Meridian Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread 1kg Twin Pack (2 x 1kg Tubs) - Vegan, Free From Palm Oil, Made With 100% Nuts, Family Value Pack

Meridian Crunchy Peanut Butter is everything it promises to be. Literally crunchy peanut butter with absolutely nothing added. No salt and no palm oil. It is unlike every other peanut butter out there. Even though there is no added salt or sugar it is mot lacking any flavour due to their omission. I consider it to be the most flavoursome peanut butter available. When you remove the lid for the first time, you will most likely encounter a pool of oil on top of the nut butter. Don’t let this put you off. As they state on the tub: “Stir and enjoy”! The oil naturally separates out from the nut butter over time because Meridian do not add palm oil which would act as a stabiliser and stop the oil separating. However, palm oil would also alter the taste of the product and by not using it Meridian are helping to the reduce demand for this oil and doing their bit to slow the invasive monoculture of the palm oil plantations currently taking over the forests of Indonesia. Having gently stirred the the oil back in you are rewarded with a rich brown lumpy tub of deliciousness, much more appealing than the insipid yellowy tan colour of most peanut butters. It is a somewhat gloopy, lumpy product which does not spread so easily as the competitors concoctions, but it is not too difficult either and is so much more satisfying. So, what are you waiting for? Buy it!

Meridian peanut butter has only one ingredient. Peanuts. No Palm oil. No salt. No sugar (which is routinely added to lower quality and cheaper brands). Just lovely peanuts. Tasty, nutritious, and versatile (a lot of mine goes into peanut sauces). Literally the best peanut butter. And this supplier is substantially cheaper than my local supermarket.

Like any other natural/organic peanut butters this needs a stir upon opening. I find regular stirs to mix the peanut oil every few days or so helps too. Really tasty, lots of peanut chunks, crunchy as described. Excellent value for money too. Even a full tub this size doesn’t last long in my household!

I buy these big tubs as I get through a lot of peanut butter - mostly as a treat for the dog (she can have this brand as there are no additives of any kind - it's 100% peanut). The peanut butter is certainly crunchy, there are some very big bits of peanut in there so if you're looking for something to spread this may not be the easiest as it'll rip bread or toast to pieces! The peanut butter also tends to separate (as there are no additionla ingredients added to prevent this) - just needs a good stir to mix the oil back in. All in all very happy with this brand of peanut butter and the big tubs are much better than having to buy lots of smaller ones. I'll be buying more for certain.

Nice 100 percent peanut butter with no rainforest destroying palm oil! As there is no palm oil it does tent to settle out a little but a good stir returns it's consistency a little is better than no rainforests & it's better for you. Every little bit helps & if it tastes good too where's the problem.

It’s really crunchy (not smooth with a few bits in it like some others), with a great taste. Each batch can be slightly different. Occasionally, if you’re lucky, you can get a slightly “high roast “ batch.

Yummy,without added sugar and palm oil,just natural peanuts with its natural oil

I've been buying this for years. Crunchy is the way to go. To add even more to the experience chop up other nuts ( walnuts pecans etc) and mix them in. You then have your own bespoke supply.
