Eric’s Peanut Butter was one of the peanut butters I found while doing my pre-trip research - I saw it on Instagram when decided I needed to try an indie peanut butter Switzerland, and then dragged my partner through multiple grocery stores in multiple Swiss cities looking for it. Romantic travel activities. 🥰
When I finally found it, I stood there umm-ing and ahh-ing because I already had Loeen’s and Bonne Maman to put in the cart, and I usually review the no-sugar version where possible, but the original had honey and sea salt, and they also had a Swiss chocolate version. (I am not usually a chocolate person, but I am a Swiss chocolate person.) This was a difficult and important moment.
I went with the naked version: just peanuts. I really wanted to like this, as I love the story and mission (and the social media posts - just look how cute the handwritten posts are! - I took a screenshot from the official Instagram account) but unfortunately, this is where I think naked peanut butter goes wrong. Instead of tasting naturally sweet and toasty, it tastes a little burnt and a bit sad and lacking in flavour.
Maybe the honey and sea salt version makes more sense, so I should try to recreate the experience at home? I haven’t really wanted to reach for this jar given I am spoilt for options. 😔
