Why does the oil separate on top of nut butter?

Oil separation in nut butter is a completely natural and harmless process. When nuts are ground, they release their oils, which contribute to the creamy texture of nut butter. Over time, especially when the nut butter is left undisturbed, these oils tend to rise and collect at the top. While many commercial brands employ stabilizers to prevent this separation and extend shelf life, we take pride in offering an all-natural nut butter.


Our nut butter is 100% natural and pure, free from any added stabilizers or preservatives. This separation is a clear indication of the product's purity and should not be a cause for concern.
