What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar on the spreads aisle or in a pantry, pulled out for school lunches, morning toast, or a quick snack between errands. It gives a wholesome, nostalgic and practical vibe — familiar peanut flavor with a simple, satisfying profile. The very short ingredient list and lack of emulsifiers or flavour additives indicate minimal industrial tweaking: texture is achieved by grinding roasted peanuts and adding olive oil, which points toward a processed (not ultra‑processed) product.
