I was glad to find some Thai "green curry paste," since we've moved to an area with far fewer Asian products available.  In the past, I've had the powder ("phuket"), and frankly, I'd rather have it in that form.  One thing I thought was odd with this product is that it comes in a plastic bag, so you need to squeeze it out into the jar for storage.  The paste is really thick, so it's a minor chore.  I guess the plastic bag is more secure in shipping than if they covered the inner rim in plastic, like so many other companies do.
