Nuttelex is actually neither a margarine nor a butter, it is an unique table spread made from the finest blend of plant oils without the use of artificial additives or preservatives. Nuttelex is also free from many common allergens found in butter, margarine & other table spreads such as gluten, crustacea, egg, fish, peanut oil, added sulphites, lactose, milk, tree nut oil, corn oil, soy and sesame.
Yes, there should be a Nuttelex variety for you to try. Many people with a food allergy or intolerance have successfully included Nuttelex in their diet for many years. As a result, we make every effort to keep the integrity of our product. We have strict quality protocols which ensure that all our ingredients are allergen free. However, it is important to always pay careful attention to your own personal circumstances and consult a health professional as required.

Nuttelex is virtually free from trans fats at 0.4% or lower. Nuttelex also contains 65% or less saturated fat than butter. In addition, Nuttelex is made with vegetable oils. Vegetable oils contain higher content of the good fats (monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat) and are lower in saturated fat. As part of a healthy diet, the CSIRO and Heart Foundation recommend the use of products like table spread over butter. Using Nuttelex Original in place of butter will reduce the saturated fat intake by 2.5kg* per year *Based on 20g of margarine versus 20g of butter per day.
Nuttelex is made in our own purpose built facility in Knoxfield Melbourne. We start with high-quality vegetable oils, carefully blending different types depending on the specific Nuttelex spread we’re crafting that day. This precise mix ensures the perfect balance of spreadability, texture, and firmness. Next, we prepare our own brine solution—just water and salt—which is then combined with the oils. To keep everything smooth and uniform, we add plant-based emulsifiers that prevent the water and oil from separating over time. A dash of essential vitamins and natural flavors completes the recipe before the mixture is rapidly cooled and packed into tubs. From there, it heads to our massive cool room, waiting to make its way to your supermarket shelves—fresh, creamy, and ready to spread! It’s not just about what we leave out—it’s the way we craft Nuttelex that makes all the difference.
Nuttelex only uses sustainable palm oil. It is a crucial ingredient to ensure the product you are getting is creamy and spreadable. Without it, you would end up with liquid in a tub.
If palm oil is not for you, we have Nuttelex Zero (formerly known as Nuttelex with Coconut) is the only Australian made palm oil free table spread available in supermarkets.
Zero is different to our regular Nuttelex products in taste, texture and ingredients. However, many of our loyal Nuttelex customers have asked us for a palm oil free product and we wanted to deliver it. Although it has meant years of R & D and essentially creating an entirely new type of product based on different processes and ingredients from our existing Nuttelex spreads. The result, is the world’s first (to our knowledge), 100% palm-free (including emulsifiers) table spread, enriched with the goodness of coconut oil.
NO all all our tubs are BPA free.
Proudly Australia made and owned our priority at Nuttelex is to always source locally where we can as we believe in the importance home-grown manufacturing. We also value the local know-how and work of the hundreds of local suppliers who help us make the highest quality table spreads.
