We use only the best ingredients from around the world to produce our natural nut butters:
Forty Thieves offers a number of wholesome nut butters that contain 100% whole nuts. This includes:
Yes, when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, nuts and seeds offer a range of nutritional benefits. These include heart healthy fats, protein, fibre, minerals and vitamins. Our nut butters are made with no or little sugar, no added oils, no preservatives, emulsifiers or additives and a minimum of 68% whole nuts. We also offer a number of of nut butters that are 100% pure nuts.
Our “smooth” nut butters like Peanut Butter Not-Too-Smooth or Almond Butter Not-Too-Smooth are what we call a ‘textured’ smooth. We have perfected a bespoke grind that’s not super sticky.
Our crunchy nut butters are extremely crunchy! We’ve made sure that our crunchy nut butters are packed with crunchy pieces while still being smooth enough to spread on toast.
We recommend storing your nut butter in a cool, dry place (such as your pantry.) and to stir regularly.
Our products have a recommended shelf-life of 12-14 months from date of production.
Because we don’t use preservatives or emulsifiers, if our nut butters are left untouched (or forgotten in pantry!) for many months the oils will naturally rise to the top.
We use fresh premium peanuts for our Peanut Butter and test for aflatoxins at least once per month. We have never had a test come back with traces of aflatoxins.
At Forty Thieves, we do not add emulsifiers to our nut butters as we prefer a more natural product. If oils have risen to the top of the jar, simply take a knife and stir for 30 seconds.
The cacao butter (which is white in colour) sometimes separates from the chocolate and rises to the top of the jar forming some pretty funky shapes! This naturally occurring phenomenon is called ‘fat bloom’ and happens when it’s cold. If cacao butter has risen to the top of your jar, simply take a knife and stir for 30 seconds. If your home is cold, you may need to place your jar in a bowl of hot water to melt before stirring.
Yes, all of our nut butter products are 100% plant-based / vegan and dairy-free.
Although not certifiably ‘gluten-free’; all ingredients used are gluten-free, and no additional gluten is present in our production facilities or process.
None of our products contain palm-oil. This includs our Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, Chocolate SuperFood Butter and our Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter.
You’ll often hear us say that our nut butters are “Naturally Packed with Hidden Gems” – Mother Nature’s gems that is! We like to think of the abundance of minerals, vitamins and other healthy properties present in natural superfoods as ‘Hidden Gems’. These include protein, heart-healthy fats, fibre, Selenium, heart-healthy fats, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Calcium, Phosphorus, as well as Vitamin B and E to name a few.
