Not to be confused with your run-of-the-mill peanut butter, Il Colle del Gusto’s Arachidella Peanut Spread is decadently sweet—elevating the beloved taste of the childhood favorite with the molasses-y depth of caramelized brown sugar. Petite flecks of candied peanut add a toffee-like crunch to every spoonful, while a silken base of extra-virgin olive oil yields a luscious, caramel-like texture. And as we learned from the ever-popular “Nutella,” the Italian suffix “ella” is tacked onto a word to show affection, so there’s no question why it’s used in the name of this divine spread.

Ingredients: Peanuts, brown sugar, extra virgin olive oil, rice flour, candied peanuts, sunflower lecithin

Drizzle atop ice cream or a rich chocolate brownie, or use along with or in addition to frosting between layers of cake for decadent desserts. Scoop onto your morning oatmeal, pancakes or waffles for a flavor boost, or simply smear on bread and top with fruit for an elevated PB&J-inspired tartine. Given its silken texture, we wouldn’t suggest using this spread as a true substitute for peanut butter, but it can be used in many other applications that don’t require a structurally-sturdy spread.
