This is super good peanut butter with a perfect crunchy consistency. It tastes very rich with a deep flavor. I buy this regularly and absolutely love it. If you don't like the idea of oil separating out from the peanut, this is not for you. I buy this for health and taste, so I don't mind having to stir the heck out of it before putting it into the fridge. Some people just put the jar under their mixer and stir it on a low speed -if you did that, it would come out a similar consistency to how you get it from the health food store when you push the machine button and it turns peanuts into butter on the spot. I do it by hand, which will give you a good work out; however, you only need to do it once and then put in the fridge -it will remain mixed when it becomes cold. So, this product is not for people who want something that stirs easily and plan to slather on a slice of Wonder bread. In that case, if you don't mind sustainable organic palm oil, you can buy their no-stir version of the creamy or crunchy regular or dark roasted.
As long as you aren't going to blow a gasket at having to stir your pb and your main goal isn't to use it on soft bread, I highly recommend you buy it and try it. I'm doing keto... so I eat it by the spoonful or on a wasa cracker. Would be great to eat on celery, apples, in smoothies, in recipes, etc. If you want to be decadent, do like me and put a teaspoon atop two big squares of 90% Lindt dark chocolate and you have an instant keto Reese's pb cup that only cost you about 70 cents to make. To me, it tastes amazing. It is also very filling and I eat anywhere from one teaspoon up to two tablespoons a day most days. It keeps me from being hungry and is nutritious. : )
Now obviously, as a food stuff, "the best" is a matter of taste. So let me explain my taste. I like peanuts. I want peanut butter that tastes like peanuts. I live in peanut-producing country and when I can get fresh ones, I like to roast them myself, and I tend to roast them a shade on the darker side. I love a little toasty touch in the flavor. Santa Cruz Dark-Roasted has it.
What I DON'T want in my peanut butter is too much salt. I don't want ANY sugar or other sweeteners. I don't need any emulsifiers, and I sure cannot imagine why anyone would feel the need to add any other sorts of oils or fats to their peanut butter. Nor do you need preservatives. Peanut butter does fine in the pantry, but if you are a slow peanut butter eater, then stick it in the fridge and it will last as long as you need it to.
Is there a downside? Well, Santa Cruz has not had additives or treatments that keep the oils and solids from separating, so it needs to be stirred. So before you serve it the first time, get a good strong knife or small spoon and stick the jar in the sink and stir it as throughly as you can. Wipe the jar off and lick the spoon, and you're most likely good for the rest of time it takes to eat that jar of peanut butter. And you haven't eaten anything but organically grown peanuts and a hint of salt.
So why is it just NEAR-perfection and not all the way there? Well my taste would like roasted one more itty bitty shade darker. That would be truely perfect peanut butter.
Pro’s
-Organic and Non-GMO
-No added sugars, artificial ingredients or soybean oil
-Tastes great (I enjoy the dark, creamy roast but, order what is available).
-Easy to stir with a butter knife (recommend refrigerating after opening and stirring. This prevents the need to repetitively stir each time, avoids mess)
-Good price
Con’s:
-Major Con- I’ve noticed more oil and less peanuts this past year. Not a deal breaker but, poor business. Less ingredients for the same price. (Noticed because I typically pour off some oil before stirring, to reduce fat intake).
-As mentioned- I prefer and order the “dark creamy roast” (when available). When my order arrives, I don’t always get what I ordered. I order 3-4 jars of dark, creamy roast and instead, receive the crunchy or light roast. Not a deal breaker because I use them in my smoothies.
-Some jars have arrived with oil leakage. The seal is intact and the expiration date is good. Minor but worth mention.
Verdict: I will continue to order this brand, despite the Con’s. Hopefully, Amazon doesn’t discontinue this brand. The options are few for good, Organic PB.
