Yes, it was condensed. At least that's what is says on the can. To me
it is recent. The last box we purchased at the wholesale club was
probably less than 2 months ago and I had to use a spatula like always
to remove the contents. Too bad. Cost wasn't really an issue. Well,
up to a point it wouldn't have been an issue. I can't even say what
it cost. It was something I always had on hand. Wouldn't have minded
paying a bit more for each can for the quality I'm used to. Wouldn't
buy this stuff again for any price.
