QUOTE(jeyakumar @ Apr 25 2020, 12:47 AM) It was bad when I tried crunchy. I wrote a detailed review here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4925034 Just close it down.People told me I was wrong and that I should try again. So I tried 1 bottle of creamy and surprisingly it was acceptable. Please understand that I'm not saying it was good, I'm not saying that it is tasty. This is pure peanut butter so obviously it is going to be flat flat just peanut taste. I can accept that but I can't accept it is liquid like peanut sauce because that seems like something went wrong with how they roasted it and they had to do something to make it blend during the melangeur stage. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ordered a lot of creamy peanut butter during the first few days of MCO due to panic buying as the stores near me all had no more peanut butter. The first batch of 5 bottles was fine. But yesterday I started on the 6th bottle and I'm not happy. This bottle was again a bit liquidy. Not terrible like the crunchy one. But just liquidy enough that I was feeling annoyed. Anyway, I mix it myself with pure cocoa powder to make my own choco-peanut butter and since my cocoa powder is so dry, it makes it nice and solid so it turned out okay. I also make my own peanut gianduja by mixing with 58% dark chocolate. That was also tasty and nice. So I wouldn't call their product great but okaylah, acceptable. That said, at the time, I didn't know that Tesco had their own brand of pure peanut butter that is like almost half the price of Jobbie. So if you ask me today, I would buy Tesco's pure peanut butter. However, apparently that is out of stock also. That's my 2 sen. Full disclosure: as I said I bought too much during MCO so I have some bottles of Jobbie for sale. https://my.carousell.com/kjayakumar/ Bankruptcy VS Closing down are two different thing. Buyers are exploited. Thats it. |

A lot of companies file bankruptcy protection as a final lifeline for the business.Bankruptcy VS Closing down are two different thing. Buyers are exploited. Thats it. But once you close shop, that's the end of your business. |

It's just sad to see such potential local brand ruined by the founders themselves. Whats the point of pulling out such lousy stunt? Yes, they might have gained some good profits out of it. But all these for such short term gains? Really?
Only if they didn't pull out such revolting marketing strategy in such crisis that we all are facing now, this brand could really go far. The numb but CEO should be held liable too for such unintelligent show. Bought two jars from them last time (was scammed by then too) and those are the last I'd ever buy. |

QUOTE(rubrubrub @ Apr 25 2020, 07:46 PM) its proper peanut butter actually, unlike others thats very solid kindbut most people like to sell "real" stuff with premium price so your mileage vary if you want how real peanut butter is, versus those cheaper but mixed with all sorts |

QUOTE(rubrubrub @ Apr 25 2020, 07:46 PM) I'm not sure. I've never seen any concrete proof or scientist confirmation about it. But I'm pretty sure 100% pure raw peanut butter roasted using the minimum amount of additional peanut oil will not have that much oil floating at the top.I mean, the Jobbie bottle I just opened 2 days ago had something like 1 inch of oil. Maybe even 1.5 inch of oil floating. Honestly, I was so angry because the other bottles didn't have like that. When I mixed it very thoroughly, meaning I spend 5 mins really gobek it with a fork almost like a hand blender, okay the content became less liquid but man, if you told me it is peanut sauce, I would say, yeah, that looks like peanut sauce. The previous bottles I opened are much more solid so I feel like sometimes they get something wrong with their roasting process so their output is not consistent. That's my current opinion and I unfortunately (or maybe fortunately depending on what happen with MCO) have 10 more bottles to finish. Hopefully will be more solid than liquid.
