Has anyone seen this product in any of the super Markets? I have only looked in Countdown but it may be somewhere else?

Yes, I was thinking that but I don't have a food processor to chop up the almonds. I looked at Google but would need one for my own recipe.

I will have another look at my local countdown. It may be in the 'specialty section'. Wish I had known it was at New World in Albany. Was just there yesterday. Thanks everyone! :)

Pics almond butter is available in a couple of places, but fairly limited quantities. Now their CASHEW butter is delicious, but you have to go to the factory in Nelson to get it. I buy every time I go down there.

I too have seen Almond Butter, along with other nut butters, in both Countdown and New World. Different supermarkets seem to have the products in different places but catz21 IMO the first place to look would be as you have suggested at #6 (in the 'specialty section') which I take it to mean where one would find GF and other alternative foods, then of course the next obvious place IMO would be where the peanut butters are and. I think that is where our local New World has its very good range of nut butters. Good luck, I'm sure you'll find it in one of the supermarkets and failing that, have you thought of trying your nearest health food shop? :-))

At Countdown, Pics almond butter is with their peanut butter. Ceres almond butter is in the health foods section. Quite pricey but delicious.

Well worth investing in a small processor to make your own nut butters. The one that I use is a stick blender which comes with a small processor bowl, great little machine.

What would you use almond butter for

Baking, or to have on toast or mix it into a smoothie, I love it spread on a banana.

I have one of those. Love it. Amazing what can be made in it as well. Brilliant.

In my Mediterrean cook book, says to spread it on celery and add raisins/walnuts as a snack. probably could use any low fat butter but wanted to give this one a go.

Yes, I agree, wouldn't be without mine, I use it more than my larger processor too.

It's works out much cheaper to make your own.

Which one do you have please ? I have one with my very old bamix but I don't think it is powerful enough to make almond butter. I do like the idea of making it in small quantities.

Large processor just sits around gathering dust here - little red one is my fav and in constant use. I have the stick one too which I've taken away with me with the various other accessories it came with. Both good but I'd particularly replace the mini one ASAP if it broke down. So handy and easy to clean too. :)

Hi eljayv, it's a Kambrook brand (link below for model). Not in the same league as the Bamix as it's only 250W but I've found it very good for a such a reasonably priced item. I've had it a number of years now and it's still going strong. http://www.kambrook.co.nz/essentials-stick-mixer.html

Yay. bought a jar yesterday. Nut Brothers. NZ made so that's good. Wasn't cheap but delish :)

Thanks Nauru, it is probably all I need my old Bamix is not in the league of the later ones being only 140w. :)) Guess it's time I updated a few items here

you can make your own just put some almonds in a food processor and turn on keep going until the nuts release their oil store in a sterilised jar
