SO Organic Australian Peanut Butter 1kg
Most peanut butter has a longer ingredient list than it should. Palm oil to stop it separating. Added sugar to make it sweeter. Salt, stabilisers, emulsifiers. Sometimes less than 90% actual peanuts.
This one has one ingredient: organic Australian peanuts.
That's it. We grind them ourselves in-store at Santos using a Durst peanut butter mill — peanuts go in one end, peanut butter comes out the other, straight into the jar. No heat treatment, no additives, no stabilisers, nothing added at any point in the process. What you get is pure, fresh-ground peanut butter with a rich, roasted flavour and a natural texture that no commercial product quite matches.
The peanuts are Australian-grown and ACO certified organic, which means no synthetic pesticides, no herbicides, and no chemical fertilisers. Peanuts grow underground and absorb whatever is in the soil around them - which makes organic certification genuinely meaningful for this crop in a way it isn't for everything.
Because there are no stabilisers, the natural oils will separate and rise to the top. This is completely normal and a good sign. Stir before use and store in the fridge after opening to keep it fresh and slow the separation.
How to use it: on toast, stirred into porridge, blended into smoothies, as the base of a satay sauce, mixed into salad dressings, eaten straight from the jar with a spoon. It also freezes well - portion it into an ice cube tray for smoothie-ready serves.

We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.
Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers.
