    Where can I get that?
    And how much?

    http://www.mayvers.com.au/pantry/ click on the Where to Buy tab on the right. All the big Supermarkets in Melbourne have them. All the ones I'v tried have been lovely, except the Tahini. Not too costly either. $6 for the big tubs of PB and $7 for the smaller tubs with nuts and seeds.

    Can't get it in Ireland, but the freshly made peanut butter in Whole Foods is amazing.

    Of stuff that's a little more easily acquired - Kelkin or Meridian crunchy. Has to be the natural/organic ones.

    It's lists Coles, I must keep pan eye out. I usually go for the cheap Coles own brand peanut butter,because it's a higher peanut content than most of the other brands (excluding the 100% nut stuff)

    no one has mentioned Whole Earth? Lovely stuf (maybe its not on sale in Ireland anymore?) Gonna be back home at the weekend, il pick up a jar of Kelkin to try.
    Both whole earth & kelkin use palm oil.

    Whole earth smooth is Roasted Peanuts (91%),Palm Oil ,Sea Salt

    salt is 0.9% so it is 8% palm oil, which some might have an issue with that, or think its a benefit.

    Palm oil is solid at room temp and this is why it is not all runny like the meridian.

    Cashew nut butter is usually very expensive here, you could liquidise them and make your own. You could add coconut oil if your butters are too runny, it will also be solid at room temp.

    Isn't salt content not a big issue if you eat very little processed food?

    I don't worry about it, I drink lots of water anyway. I meant people might have an issue with the relatively high palm oil content. Be it health concerns or environmental.

    Whole Earth Crunchy Organic (no added sugar) does it for me. Love the stuff.

    Hopsack make their peanut butter on the spot - tasty, smooth (almost fluffy) and best value of any natural peanut butter anywhere

    Wow, that sounds great!
    Hopsack as in the shop in Rathmines Swan Centre?

    I know this isn't what you asked, but I bought hazelnut butter recently, and it's quite nice too- not as strong a taste as pnb, so maybe that would be a better swap!!

    Amazing with some cocoa powder mixed in

    I admit I use Panda peanut butter... I've tried that tub one nothing added before, and can't stand it
    I only put it in stir fries really anyway

    Hopsack in Rathmines
    NOTHING ADDED PB done in the shop, they'd make a jar for you if sold out (once got the jars warm!)
    250g for €2.59 which for 100% organic nothing added is great price
    Once you try this one, you'll never go back

    I've tried Almond butter but it's a bit "meh" for me.
    I like crunchy peanut butter, not mad on the smooth stuff.
    Whole Earth is nice, the Lidl MacKennedy brand sticks to the teeth a bit too much.

    Aldi Grandessa (labelled gluten free too) is around €1.05 for 340g jar, must be one of the cheapest.
    Kelkin currently have an offer 454g for the price of 350g.

    Meridian's website boast that they don't use Palm Oil - is Palm oil bad?
    Meridian peanut butter crunchy 100% 280g "Peanuts are roasted in their natural skins before being ground to a crunchy texture with nothing added. Contains naturally occurring sugar. " Ingredients:
    Peanuts Whole Skin On (100%). Produce of more than one country


    Which of these peanut butters is healthier?
    Kelkin Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts 97.7%, Palm Oil 1.3%, Sea Salt.
    -or-
    Aldi Grandessa Crunchy Peanut Butter Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts 95%, Brown Cane Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Sea Salt.
    Kelkin uses Palm oil but Aldi Grandessa has sugar added.

    Don't think it's bad for you per se, but I've seen stuff about deforestation and orangutang deaths due to palm oil farming. Probably something to do with that.

    Finally got round to getting this PB in Rathmines - man, it's gorgeous (and good value).
