Review of Aldi Peanut Delight Creamy Peanut Butter

I have never maintained much brand allegiance to a specific peanut butter label.  They all are pretty similar as they all have the common denominator ingredients of peanuts, oil, and preservatives. Peanut butter is used regularly in our household whether it is prepared for sandwiches, baked in desserts, or simply offered as a dip for celery sticks or crackers. There are purists out there that like the organic or even homemade peanut butter. As this is most likely better for me, I find the lack of smoothness as well as separation of oils to be a bit much. I am okay with factory processed peanut butter. I am on the fence with peanut with and without nuts still in the jar. There are times when I prefer one over the other. For review purposes, this post only discusses my findings with the smooth variety.

Taste

As with all processed nut butters, I don’t expect there to be a great variance in flavor as the ingredients lists is minimal no matter which brand one is sampling. The peanut delight peanut butter is no different than Skippy or Jiff. I find the taste satisfying and it marries well with jam.

Appearance

The peanut butter is sold (like most brands) in the plastic jar. The nut butter carries the usual pb brown color. Label is red and there is a protective foil safety wrap on top when first opening jar. The bright red lid makes this jar an easy find in my densely packed pantry when making sandwiches early in the morning.

Price

This forty ounce (2 pound 8 ounce) jar of this Aldi peanut butter is priced at $5.00. A comparable jar of peanut butter from Jiff or Skippy will run $6.15.  I rate it a solid buy.
