Almond ButterAlmond butter is probably the second most popular nut butter worldwide, right after peanut butter. And for good reason: this creamy spread made from lightly roasted almonds has a bold, nutty flavor that enhances anything you pair it with—your morning porridge, a slice of bread, a smoothie, or even your index finger. As with all our products, this almond butter is made from premium-quality ingredients with no additives. Our goal in developing this product was to meet the standards of the "clean eating" approach we also follow. We created a spread that fits easily into most diets and eating habits. We recommend it to anyone who, like us, values mindful eating and natural ingredients. If you're aiming to return to simple, high-quality, and minimally processed foods to build a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle—or if you simply prefer premium gourmet ingredients over mass-produced ones—this is for you.

Description
This was the very first nut butter we made in our workshop, and after peanut butter, it is perhaps the most popular nut spread worldwide. This is not only due to its delicious taste but also to the incredible health benefits of almonds. They are high in vitamin E, help stabilize blood sugar levels (thanks to their low carbohydrate and high protein, fat, and fiber content), and are packed with antioxidants. It’s pure luck that they also taste amazing, right?
We make our almond cream from lightly roasted almonds, which enhances its rich, intense flavor. Along with peanut butter, almond butter pairs exceptionally well with bread and fruit—think of it as an alternative to the classic peanut butter & jelly sandwich. If you prefer something sweet for breakfast but want to avoid sugar and blood sugar spikes, we highly recommend toasted whole grain rye bread spread with natural almond butter and topped with fruit slices (such as apple, pear, raspberries, or banana).
Almond cream is incredibly versatile: it can replace fat (and even some flour) in baked goods, make smoothies creamier, and add a more filling texture to oatmeal. It’s also an excellent afternoon snack—just dip some fruit in it! (Our secret treat: dates stuffed with almond butter and dipped in melted dark chocolate—perfect as a gourmet gift!)
Like all our Mendula nut butters, this almond cream is made without added oils—our almonds are dry-roasted, and we don’t use any additives, palm oil, emulsifiers, or other vegetable fats. It contains nothing but delicious, roasted, natural almonds—pure and simple.
On our website, you’ll find healthy and delicious almond butter dessert recipes, but its uses are truly limitless. If you enjoy Thai cuisine, try mixing it with ginger, garlic, lime juice, a few drops of soy sauce, and honey—it makes an amazing dressing that elevates any vegetable dish. If you're a soup lover, add it to pumpkin or carrot soup for an extra smooth and rich texture. It also complements Indian curries and sauces, Middle Eastern dishes, or even a unique twist on tomato pasta sauce.
For a quick energy boost, use it in your post-workout smoothie, or make your own energy bars for hikes and cycling trips by blending dried fruits, nuts, and almond butter. Kids also love almond butter in breakfasts, snacks, and homemade cookies—offering a healthier alternative to store-bought, sugar-laden products.
Diet-Friendly & Nutrient-Rich
Our Mendula Almond Cream fits into numerous diets: it is gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan, making it an essential ingredient for paleo, keto, and raw vegan recipes. It is an excellent protein source for athletes and, thanks to its high antioxidant content, supports faster recovery after workouts.
Almonds are among the healthiest nuts, containing more vitamin E, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, and fiber than any other type of nut. They are also a great source of magnesium and rich in essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
The nutrients in almonds boost brain activity, reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease with regular consumption. They help regulate cholesterol levels and support a healthy heart. Their linoleic and linolenic acid content helps reduce inflammation, while vitamin E provides cancer-fighting properties.
Even though almonds have a high fat content, they are effective for weight loss—their healthy unsaturated fats keep you feeling full longer, and their fiber aids digestion.
Healthy, delicious, and incredibly versatile—Mendula Almond Cream is a must-have in every kitchen!
