Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter is recommended in reviews for its pleasant taste and texture, which closely resembles creamy peanut butter. Not only is it lower in fat and sodium than popular creamy peanut butters, it contains more fiber. Barney Butter is produced in a peanut-free factory, which makes it a suitable peanut butter substitution for those with a peanut allergy. Like many natural peanut butters, Barney Butter contains palm oil as an emulsifier, so no stirring is required. It doesn't need refrigeration, but Barney Butter has a shorter shelf life than the top-rated Skippy Creamy (*Est. $2.40 for a 16.3-oz. jar) , which is made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Unfortunately, almond butters don't receive the attention that peanut butters do at foodie publications. We found one comparison of Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter at GrubGrade.com, and a good number of consumer reviews at Amazon.com.

Adam conducts an informal taste test of Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter and six other natural, creamy nut butters. It doesn't appear to be a blind taste test, and his mom and sister are mentioned as the only other judges. However, this is one of the few taste tests we found that include an almond butter. Unfortunately, it's being compared to natural peanut butter rather than other almond butters, so it falls in the middle of the pack.
