Barney Butter
Barney Butter’s California almonds are grown right in our own back yard in Central Valley, California and then processed in our own 100% peanut free and certified organic facility.
They use only the finest quality ingredients, including organic and fair trade when possible. All of their Barney Butter products are peanut free and gluten free, and all but Honey + Flax are Non GMO Verified. They make all of their artisan, small batch almond butters in their state of the art facility.
About The Brand
At Barney Butter, an extra step is taken to set their products apart from the competition. They remove the skin from their almonds (also known as blanching) before making the almond butter, resulting in an ultra-smooth and creamy texture that can’t be beat. In addition, their jars are made of 100% post-consumer recycled #1 PET plastic, which is BPA-free. They believe quality food should be affordable and accessible, not just for those who can pay a high price tag. While almond prices fluctuate, they always try to offset rising prices with coupons and promotions.

FAQ
- Barney Butter uses only the very top quality California almonds, which they then blanch (take the skin off) before grinding. This results in the ultra smooth taste and texture of their nut butters that are completely unique to Barney Butter. In addition to using only BEST California almonds, they have also transitioned to all organic, fair-trade ingredients, where possible. Ingredients matter.
- Effective September 1, 2007, almonds produced in California and sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico are required to be pasteurized prior to sale. This effectively covers all almonds grown in the U.S., because the entire U.S. almond crop is grown in California.
- All of their almonds are steam pasteurized and PPO free.
- Heat is generated by friction during the grinding process of our almond butters; this is the only head their raw almonds are exposed to other than the steam pasteurization.
- They make all of their own almond butters in small batches in their facility in Fresno, CA. Their facility is certified peanut free and their products remain free from cross contamination with other tree nuts (coconut being the exception), dairy, eggs, grain, and seed products. Barney Butter has not been impacted by the recalls affecting many nut butters using co-packers.
- All Barney Butter almond butters are certified peanut free and Kosher. All Barney Butter products with the exception of Honey + Flax are verified Non-GMO and certified vegan. Honey + Flax cannot be verified Non-GMO because honey can’t be verified and cannot be certified vegan because honey is not vegan.
