Poor scent

I have regularly used unrefined shea butter over the years. I use it in balms and also plain. This most recent purchase smelled terrible- like a mouldy old tree. I can't use it plain or in my balms as I don't use essential oils or fragrance. I was really disappointed with this particular purchase.
