Creamy Roasted Almond Butter
Georgia Grinders focuses on small-batch production using high-quality California almonds and a touch of sea salt. Their slow-roasting process creates a superior flavor profile without the need for the sugars or stabilizers found in mass-market almond butters.
Quality & Materials
California Grown Almonds and Sea Salt. No added oils or sugars. They prioritize the 'Mission' variety almond for its superior roasting characteristics.
Evidence & Testing
Produced in a dedicated facility; non-GMO and Kosher. They rely on traditional roasting techniques rather than chemical processing.
Brand Transparency
Family-owned and operated with clear labeling. While they don't publish COAs online, they are highly responsive regarding their sourcing and batch-testing for quality.
Value Assessment
Mid-to-high price point. The value lies in the artisanal texture and the elimination of the industrial additives found in $8-10 grocery store jars.
Why Not Alternatives?
Beats mass-market brands by excluding palm oil and using 'Mission' variety almonds which have a naturally sweeter, richer taste. Unlike 'no-stir' brands, they don't use emulsifiers, which can be disruptive to gut health.
