Have you tried Vitos? Subtler smell but IMHO better performance (more consistent lathering). Worth consideration
How long did it last you before going off, and can it be frozen?
I'm on my first tub of Cella and it's been interesting reading through these old threads.
To date I've found it to be below both Vitos and La Saponeria Artigiana in terms of both ease of lathering and cushion. As I generally get the lather nearly there in the tub and finish on my face, today I scooped it out of the little red pot into something much bigger, which also gives a better opportunity for blooming.
As an aside, once you cut through the surface Cella from the tub is very soft, with a consistency similar to butter icing. I suspect that it is probably cured for less time than the blocks. This could also be the reason for it to go rancid occasionally due to water soaking in, as opposed to just sitting on the surface, which then alters the PH.
I always bloom either soap or croap..imho it help's to create a wonderful lather & a excellent pre wash from the bloom water before the shave.I had troubles with Cella until I began "blooming" it. Night & day difference IMO.
Cella, I've never looked back since the day I tired it, and just bought 1kg of the stuff to keep me going for a bit.
But I was wondering if there is something better out there that's similar? I think it's the coconut oil in the Cella that makes it such a good soap for me, someone who suffers from dry skin which can be exacerbated by some soaps.
Any suggestions?

Cheers,thanks for the update.According to the ingredients list printed on the bottom of the last 150ml tub I bought there are a couple more ingredients: Cocos Nucifera, Tallow, Stearic Acid, Water, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Carbonate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, Parfum (Fragrance).
Pleast note the there is no Tetrasodium EDTA listed on the 1kg block of Cella I bought more recently. The rest of the ingredients are the same as on the 150ml tub.
