The topping is extremely light. Hardly noticeable and with age goes away completely. However, I still have detected it so I decided to add it in the review. I have also noticed that in certain batches the topping is much more noticeable than in others....which isn't that odd when dealing with GH&Co. They have so much lakeland snot on their machinery that some is bound to end up on all their products here or there![]()
