Carley’s Organic Seed and Nut Butters

Why Choose Carley’s Organic Seed and Nut Butters

• Certified organic since 1992: Over three decades of continuous Soil Association certification.
• Zero-carbon ethos: Produced in a dedicated organic eco-factory that generates more green electricity annually than it uses.
• Straightforward ingredients: Most jars are simply 100% nuts or seeds. No palm fat. No emulsifiers. No nonsense.
• Taste and texture first: Cool-milled processes preserve flavour and the natural character of each nut or seed.
• Recyclable packaging: Glass jars with metal lids — simple to reuse or recycle.

What’s Inside (and What Isn’t)

The range of Carley’s organic seed and nut butters is deliberately minimal in ingredients and maximal in flavour. You’ll typically find just one ingredient on the label: the nut or seed itself. That means no palm oil to bulk it out, no emulsifiers to force a uniform texture, and no added sugar or salt to mask the natural taste. Separation of oils is normal — give it a stir and you’re set.

Seed Butters: Deep, Savoury, Versatile

Seed spreads bring bold flavour and everyday utility. Carley’s organic tiger nut and sunflower seed butter is creamy and mellow; organic cashew butter delivers a distinct, nutty depth. These are easy wins for smoothies, salad dressings, energy balls, and sauces where you want character without additives.

Marmalade, Chutney and Preserved Lemons

Carley's organic range extends beyond nut butters. Try their organic preserved lemons for middle eastern dishes to add a tangy citrus punch, organic apple and sultana chutney or organic red onion marmalade, for a deliciously moist, sweet and savoury addition to cheese and biscuits.  

Nut Butters: Clean, Single-Ingredient Classics

Almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut, brazil and walnut — you’ll find meticulously milled jars that showcase the natural flavour of the nut. Raw almond butter offers a delicate, marzipan-leaning sweetness; cashew butter is velvety and naturally creamy; hazelnut butter is intensely aromatic; brazil and walnut butters bring a robust, grown-up profile. Their combinations keep the ingredient list short and honest for minimum fuss and maximum nutrition.

How to Use Carley’s Organic Seed and Nut Butters

• Breakfast fuel: Swirl into porridge, dollop on yoghurt, or spread on toast with sliced fruit.
• Dressings and dips: Whisk sunflower seed butter with lemon juice and water for a quick, creamy drizzle. Add garlic or herbs to push it savoury.
• Baking and no-bake snacks: Bind flapjacks, cookies, and energy balls without resorting to syrups or emulsifiers.
• Sauces: Cashew or peanut butter makes a fast satay-style sauce — loosen with warm water, add tamari, lime and chilli.
• Smoothies: A spoon of almond or pumpkin seed butter adds body, plant fats and flavour without added sugars.

Choosing the Right Jar

• Raw vs roasted: Raw (cool-milled) keeps flavours subtle and delicate; roasted brings a deeper, toastier profile.
• Single-nut purity: If you prefer clean, one-note flavour, choose single-ingredient jars.
• Texture: Some jars are naturally thicker or runnier depending on the nut/seed oils; stir to your preferred consistency.

Straight Facts About Quality and Sourcing

Carley’s is a long-standing advocate of organic agriculture: better for biodiversity, better for soils, and aligned with a lower-impact food system. The factory is a 100% dedicated organic site in the heart of Cornwall, built around renewables and energy efficiency. The business is fully independent and family-owned, which means ingredient choice and production standards aren’t driven by a parent conglomerate — they’re driven by principle.
