Ceres Organics Almond Butter 220g
Pure certified organic almond butter with nothing else added. Two ingredients: almonds and sea salt. No oil, no fillers, no sweeteners.
Ceres Organics Almond Butter is made from just two certified organic ingredients: almonds and sea salt. The almonds are lightly roasted and ground until smooth without adding any carrier oil - the natural oils in the almonds do all the work. The result is a rich, deeply nutty butter with a naturally creamy texture and an intense roasted almond flavour that commercial almond butters diluted with added oils don't deliver.
At $18.75 for 220g it's priced at the premium end of the almond butter category, and honestly placed there. Two-ingredient almond butter made from certified organic almonds without cutting costs with sunflower or palm oil is the right product for anyone who takes almond butter seriously.
BioGro certified organic and GE-free by Ceres Organics New Zealand.

How to use it
- Toast and bread: spread generously on sourdough or rye with sliced banana, honey, or jam for a classic combination
- Smoothies: a heaped tablespoon blended with oat milk, banana, and a pinch of cinnamon makes a genuinely filling breakfast
- Baking: use in cookies, banana bread, muffins, and bliss balls as a nut butter - the two-ingredient formula means no unexpected sweetness from added sugars in flavoured commercial versions
- Satay-style sauce: whisk with tamari, lime juice, ginger, and a little warm water for a simple noodle or salad dressing
- Dipping: with apple slices, celery, rice cakes, or sourdough crackers
- Porridge: stirred through warm oats with a drizzle of maple syrup
- Straight from the jar: because sometimes that is the correct choice
Storage
Store in a cool dry place. Natural oil separation is completely normal in a no-added-oil almond butter and is a sign of a genuinely pure product. Stir well before each use to reincorporate the oils. Refrigerate after opening to slow separation and maintain freshness, though the butter will firm up when cold - bring to room temperature or stir with a knife to loosen.

Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.

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. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture.
