We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
If you love chunky peanut butter, NuttZo is a brand for you. When we first received product samples we thought, what a quirky product, the labels on the jars are upside down. This was intentional. All the ingredients are natural with no emulsifiers to prevent the natural oils from separating during storage. The inverted label is to encourage the grocer to shelve the nut butters on their lids, keeping the oil at the bottom of the jar. When you open the jar you are directed to stir the nut butter to mix in the oil and store it right side up. It never separates again – very clever packaging and marketing.
All three NuttZo Seven Nut and Seed Butters have no additives, preservatives or added sugar. They are USDA-certified organic, vegan, and kosher certified (OU). Because of the high nut and seed content, all NuttZo flavors are rich in health-promoting omega-3 fats

Each variety is excellent. They have a rich nutty flavor and a crunchy mouthfeel with a lot of chewing satisfaction. At first we thought the Chocolate flavor was somewhat gimmicky, but we were wrong. It was delicious, not overly sweet, and turned out to be a favorite. This brand is definitely worth a try.
