I haven't tried it. They do sell it in the local supermarket but I've been
put off by all the reports of the smell. I know that it apparently tastes
great once you get past the smell, but I'm very sensitive to smells..

And, seeing my post in your reply I am bowing my head in shame. In my
defense it was very late when I posted, but I can't believe I wrote "it's"
aroma. Appalling! It should be "its".
