The taste is good, it is shelf stable and it does not separate, but the name is somewhat misleading.
Most natural peanut butters contain one ingredient- peanuts. Some brands also add a touch of salt as a flavor enhancer. This product contains peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt. The palm oil is where I am disappointed. Skippy removes a portion of the peanut oil and replaces it with palm oil. The peanut oil can be sold for a substantial profit, so it is removed during processing and replaced with very inexpensive palm oil.

The first reviewer wrote: "The flavor of this product is good. But peanut butter always tastes good. Skippy doesn't deserve credit for the fact that peanut butter tastes good."

She missed the whole point. This isn't just any peanut butter. Skippy has managed to produce a PB with no hydrogenated oils, while having no separation -- and it still tastes great. Try any other brand with no hydrogenated oils and you'll find that they actually don't taste very good, they have all the oil on top, and you have to keep them in the refrigerator. This Skippy product is a very unique peanut butter.

She admits it tastes good, yet instead of rating it highly, she only gave it one star because it's kosher. C'mon! Amazon should remove the review.

I wrote a similar review for the creamy, but thought I would add one to the crunchy version. This PB rocks! Great taste and no hydrogenated oils. Doesn't separate! Much better than the natural stuff that's out there. My kids love it (while they hated the other natural stuff).

This Peanut butter is REALLY good. If you've been eating the high sugar PB's, it may take a minute to readjust your tongue. But, frankly, a PB that I don't have to stir!?! ROCK ON! Now for the Kosher thing, being Kosher is more than just "paying a Rabbi to bless the food." There are rules for how it is prepared (check out [...] for details). So, get over that and accept that Skippy took some extra steps, which, in the grand scheme of things, does not drive up the price of a jar of peanut butter!

So my local grocers, Jewel an Dominick's, decided no one likes crunchy peanut butter or atleast natural crunchy, so they decided for me which brand I would buy and only stocked one brand in each store. Both brands are bland and pretty gross, unlike the Skippy Natural Super Chunk, which tastes pretty close to regular chunchy peanut butter. To make it even better I get it cheaper from Amazon delivered then going to the store to get their choices or skippy when they had it.

This peanut butter is great for the price. We eat a lot of natural peanut butter so when I saw this brand offered here on Amazon I decided to order us some. It taste really good. You don't need to stir it like other natural peanut butters either. However, it does not come in a nice glass jar...you get a plastic one instead. Personally, I do like the crunchy brand a little more than the smooth type because we use it for various African/Southeast Asian recipes (peanut butter soup/peanut butter sauce) in our house and the texture works wonderfully.

This peanut butter contains added sugar, which is not what I'm looking for in a "natural" peanut butter. Additionally, they remove some of the peanut oil and replace it with palm oil, which is cheaper and environmentally suspect in its harvesting. I understand that these are all products that are of a nature-based origin, but adding ingredients to something that is already quite natural (blend your peanuts - you've got peanut butter!) makes it not natural in my eyes.

This is definitly chunky PB and what you expect from Skippy. It is natural so no HFCS but stii has oil and sugar added.

Yes..., the draw back is PALM oil, its advantage is it reduce the quickness of separation. This brand does not have to be stored in a refrigerator to reduce separation. I live in an apartment that averages about 80 deg. F. and I don't have to store this in a refrigerator.

I used to be a ROUNDY'S natural peanut butter fan, but got sick of mixing peanut butter and the separated oil.

AS far as ingredients go... peanuts, sugar, palm oil, salt.
There isn't a brand on the planet that doesn't have salt added to it, even organic..(that I have seen, incl. Trader Joe's)
I do wish they didn't add the sugars, but maybe it is in the future for other non-mixing peanut butter brands

Sugars in this brand is 3g per 2TBSP(32g) compared to the 16g/TBSP found in other brands, it's really good.
Compared to some(very few) with no added sugar, its comparable/reasonable at least...

I hated mixing peanut butter that was truly organic, and this is as close as I've found. I am not an "ORGANIC" freak, as some are... if you want organic peanut butter this is not it. If you want cheap/volume natural/ish peanut butter this is as close as you're going to get.

Taste is great, I have eaten a jar of this peanut butter with no bread, over a week or two, but nun
-the-less,
I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!!
and for MY LOVE,
and my need for it to be filled, economically,
This is it!!!

P.S.
If I had a better budget and craved peanut butter less, I would go with something more "TOP QUALITY"..
but my grocer offers this 26.5oz jar of PB for $3.29, so I'm hooked.
...26.5oz. lasts me a week or sometimes less...
I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!!
good luck.

This peanut butter is so crunchy. It is very good in peanut butter fudge or other recipes that use peanut butter.
