Related QuestionsWhy is there oil on top of my peanut butter?
Grandma's FruitcakesOur peanut butter is natural. This means that we do not add any hydrogenated oils to 'stabilize' the peanut butter and prevent the natural oil separation that occurs when the peanuts are ground. Therefore, over time, as the jar of peanut butter sits the oil from the ground peanuts will separate and rise to the top of the jar. This oil is pure peanut oil. Refrigerating slows this separation. Generally, the longer the jar sits, the more oil will be on the top.
Related QuestionsWhy is my peanut butter sometimes runny?
Grandma's FruitcakesPeanuts vary in oil content. Because we do not add anything to our peanut butter, the texture is a function of the oil content in the peanuts and the type of grind used. Some lots of peanuts may have greater oil levels and therefore some production runs may be runnier than others. We intentionally grind our peanut butter very fine to make the peanut butter creamy so that when stored in the refrigerator to retard the oil separation it does not become too hard to spread.
Related QuestionsHow can I stir the peanut butter when it is hard?

Krema finely grinds select peanuts to create our unique creamy texture which remains smooth and spreadable 'even when refrigerated.' To stir, slide a stiff butter knife down the inside of the jar; while rotating gently, pull blade toward the center of the jar, allowing the oil to fill the space created.
