I bought Jobbie peanut butter today (17-03-2020) as I thought I'd give it a try. I was genuinely hoping it would be good as it is a local brand.

But....

it is really disappointing. The chunky type is more like very oily peanut sauce with crushed peanuts. I thoroughly stirred it to try to mix it really well before using.

Ingredients says just roasted peanuts but I seriously doubt it is pure roasted peanuts. I can taste some kind of neutral oil (maybe canola or peanut oil) they have used which is what is making it so liquid until it pours from the spoon like a Thai peanut sauce. I suspect they're adding too much oil to their grinder machine to prevent it from seizing. I have tried making peanut butter myself and I know that's the problem that happens when the process is rushed and the grinder is not setup well.

So sadly, I would give jobbie 1 star out of 5 star. I won't buy it again.

haha, i am not competitor. you can see i tried to make my own peanut butter in bulk back in 2017 before. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4201972/all

just sharing my opinion. if you like their peanut "sauce", go ahead and enjoy it!

chunky. see my photo. see my video. it is more like peanut sauce rather than butter. please share your video. maybe i got unlucky and got a bad batch?

Sadly, JIF uses hydrogenated vegetable oil from soybean. I stopped buying that brand after I found that out.

Doesn't taste like peanut butter since so liquid. I didn't like the flat flavour, felt like just coat the tongue in oil.

No, I don't think they added sugar. I think they added too much oil.

Mine just says chunky on the label. Ingredients just says roasted peanuts and nothing else. My photos shows this.

I couldn't find any good local supplier. I tried Joeys. Now I tried Jobbie. Not great. So end up go back to Adams. Expensive so I can't eat as much as I want. Someday I hope someone local can start to make good quality peanut butter. I assume we can grow these peanuts locally. Doesn't seem like high tech.

haha. Daisy cheated you. I also got fooled before. You see the ingredients, there is this item: "emulsifier-soya bean source". Google that and you'll find out it is actually hydrogenated soybean oil. https://www.ewg.org/research/hidden-plain-s...dden-many-foods

They just use a different term. Just like instead of saying white sugar, nowadays they cheat by saying processed cane sugar.

Yes, I don't see anything else on the label.

I already mentioned I thoroughly stirred it.

see the pic. they labeled it as roasted peanut. to roast peanuts, you need oil. the question then becomes how much oil vs peanut and what type of oil.

if you use too little oil, the roasted result will be dry and if your "melangeur" (grinder) is not powerful enough, it will seize up. I used this granite Indian type before at a friends place in India and it seized up because we didn't put enough oil.

based on how liquidy the jobbie result was, i feel like they used way too much oil. i wonder what type of grinder they are using.

haha, yes, that is exactly what i felt as well. really unappetizing. i kept trying to mix and mix hoping it would become solid but instead just so liquidy.
