Good!
I had my doubts before, but after using them for a while I also got used to the taste. Got to me well packaged and the quality is good.

MISLABELED! This is NOT True Molasses, it's Blackstrap.
The molasses used in baking is NOT Blackstrap molasses.The 16 fl oz plastic bottles are labeled "Organic Fair Trade Molasses" on the front (as though it were true molasses). Its ad claims it's perfect for cookies and glazes. It's NOT.There is no mention in the ad that this product is blackstrap molasses.The unhappy truth is on the back, under ingredients where it says "BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES." Also on the back is the "best by" date, which is December 12, 2025. Today's date is January 7, 2025. The "best by" date seems a bit soon to me.Regular, real molasses (the kind used in baking) is an entirely different product than blackstrap. The color of true molasses is lighter than black strap. This is a very dark brown color. It doesn't smell or taste like regular molasses.Real molasses is not as viscous (thick) as blackstrap molasses because it has a significantly higher moisture content. For this reason alone Blackstrap molasses can't be substituted for real molasses in recipes and get the same results. Cookies, for example won't be as moist. They will also taste different.Regular molasses has a significantly higher percentage of sugar and tastes different (sweeter and less bitter) than blackstrap molasses. Blackstrap molasses has a very different less sweet flavor with some bitterness to it. These are more reasons NOT to try to substitute blackstrap molasses for true molasses in, for example, baking. The finished baked goods might be edible but won't come out as intended, or taste as good.Blackstrap molasses is higher in minerals than true molasses but even with less sugar than true molasses it's very high in simple carbs. In my opinion marketing blackstrap molasses as a healthfood, which has become commonplace, may be profitable, but it denies the obvious downside of high sugar diets. There are other ways to get minerals in our diet.I would NEVER have purchased this if it had been properly labeled on the front as Blackstrap Molasses.Purchasers should be aware of the difference and that cooks who prize the outcome of their baking and understand the difference won't use blackstrap molasses in their cookies etc. They'll use real, true, molasses.One last thing. I ordered two bottles of this. One arrived in good condition. The safety seal was broken on the other and it was leaking.

This is GREAT blackstrap molasses!
The blackstrap molasses is great! I made a totally delicious batch of Molasses Cookies that we all love. I chose this product because it is the blackstrap variety of molasses and 1 tablespoon gives you 20% of the daily Iron we need.... and its very digestible. I put one tablespoon into a mug of boiling water. It dissolves quickly and turns it a lovely dark brown color. I add just a bit of almond milk and then drink it either hot or pour it over ice. Easy to drink, and a great source of the extra iron that I need to fight anemia. It also has a decent amount of calcium in just one tablespoon so thats a plus for those of us lactose intolerant. All around great product. Easy size container with which to work.

Organic Blackstrap molasses...tasty
Outstanding. This was my first experience with blackstrap molasses. I add a teaspoon to breakfast lunch and dinner to get a tablespoon over the day. I do not like sweet things and this has a perfect flavor and not too sweet. I dinged a star because of it being in plastic. But the good thing is that it will not possibly arrive broken as in glass.

Disappointing
One of the bottles was open and leaked all over during shipping. I tried to back some cookies using some and it didn’t give much flavor

Muffin enhancer
I had previously given up on muffins after becoming gluten sensitive, lactose intolerant and having to limit eggs. Recently started baking again. To add variety and intense flavor to my not-by-my-choice gluten-free vegan muffins, I add 2 TB to 1/4 cup molasses to the recipe while reducing or eliminating granulated cane sugar. These muffins also seem lighter.
