Peanut Butter aka Pasta de Mani

 
Posted by Picasa


On the ex-pat living in Argentina sites, they are always whining about where to find Peanut Butter. Well you can find it here, it is called Pasta de Mani and you can get it with or without sugar. I purchase mine in Barrio Chino, it is a little less expensive than purchasing it in the Bonbonería (Candy store) around the corner from, which stocks the same brand. Most supermercados do not stock Pasta de Mani, but I hear you can find it at JUMBO. This peanut butter certainly isn´t like the typical kind like Skippy or Squirrel, which has a lot of other additives, it is more natural, made with just peanuts!

I'm not a peanut butter fan, but my wife was, and pasta de mani just isn't the same. Most brands were a lot more watery than peanut butter with less flavour - we ended up making our own, it's really easy

I have only really tried this brand pictured, it is very thick and natural nothing but peanuts. no sugar, no salt. the oil rises to the top. we tend to use peanut butter more often in cooking for sauces rather than on toast.
