In the weight control program that I follow, peanut butter is either a "fat" or a "protein". With that in mind, I have tried different peanut butters and have narrowed my preferences down to two brands, Maranatha being one. My reasons:

-Organic: made with certified organic peanuts and if that is important to you, then Maranatha is a great choice.
-Additives: NO hydrogenated oils, NO sugar added; no nothing except for a tiny trace of salt. But, this does not taste salty at all
-Great taste: This should have been first. Maranatha has a mild, mellow, peanutty taste. I really do like it.
-Great texture: truly smooth and creamy. Easy to spread even on soft bread

Hint: This is NOT homogenized; the oil is on the top of the peanut butter when you open the jar. You have to mix it in but, fear not! Stick a butter knife down into the middle of the jar and move it ever so slightly, creating an opening into which the oil can flow. Repeat this a few times and most of the oil will be gone from the top. Stir and then enjoy. You will NOT have to mix again.

Summary: A wonderful way to get those "fat" allowances from a healthful type of fat. This peanut butter has made my weight control easier because I substitute it for far less satisfying fats and it seems as though I am eating something sinfully sensational.

I have tried them ALL - even making my own, which would be the best if I could get fresh organic peanuts. In lieu of that, I've been eating this p.b. for over four years. It's great with anything p.b. goes with, even better all alone on a spoon.

Eat and enjoy!

Excellent Organic Peanut Butter! I agree with other reviewers, you should when FIRST OPEN JAR STIR IN CENTER SLOWLY, to let the oil on top seep down and mix properly. Then you're good to go and enjoy Peanut butter & Jelly soft bread sandwiches. I'm getting the non salt version, though only 80 mg of sodium in this type, unlike alot of commercial brands that have 100 mg or more.

NATURAL, LOVE THE NON-SUGARY UNPROCESSED TASTE THAT THE OTHER PEANUT BUTTERS DON'T HAVE. CAN SPOON OFF SOME OF THE OIL AND DISCARD WITHOUT LOSING TOO MUCHY CREAMY TEXTURE,TOO, WHEN 1ST OPENED!
