Ive missed this crunchy spread.

Key Takeaways

Costco and I have a bit of an on-again, off-again relationship.

But at mine here in Vermont, Im finally seeing this crunchy, protein-packed spread again.

I was first introduced to this incredibly flavorful nut butter by my father-in-laws girlfriend.

That probably sounds like the start of some phony story, but I promise its true.

At any rate, I was reluctantly willing to give the new spread a try.

So why do I love it?

It all comes down to taste and texture.

Perhaps what keeps me coming back to this nut spread is the unique texture.

It makes eating a spoonful of NuttZo spread so delectable.

Its also terrific in peanut sauces.

That means its more than double the price of peanut butter.

But, again, thats why I dont treat this nut and seed butter like regular peanut butter.

In addition to getting a longer shelf life, refrigerating after stirring also prevents the nut butter from separating.
