Has anyone here purchased Shea butter from Crabapples?

I just got an order that I purchased like a week ago from Crabapplesoap.com for some Shea Butter. I got 1lb for about $8, i'm about to mix it up to make my moisturizer. I've been using this little container I bought from Whole Foods by Organic Essence and the Shea butter is white in color and doesn't have a strong odor. But this new one that I bought is some what yellow (which I hear is normal for Shea butter) but overall the smell is kinda pungent a little like a strong coco butter smell. Is this normal? I posted some pics of the difference....

Yep- totally normal. That's the unrefined version. Its the best IMO. I worry if its not a little yellow or nutty smelling.

Thank-you pandora!! I mixed it up and noticed that it is a lot thicker than the one I bought from Whole Foods and leaves my hair a lot softer.
