Cortas - Pickled Eggplant in Oil, Makdous, 36 Oz (1000 G)

**** The reception of this product has shown a strong polarization among customers. Many enthusiasts regard this Makdous as one of the best they've ever tasted, praising its quality, unique flavor, and a balanced amount of heat that elevates the overall experience. However, this high regard is tempered by significant issues regarding product integrity upon delivery. Several customers reported problems with jar sealing, leading to oil spillage, which raised concerns about the safety and quality of the product. Fluctuations in temperature during shipping may have compromised the oil's freshness, with one customer noting that the soybean oil used could turn rancid much quicker than expected. Disturbingly, some customers received jars that either were damaged upon arrival or exhibited signs of prior tampering, such as broken seals and significant oil leakage. On the positive side, those who managed to enjoy the product ultimately found it to be worthwhile. Many emphasized that despite the inconveniences faced when trying to access the product, the taste made the effort worth it. The company seems to have a loyal following amongst certain Consumers, driven by the quality of the recipe itself. Nevertheless, the lack of adequate customer service in resolving issues related to refunds and returns has left some feeling frustrated. In summary, while the Makdous itself garners acclaim for its flavor, the product handling and customer service experience significantly detract from its reputation. **
