We made our first batches of Almond Butter in 2014, just as the world started going almond crazy.
Today’s there’s almond milk, almond cheese, almond shampoo, almond sausages, and goodness knows what else. We’re not saying it’s a trend we started, but we are now helping make almonds hard to get and really expensive.
Pic’s Almond Butter contains only almonds, not even a bit of salt to make them go further. We could make ourselves useful by not buying almonds at all, but the little bit of almond butter we made built up such a following that we’ve had to buy all the South Australian almonds we can get our hands-on. Unfortunately, that’s not very much, so if you spot a jar of Pic’s Almond Butter, buy it. It’s rare and it’s absolutely delicious.

The cashew is a peculiar nut. It grows wild in steamy tropical jungles, dangling from the bottom of a fruit, encased in a nasty toxic shell that is used for making drain cleaners and the like. It roasts and squashes relatively easily and produces a softly textured butter with a slightly sweet flavour. We don’t add anything to our cashew butter and we recommend you keep it on the top shelf away from the kids. It’s more than just moreish and just a teaspoon of it squashes that voice in your head that demands sweet satisfaction.
