- Wonderful traditional Mexican treat!
I couldn't believe I found the traditional glass jar! I grew up in Mexico, and a few years back, Coronado switched to squeezable bottles. Unfortunately, this means they also thinned the cajeta out to make it "squeezable"... also, plastic bottles just didn't feel the same to me.

- good service
some initial problems with shipping...seems to have been some miscommunication between Amazon and the seller. They did not have the item in stock and yet it was still being sold on Amazon without any warning. I called their number and the person I spoke with was very friendly. However, the product is quite good.
