Peeled Almond Paste BIO - 100%

Produced in Poland in Cikowice near Krakow

We avoid large, impersonal factories. We are 100% independent, creating our true organic almond butter on our own terms. We produce our blanched almond butter in Poland, specifically in Cikowice near Krakow. We roast, blend, and package it for you with care, taking full responsibility for the entire production process. We have a large oven where the almonds spend exactly as much time as needed to extract maximum flavor.

You'll recognize our blanched almond cream by its blue label, placed on what we believe is the perfect packaging – a glass jar. Glass brilliantly protects food, makes it easy to scoop out every last spoonful, and is also recyclable and reusable. We think ecologically! Inside, you'll find our greatest pride: a maximally simple ingredient list. 100% blended almonds. Zero added sugar, salt, flavors, colorings, palm oil, or preservatives. The almonds we use are not sulfured in any way. Our butter tastes exactly as nature intended, always yummy!

Almonds from a special place. Spanish Valencia

We don't make our butter from just any nuts. We source only the highest quality almonds from Valencia, Spain. Why there, when the market is overflowing with cheap raw materials from the USA? Because the difference is huge! Spanish almonds are naturally much sweeter, more buttery in flavor, and don't have that cardboard note often found in Californian mass-produced varieties. But better taste is only one side of the coin. Choosing Spain is our fully conscious ecological decision. California has gigantic, industrial crops that drain water in drought-stricken areas and significantly disrupt local ecosystems. Spanish orchards are managed sustainably, with respect for nature. Better taste and a relief for the planet – with us, you get both in one jar.

This is not a cheap marketing gimmick, but our distinctive feature, which many market giants lack. Because we play with open cards, we don't ask you to take our word for it.

Thoroughly tested. You eat (and feed your children) with peace of mind

Almonds can be temperamental, and poor storage on plantations can attract unwanted guests. At Ekogram, you won't find a pig in a poke! We test our butters in every possible way so that you can eat them straight from the jar with complete peace of mind. Our blanched almond butter has been tested by an independent, accredited laboratory. We tested it for heavy metal content, ochratoxin A, as well as aflatoxins B₁, B₂, G₁ and G₂. We also commissioned tests for the presence of salmonella, yeast, and mold. The results? Perfect. The product is pure and 100% safe. You can find the full test results here - [Laboratory tests]

Delicacy in a jar. What's the difference between light and brown butter?

Thinking of almonds, you might immediately taste delicious, crunchy nuts on your palate... Imagine that same essence now encapsulated in a smooth, creamy mass. That's Ekogram's blanched almond butter! When looking for similar products, you'll mainly encounter two varieties: white and brown. Wondering about the differences? Let us explain!

Production process and appearance: Light almond butter has a creamy color. We make it from blanched almonds – previously roasted and peeled of their brown skin. Brown almond butter is darker because we blend it from whole almonds, including the skin.

Taste and texture: White butter has a super-delicate texture and a very subtle, naturally sweet taste. It is velvety and smooth. Brown, on the other hand, has a more intense, nutty character, and due to the ground skin, you'll feel a slightly grainy texture in it.

Nutritional value: Both types of butter provide our bodies with essential minerals, full of protein and healthy fats. Brown butter, thanks to the retained skin, has a bit more fiber. In almonds, you'll find as many as 10 minerals: calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium.

The final decision depends entirely on your palate. Looking for a mild addition to desserts? Go for white! Prefer a nutty-almond kick? Choose brown. Or even better, try both!

Oil on top? That's not a flaw! It's proof of 100% natural ingredients

You open the jar, and there's a layer of oil on top? Great! That's not a defect at all. It's physical proof that our butter is made from blended almonds and nothing else. We don't add any extra ingredients (like palm oil) or chemical emulsifiers that would keep everything together in a solid mass. The separation of the butter is a completely natural process. Before you start eating, put a long spoon into the jar and stir vigorously until the butter returns to its ideal, smooth consistency.

Briefly about storage: Our butter has a shelf life of a full 12 months from the production date. How should you store it? Definitely at room temperature, both before and after opening! The refrigerator will cause the natural fats to solidify and the butter to become a bit thicker. A kitchen cabinet will be ideal.

Peanuts versus almonds

Standing in front of the cupboard, wondering: classic peanut butter or our almond butter? Time for a little botanical curiosity! Peanuts are actually... legumes, related to peas or beans. An almond, on the other hand, is a noble seed from inside a drupe fruit. What does this change in the kitchen? Almond butter is much milder and doesn't dominate the dish with its flavor as much as peanut butter.

Did you know...? The almond tree belongs to the rose family, meaning it is a very close cousin of peaches, apricots, and cherries. That's why almonds pair so well with fruits and homemade jams!
