Not too long ago, I contacted Artisana inquiring about their delicious nut butters. Being an avid nut butter fan, I was really excited when they replied and sent me some samples.
When I came fome from school, I saw the box on the counter and immediately I tore right into that thing. I mutilated that box.
It included 6 little boxes each with 10 sample packets of the given nut butters which included RAW (yes, completely raw, meaning there are only about 1-3 ingredients) almond butter, cacao bliss, cashew butter, coconut butter, pecan butter, and walnut butter.
I've tried all of them EXCEPT for pecan and walnut butters so I was really excited to try those. You don't see pecan and walnut butter everywhere so I was super excited to dig right in.
Here are my thoughts on these magical nut butters:
Almond Butter: 9/10
This was very good! It was very creamy and definitely reminded me of Trader Joe's Creamy Unsalted Almond Butter. Gotta love almonds!
Cashew Butter: 8/10
To me, this one tasted a little funkier than I expected. I've tried a few other cashew butters before (my favorite being the 365 Everyday Value brand) and they had a slightly different taste. This one was so creamy though so I enjoyed it.
Walnut Butter: 10/10
I've never had walnut butter before and rarely eat walnuts, so when I first tasted this I had to go back. It was SO good! I really can see this flavor in my near future. :)
Pecan Butter: 20,000/10
THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING NEW, MY FRIENDS. I grew up with a family who LOVES their pecans although I never really enjoyed them... UNTIL I tried this stuff. Never had pecan butter before, and didn't think I would particularly like it. BUT GOOD GOLLY GOSH I did! I'm really trying to ration it out because I could quite honestly eat it all in two minutes. I tried it on top of a steamed sweet potato.... do you hear the angels singing? So delicious!
Coconut Butter: 10/10
This was excellent! It was creamier than I expected which I absolutely adore. It reminded me of being on some island sippin' on a tropical coco-nutty smoothie. I loved it!
Cacao Bliss: 8/10
I thought this was pretty good, but it did have a funky taste to it as well. I loved it on top of a protein pancake and I think it would taste great in Greek yogurt. I have to try that!
Overall, I am so incredibly pleased with Artisana's goodies. The people at the company were very helpful and generous. I am definitely ordering more when my stock is out. I'm going to be so sad when I finish all of this. :( (Which I predict could be very soon...) I would definitely recommend buying Artisana's products! A+ for them!
