I'm trying to find Eskal Free-nut butter.

I'm hoping someone can help me out here please.

As part of an allergy study, my little one must avoid peanuts for a year. Her favourite sandwich was peanut butter, and I received a free jar of Eskal Freenut butter from the UK importer and she loved it.
It is so much like crunchy peanut butter in taste, texture and appearance that it is difficult to get your head around the fact that it is made from sunflower seeds with not a peanut in sight!

Unfortunately, I can only find online retailers who charge about £5 delivery, which is not really cost-effective for a jar which costs just over £3.
According to mysupermarket.com, it is available from Asda, but I have been in contact with Asda who looked into it and have said that they definitely don't stock it.

If anyone has come across this anywhere, I would really really appreciate any info.

Thank you so much. Didn't think of Amazon. I managed to get an address for the UK importer and have emailed them asking for a list of stockists.
Will ring Waitrose tomorrow too. Is that Ocado??????
I suppose if all else fails, One from Amazon at just over £5 isn't too bad. Probably wouldn't need more than that as I'm hoping that she will be okay to eat peanuts from around Jan/Feb next year.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help Santer.

Okay. Just checked out Ocado. Minimum purchase is £40!!!

I included Ocado as they have it and maybe it could have been included as part of a larger shop, though £40 of goods is a lot to think of and get just for one jar.

You could ask Amazon what the best before date is, and if years away, the 3 jars are £4:18 each delivered

Thanks Santer. Hopefully after the allergy study period is over, in Jan, we will be able to go back to peanut butter as normal, so don't really want the expense of buying 3 jars of the more expensive stuff!

hi Rosie

Real Foods have it at £3.33 for a jar, £5.97 including postage, but they do free delivery on orders over £15, so if there were a few other things you wanted from the site it'd work out quite well, they do wholefoods/health foods/grains etc


EDIT ... oops, that was the smooth one, HERE's the crunchy version

Thank you Swan.
The importers gave me a list of retailers in my area who may stock it. Managed to find a farm shop which don't have it in stock, but very kindly said they would order me a couple of jars in their October order and I can just go and pick it up. Result!
