Gourmet Peanut Butter & Almond Butter: Spread It On!
CAPSULE REPORT: Some people are specialists who do what they do better than anyone else. Like Spread.
Spread’s specialty is luxury peanut butter and almond butter. How luxurious? One variety has edible gold flakes. But most are slightly less ornately-embellished PB and AB. Four ounces of nut butter cost $12.00 or $13.00, the PB/AB equivalent, ounce-per-ounce, of a box of luxury chocolates. And there are quite a few luxury chocolate PB and AB flavors to choose from in Spread’s repertoire of 170 or so.
It you’re still looking for that special gift, this could be it. You can buy Spread in individual jars or in a variety of themed gift boxes, including “gentlemen’s,” holiday and Latin flavors, plus two collections just for canines.
If you’re looking for a new gourmet food addiction, you’ve come to the right place. Once you start, you can’t stop—and why should you? Each of the 47 or so flavors currently listed on the website sounds equally tempting, unless you have something against butterscotch, cherry, chile, cinnamon, cookies and cream, lavender, pretzels or the myriad of other inclusions.
One thing we guarantee: Just look at the list of flavors and you’ll never look at peanut butter/almond butter the same way again. Join us as we visit Spread’s spreads—strictly for adults, except for child gourmets and pampered pooches. Read the full review below.

Spread Peanut Butter Overview
We’ve written up gourmet peanut butter lines before. But they’re nothing quite like Spread peanut butter.
Spread peanut butter and almond butter are the offspring of Spread the Restaurant in San Diego, which serves organic vegetarian and vegan “nouveau comfort food,” plucked from local farmers markets by chefs/owners Andrew and Robin Schiff.
Their “outside the box” approach to creative menus show itself in the 43 or so flavors of peanut butter and almond butter made for humans, plus four flavors for canines.
While each precious jar makes just four sandwiches—or in our case, a week of dipping spoonfuls from the jar—this is gourmet indulgence as its finest. They also make wicked sauces, spreads for canapés and garnishes for desserts.
You’ve never spread anything like Spread—as you’ll see the moment you turn to the next page.
