The Real, Raw Deal

14 September 2015

What Almond Butter Should Be

Truly raw. Slow-ground. Enzyme-and-nutrient-rich. Oh, and delicious.

Solstice Canyon Almond Butters are the real, raw deal. Made by Rachael Sheridan and Jessie Litow, two best friends from Southern California—both with years in the food industry—Solstice Canyon Almond Butters start with organic, truly raw almonds from Europe.

The almonds are stone-ground at low temperatures for 5 to 8 hours to preserve their natural enzymes and pure nutty flavor. In order to enable the slow-grinding process, organic coconut oil is added, creating a smooth, luscious texture. The almond butter is finished with organic coconut sugar and a touch of Himalayan pink salt for a rich, nuanced nut butter that is unlike any we have ever tasted. The flavor of the coconut is present, but not overbearing, allowing the sweet, nutty flavors of the almonds to shine.

 


Why almonds from Europe? Rachael and Jessie wanted a truly raw almond butter, but all California-grown almonds sold commercially have to be heat-treated or otherwise processed, which can strip them of their natural nutrients. So they source their organic almonds from Europe’s best growers to create the most nutrient-rich nut butter possible.

Did you know? Almonds are packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats—like magnesium, calcium and vitamin E—that support heart health, maintain blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Solstice Canyon Almond Butters retain all of these nutrients (plus they taste delicious), so grab a spoon and dig in.
