What to know about Pintola Unsweetened Creamy Almond Butter
Only almonds, but 580 kcal per 100 g
A creamy almond spread made from a single ingredient: 100% roasted almonds, with no sugar, salt, oil or additive listed. It is bought by people who want a plain nut butter for toast, smoothies and snacks, and by gym-goers who want a protein-rich spread.
Per 100 g it has 580 kcal, 24 g protein, 12 g fibre and 49 g fat, of which 4 g is saturated. Added sugar is 0 g and sodium is 1 mg. The 4 g of total sugar comes from the almonds themselves. One 32 g serve (2 tablespoons) gives about 186 kcal, 7.7 g protein and 3.8 g fibre.
The pack says 100% natural, unsweetened and no added sugar or salt, and the ingredient list and panel agree. The weight management and muscle growth lines are framing rather than something the label can prove. CleanPlate scores it CA3.
Why Pintola Unsweetened Creamy Almond Butter scores CA3
Nutrition is a C: 24 g protein and 12 g fibre per 100 g, but no vitamins or minerals are declared. Ingredients are an A for a single ingredient, and risk is a 3, driven by 580 kcal per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 24 g per 100 g and fibre is 12 g, both coming from the almonds. In a 32 g serve that is about 7.7 g protein and 3.8 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. The spread is energy-dense at 580 kcal per 100 g, which holds the grade at the middle.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is one line: 100% roasted almonds. There is no added sugar, salt, oil, emulsifier or flavouring, and no additive costs ingredient points.
Nothing on the front or back is hollow: natural, unsweetened and no added sugar or salt all match the list and panel. Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- 4 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Energy is the main driver: 580 kcal per 100 g, about 186 kcal per 32 g serve. That is what lifts the risk grade to a 3.
Saturated fat is 4 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and about 1.3 g per serve. Added sugar is 0 g and sodium is 1 mg, so neither plays a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
