Krema All Natural Peanut Butter Review & Giveaway

Tyler has been known to eat spoonfuls of peanut butter right from the jar.

I, on the other hand, enjoy nut butters on sliced apples as a mid day snack-a-roo.

I recently received a box full of nut butters from Krema which is a company that makes all-natural peanut butter.

“Established in 1898, Krema has been satisfying the discriminating tastes of peanut butter lovers for over 100 years. Our commitment to quality, value and old fashion values helps keep our customers coming back. The Krema Peanut Butter Company is one of the oldest peanut butter companies in the United States today. We still make our peanut butter the time honored way using only top quality peanuts, a special dry roasting process and unique fine grinding for the perfect natural peanut butter!

Many of our customers rely on our peanut butter as a staple of their diets. With no salt, sugar or hydrogenated vegetable oils added, Krema Peanut Butter is the perfect “health food”! In addition, our local hospital recommends all their patients with heart related problems to eat our peanut butter.”

I was sent 5 varieties of Krema‘s nut butters to facilitate this review. My favorites were the Hot & Spicy Peanut Butter and the Almond Butter. Their Hot & Spicy is a different spin on peanut butter that I’m not used to. It had a unique spiciness without being too hot. The Almond Butter was packed full of almond taste, which I love.

All-natural peanut butter is different and has a different consistency than other brands that you may be used to. You have to stir it up before using because the nut oils float to the top of the butter.  If you aren’t used to all-natural butters, it is very oily and runny so you have got to mix it well. Krema’s website even has stirring tips to help you out.
