I've made my own peanut butter in a Cuisinart food processor. I think any basic food processor would be fine.
Does it taste the same
Nah all the preservatives and stuff really enhance the flavour
@easternculture Not the same. Tasted too healthy lol
$3.75 is the full retail price we are being ripped by the supermarkets & there marketing saying it's half price BS.
Yeah. Doubt anyone ever buys this at full price
How are you getting ripped off?
If you claim this premium brand should cost $3.75, then congrats - it does.
By the way it shouldn't, because peanuts are getting more expensive and the market is cutthroat - Sanitarium just dropped out of the PB market.
This one is more of a fancier brand.. tastes a bit better than other brands imo but definitely not a budget buy
Buy the coles peanut butter for $2.70 then?
I'm going to be adventurous and get smooth pnb this time
Sounds like you like living life on the edge.
…of the butter knife
The content used to be Australian peanut but not now as i am aware of
From memory it used to be made in NZ from Australian peanuts, but now also use Brazil and Argentina sourced peanuts.
I think you'll find there's no peanut butter brand anymore that uses anything close to 100% Australian ingredients now, whether it's Pic's, Mayver's, Bega, etc. They've all slowly and steadily reduced the percentage of Australian ingredients since about 2020.
Yeah the bega simply nuts varieties are all 100% australian.
Also the Mayvers smooth and crunchy that have bug 100% australian on tbe front logo are also… 100% australian. (Yellow and peach coloured labels)After chats with researchers in the aussie peanut industry, I just go without when I don't have stocks of these.
There's definitely a seasonal variance to the proportion of Australian peanuts used though. You'll find different batches have differing percentages of Australian peanuts when there's local shortages and I've seen the percentages on jars from all of these brands drop down to almost no Australian ingredients at times.
@Gnostikos: As stated, the bega simply nuts has never dropped down. The bega plastic tubs have, plus the mayvers ones that dont state australian.
Well, you've convinced me to try bega simply nuts. Thanks
Ridiculously Delicious is also 100% Australian. That’s what I like to buy now, although it’s also Ridiculously Expensive. Tastes to me like how Pic’s used to taste
This is what I buy too. It's relatively hard to find (not sold at Colesworth, and not all IGAs) and costs more than full price Mayvers when on sale, but it's just better. Superior flavour and just a bit more oil than others so that it doesn't end up like clay at the bottom.
Yeah I can't pick what it is but I don't particularly like this brand at all, just not nice. Prefer mayvers, maybe I'm just a basic bitch.
One of the mainstream brands had a 100% peanut one aswell, maybe Bega and that was decent too.
It does affect the taste of the peanut butter. I still prefer their peanut butter when it was Australian peanut.
Argentina and Brazil Peanuts has less peanut flavor ~~~
Thanks OP, I'll take a Pic
Make sure its decent
It's this better/tastier than Mayver's?
Bega simply nuts is ahead of Mayvers.
I used to be a Mayver's fanboi but, Bega Simply Nuts is probably my favourite now. The bottle is also reusable, unlike the narrow necked ones from Pic's and Mayver's. However Bega is more expensive.
But the label comes right off a Mayver's bottle with very little effort. It even says to "peel and reuse me".
That and dark roast is the reason I keep buying it.
@ippy: Didn't realise Mayver's labels peel off that easy, kudos to them for thinking of this. My fav reusable bottle is Bonne Maman and Aldi Grandessa Signature. They're identical. The label comes off in the dishwasher.
My favourite currently is Fix & Fogg super crunchy.
Yes.
Pic's has a richer, more intense roasted nut flavour. It's like Whittaker's chocolates and their intense cocoa flavour compared to Cadbury's sugary, oily, war-rationing ersatz chocolate. Mayver's is a bit more watered-down, diluted, weak and their consistency tends to be a lot less thicker compared to Pic's as well.
No, not in my opinion. Pics is bone dry and difficult to spread and tastes no better than the home brands.
I still tend to prefer Mayvers or Bega Simply Nuts when on sale.
I used to love Pics, didn't have it for a few years and then bought a jar again recently; I thought it tasted horrible. Mayvers dark roast ftw.
I don't like how Mayvers plaster the Australian made logos on their products but only the smooth and crunchy versions are from Aussie peanuts. The other varieties have less than 10% Aussie peanuts and they still charge a premium price.
I thought I'd check Amazon and searched pics… all I can say is, don't forget to add peanut butter in the search
I search peanut butter and sheep dog peanut butter whiskey showing up, on sale $55!?
I found my last few Pic's to be pretty stiff (lack of oil?) but I'll give it another go since I'm running out of mayvers
Fuiyyoooo! Add some MSG…Okay,!!!
Haiyaaa!!!
MSG makes everything taste better
Hi Oleic peanuts are peanuts that contain a higher amount of oleic acid compared to standard peanuts.
Mayers at Amazon $4.60 for 375g

Not sure if it's the same as the Mayver's when you open it and all the oil is at the top, but if you flip it upside down in the cupboard for a few days the oil goes back through the peanut butter the other way and makes it a million times easier to mix it all in.
If you can't wait a few days pick yourself up a Peanut Butter Stirrer
a fork?
It actually exists lol: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/335212290253?chn=ps&_ul=AU&_trkp…
(P.S. I'm not affiliated with this eBay seller or bought this item before)
Fix & Fogg super crunchy (hi-oleic peanuts) from NZ is also good but haven't seen it at half price.
Have tried most of the brands including Mayvers, Simply Nuts and 99th Monkey.
might still be cheaper to get the large container version of this if you like it.
Link?
Must have just been a bad batch, but last year I bought a jar of Pic's that was extremely salty. Had to get a jar of unsalted natural PB to fix it. Didn’t put me off the brand tho as I still buy regularly…
If you don't have jam then there is no point in buying this.
I put a dollop of this with my weetbix/muesli for breakfast, its my favourite part.
Overdue for a Mayver's special on Amazon tho…
Thanks. Interesting that original Bega scored well and higher than Simply Nuts. Haven't seen some of the brands mentioned e.g. Bramwells, Ceres and Byron Bay.
Opened my bottle today. Bega Simply Nuts and Mayvers are definitely better, which I have in parallel. Not much salt in Pic's but also feels a LOT "thicker". Last time I'm getting Pic's, even if price is lowered.
Feel like this deal was a bit of a cop out. Tried my 3 closest Coles over the weekend and none of them had any stock.
Yeah same to 2 stores and no luck
Is it really a cop out if it's so popular that people buy all the stock after you left it too long? I was almost in the same position but managed to place a click and collect at one store and it didnt get cancelled
It's a regular mainstream product that is always in stock. Yet suddenly when it's on special - they've run out of it for an entire week. I checked my nearest store on the Thursday and they were already sold out at midday. It's a cop out that Coles head office would have instructed stores not to restock that item until after the sale period is over.
Coles still does rainchecks though.
The PB just keeps going up in price from $3 a jar to $7.50 in about 4 years or less
Not that peanuts are marginally expensive.
Thinking of buying a Ninja foodie with the spread bowl and making my own
ROI should be quick
