Ceres Organics Cashew Butter 220g
Pure certified organic cashew butter with nothing else added. Two ingredients: cashews and sea salt. No oil, no fillers, no sweeteners - just the naturally sweet, creamy flavour of cashews.
Ceres Organics Cashew Butter is made from just two certified organic ingredients: cashews and sea salt. The cashews are lightly roasted and ground until smooth without adding any carrier oil. Cashews are naturally higher in fat than most nuts and softer in texture, which makes them the easiest nut to grind into a completely smooth, creamy butter without oil assistance. The result is one of the creamiest, most spreadable nut butters available, with a gentle sweetness and a much milder, more delicate flavour than almond or peanut butter.
If you're introducing nut butter to children or anyone who finds stronger nut flavours too intense, cashew butter is the place to start. It's also the most versatile in cooking - its mild, slightly sweet flavour disappears into sauces, smoothies, and baking without asserting itself, which is exactly what you want in a recipe ingredient.

How to use it
Cashew butter's mild sweetness and ultra-smooth texture make it the most versatile nut butter in the kitchen:
- Toast and bread: spread generously on sourdough, rice cakes, or banana bread - works beautifully with sliced banana, honey, or a drizzle of maple syrup
- Smoothies: blends completely smooth into any smoothie without the grittiness sometimes associated with almond butter - particularly good with banana, oat milk, and vanilla
- Asian-style sauces: the mild flavour makes it an excellent base for satay and noodle sauces - whisk with tamari, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and warm water
- Baking: use in cookies, bliss balls, raw cheesecakes, and energy bars where you want creamy binding without a pronounced nut flavour
- Raw desserts: the neutral sweetness makes it perfect for raw cheesecake bases, chocolate truffles, and caramel-style fillings
- Pasta sauces: stir through warm pasta with tamari, garlic, and a splash of pasta water for a quick weeknight sauce
- Dipping: with apple slices, celery, rice cakes, or sourdough crackers
Storage
Store in a cool dry place. Natural oil separation may occur - this is normal in a no-added-oil nut butter. Cashew butter typically separates less than almond butter due to the naturally higher fat content of cashews. Stir well before each use to reincorporate. Refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness, though the butter will firm slightly when cold.
