Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening - 24 oz (Pack of 3)

Tried this off a recommendation of this (or two other brands) by a cake artist that is kind of a guru at buttercream flowers (ABC) this stuff has no flavor, gives a beautiful creamy mouth feel without being oily or waxy. My buttercream has never been better. I wish I had found this stuff years ago. I do wish I could find it in much larger quantities like a 50lb or 100lb tub because using 5 containers feels like a lot of wasted plastic (I do recycle them). This is THE secret weapon for a beautiful crusting ABC that does not wilt or weep. Also it takes color very well (gel, powdered, or oil based all).

This is HANDS DOWN my favorite shortening to use. I use this when I make pies. Where I live the two local store that Carrie’s it have stopped carrying it. I have had to order it. I am hoping that it doesn’t end up a discontinued product. Because it really is the best one out there. I have tried other natural and non hydrogenated shortening but they just do not come close to spectrum. Even though it can be a pain to have to order online to get it I will keep ordering it. It doesn’t give my Crust a funny flavor. I get nice flaky crust every time I use it.

Love this, healthier and bakes great. Keep in freezer it will last well past expiration.

Product works ok for pie crust, if you reduce the amount of water. This shortening has more moisture than most shortening I have used.

This product is great for baking and an alternative to lard for healthy cooking.

The shortening came smashed. Shortening was leaking out.

Nothing I disliked, Use this for pie crust, cakes and cookies..also for sautéing in a cast iron skillet

This stuff is spectacular .. it is my go to shortening.. good 'healthier' substitute. Just make sure the expiration date is clear.. I have gotten some that are gritty.. and it is definitely date related

I LIKE IT. But not the price.
