About this product
Roasted almonds, ground slowly and patiently, with a pinch of salt: that is this butter. It comes out pale tan, a little looser than peanut butter, and with a gentle, mellow sweetness that suits both breakfast and baking.
The flavour is softer and more rounded than you might expect, with a hint of marzipan on the finish. The texture is smooth with just a trace of grit from the almond skins, which gives it a pleasant, homely feel on the tongue.
Spread it on sourdough with sliced banana, swirl it through porridge, or whisk it into a dressing with lemon and a little water. It melts into brownies and gives cookies a rich, nutty background. A spoonful with a sliced apple is a very easy snack.
Because there are no stabilisers, a little oil may rise to the top of the jar, so stir before using. Looking to make your own? Our guide to homemade nut butter in a food processor shows how, and our raw almonds are a good place to start.
