OTOH, the type of cap on the bottle is differnt than most, and when you open it there seems to be kind of small version of the effect (sound, pressure) that you get when opening vacuum sealed products.I think I found out something that will work. I tried taking the bottle out of the fridge and running *mildly warm* water over it while I shook it-just long enough to get the solids to *dissolve*. Then I poured a teaspoon of oil out and put it back in the fridge. I think it will be OK. My fridge runs a little on the cold side-I sometimes get some ice crystals in cottage cheese (i.e.). I think I am just keeping it *too* cold.
