I would imagine this is not atypical given that there is nothing other than almonds in the container.

Gritty, possibly yes, if you are not accustomed to almond butter with no additives. But dark clumps are not something I ever experienced with this brand. The crunch almond butter is more "clumpy" than the smooth, but stirring resolves that. In my experience, a little oil accumulates at the top and needs to be stirred vigorously down to the bottom of the container. This is actually quite hard work, b/c the product is very thick/rich.

There is a gritty texture. I need to continue to stir it while consuming the product.

If you mean the burrs, just look down into it and see if it looks sort of oily and black. A trick to cleaning it out is to use "Minute rice", not uncooked regular rice, use about 1/4 cup +/-, grind it and it will clean out the burrs. Then run a small amount of beans through it and it's clean. I wouldn't get too crazy about it, maybe every week or 2 depending on how much it's used. You didn't say anything about the static problem, I haven't found a good fix for that yet but did call the company and was basically told all grinders have the static problem but in my opinion the plastic ones more that the metal ones. I' going to try a "Zerostat", used to remove static on vinyl records, 60's sort of stuff, they shoot out a stream of negative ions (really, not bunk), which should solve the problem. Too much information? Haha!

They stack fine in my canning pantry although many of the jars I gave away with wild blackberry jelly in them so I haven't many left.So its not like I have 2 dozen jars stacked up.

Possibly it got contaminated either by dipping out of it with a utensil that was not completely clean, or if you left it open or didn't close it tightly after each use. My ghee from this company hasn't had that problem at all and it can take me up to a month or more to use a jar. I don't refrigerate it, and I have never had that happen.

I haven't had a problem, you can always just carefully tip the jar to the side to scoop out what's on the bottom. But I love this jar. I have the whole set

I don't know. I finished both my containers and disposed of them. If you already have bought it and cannot find the info on the container, then just go by how fresh it is. I had no problem with freshness.

no I haven't experienced those issues. Perhaps the poor seal is to blame, I would return and try another shipment.

When I purchased them it was I can't speak for now. Hope this is of some help to you. I liked the jars and they were of good quality. They were packaged well and none were broken.

Mine wasn't sealed. And the face mud like you would buy from glamglow wasn't even the same. The jar that I recieved wasn't even filled completely.

I've never had that problem. Do you run lots of cold water through them before you use them for the first time? When I open a new one, I run cold water through it and lots of black stuff comes out. I assume there is charcoal inside and its charcoal dust.

It should not feel gritty at all. I'm guessing you must have a bad batch (never happened to me before). Contact the seller right away!!

Just got my first 3 jars few weeks ago....yes VERY runny even after lot of stiring, but NOT OILY and taste great...here is how to get around the soupy constancy....after mixing a new Jar just STORE IT IN THE FRIG !!!! this thickens it up like store bought brands

It must not have sealed well. Maybe you could contact the seller and get a replacement just to be sure. I wouldn't think it would be bad, unless it smells bad. I've ordered 2 jars but not had that problem. I always remove the blue outer wrapping and just have an unmarked jar sitting by the stove.

It sounds like a bad batch. I've been using product for a while & without issues.

Yikes, jojoba oil shouldn't have anything in it! Your bottle may have been contaminated with mold spores. The packaging was likely very warm during shipment--perfect growing conditions for mildew. Unfortunately the oil isn't good anymore. I'd suggest getting a refund/replacement.
