The white fatty flecks that make it look more like ground beef is coconut oil and cocoa butter.

I think coconut oil is somewhat like cilantro, in that certain people get a soap like taste from it, based on some kind of genetic trait.

Though it does have less aldehydes than some other types of oils, which goes against my theory. It does, however, have a fair amount of decanal, one of the aldehydes in cilantro.

Would "soap like" describe the unpleasant flavor at all?
