Almond butter

Almonds from Europe are very aromatic and usually contain a proportion of bitter kernels. This cannot be ruled out 100 per cent, as both bitter and sweet almonds grow on the same tree and cannot be visually distinguished from each other. At Rapunzel, we only accept a proportion of one percent bitter almonds in our quality assurance, which is absolutely harmless to health. For this purpose, the raw goods are tested for bitter seed content and prussic acid at goods receipt. Only if all parameters are in order, are the almonds released for sale or further processing. If you want 100 per cent sweet kernels, please choose Californian almonds. They are guaranteed bitter-free.

Our nut butters consist of 100% of the respective nut. This means that only the respective nut, almond or oilseed is ground. We do not add any oil to the butters and use neither binders nor emulsifiers. The consistency is a sign of the naturalness of the product. The consistency of the butters depends on two factors. On the one hand, from the natural fluctuations of the raw material due to growth conditions in the harvest year. The fat content of the nuts plays a role here. On the other hand, the product freshness changes the consistency. Immediately after filling, the solid components of the nut and the nut's own oil are still well mixed, which makes the butters more liquid at first. In the course of storage, after about six months, the solid components in the jar sink to the bottom and the nut's own oil collects at the top. Please just stir in the oil.

Rapunzel nut butters are 100% pure nut butters. They are produced without emulsifiers and stabilisers. This is why the nut's own oil (approx. 10%) settles on the surface after filling. This is not possible in any other way due to production technology, as we do not use additives, such as fat or thickeners. You can stir the oil back into the nut butter with a fork, for example, or pour it off and use it as a high-quality salad oil. The oil settling testify to the purity of the product.

All nut butters can be stored in the fridge as well as in the larder. The consistency is firmer in the fridge. The nut butters generally keep for a very long time, even when opened. It is important to remove the butter with a clean spoon. The oil layer that forms over time acts like a protective layer.

Nut butters generally keep for a very long time, even when opened. It is important to remove the nut butters with a clean spoon and leave the oil layer that forms over time on the butter, as this acts as a barrier against the oxygen in the air. Then, simply stir before eating. Nut butter can be stored in the kitchen cupboard at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
