Amlou or peanut butter: which should you choose?
Amlou is a traditional Moroccan spread made from roasted almonds and honey; peanut butter is a ground peanut paste. Both go on bread, but they are not interchangeable — here is how to choose by taste and by use.
- 1
What each one is
Amlou: a traditional Moroccan spread of roasted almonds and honey. Peanut butter: a ground peanut paste. The exact composition is printed on every product page and on the pack.
- 2
The taste
Amlou is softer and more fragrant: roasted almond leads, honey rounds off the finish. Peanut butter is sharper and more direct, with the peanut flavour up front.
- 3
The texture
Amlou spreads thick and stays put on the slice. Peanut butter loosens with a turn of the spoon; if the oil rises to the surface that is normal — stir it and it comes back together.

How it is used
Amlou belongs to the Moroccan breakfast: msemen, pancakes, baghrir, slices of bread. Peanut butter is more versatile — toast, smoothies, baking — and travels well in a gift box for a child or a student.

How to decide
Start from the recipient’s taste, not from the trend: fragrant sweetness → amlou; a straight peanut flavour → peanut butter. If in doubt, begin with a small format of each, or take a ready-made gift selection that holds both.
