Never have. Never will. We firmly say no to Palm oil and other unnecessary ingredients.

No. Our focus as a grown-up nut butter company is to put little to no sweetener in our nut butters. Our sweetest flavor has less added sugar then the leading national brands. Turns out you don't have to add a bunch of  sugar when you start with high-quality and responsibly sourced ingredients.

Our nut butters have no added oils or stabilizers and will naturally seperate over time. Any oils you see on top of a jar are those that naturally exist in the nuts. Make sure to stir to the bottom of the jar to get all of the nut butter goodness!

Our Oregon Hazelnut Chocolate Spread uses cocoa butter, which is an ingredient used in making chocolate. With rapid temperature changes, sometimes a cocoa butter bloom occurs. Cocoa butter bloom looks like white crystals on top of the jar. While disconcerting, the white spots will easily melt  when microwaved for 30-60 seconds. Stir it together and enjoy! The jar is still  safe and delicious to eat. If you want to learn more about cocoa butter blooms, check out this wikipedia article which delves deeper into the science. 

Just email info@eliotsnutbutters.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Adding any order information, photos and any other pertinent details will help expedite the process. We're determined to make things right and make sure you always have a great experience with Eliot's. Quality and care doesn't just go into our products but also how we treat everyone from vendors, employees, and you, our awesome fans.
