Raw Organic Almond Butter
Artisana is the premier choice for nutrient density, using a unique stone-grinding process that keeps the almonds raw (under 115°F). This preserves the natural enzymes and delicate monounsaturated fats that are often degraded by high-heat commercial roasting.
Ingredients & Purity
100% Raw Organic California Almonds. No added oils, salts, or sweeteners. Stone-ground over several hours to achieve a unique creamy texture without heat.
Scientific Evidence
Certified Organic and R.A.W. Certified. While raw products have higher inherent risks, Artisana uses validated pathogen reduction steps that do not involve high heat.
Brand Transparency
Detailed information provided regarding their low-temperature grinding process and sourcing from organic family farms in California.
Value Assessment
Premium pricing reflects the labor-intensive stone-grinding process and the high cost of organic raw almonds. It is a 'functional food' investment rather than a commodity staple.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most almond butters (like Barney Butter or MaraNatha) use high-heat roasting and often include palm oil or cane sugar. Artisana is one of the few brands that successfully manages the food safety risks of raw nuts without compromising the raw nutritional profile.
