Smooth peanut butter

My granddaughter (6) loves smooth peanut butter. Where she lives in the Czech Republic, they can buy this with no additives (sugar, salt, oil) and no brown bits of peanut 'skin'. Here I cannot find anything that fulfills these requirements. The 'pure' ones have the brown bits (presumably to add a touch of verisimilude) and the own brand ones with no brown bits have sugar salt and palm oil.
Does anyone know of a brand that ticks all the boxes?

M&S 100% smooth peanut nutter. Only contains peanuts.

What are sometimes called «Refill shops» ie you take your own bottles or jars and refill from bulk containers will do pure peanut butter— you can watch it being ground down into mushand extruded.
Literally no additives of any sort.

I buy mani- life peanut butter. Two ingredients: peanuts and salt (0.3%).

I have this and love it too, though I admit I have the crunchy one.

Aldi and Lidl both sell large tubs of peanut butter, containing 100% peanuts

I like pip & nut crunchy though with chopped up banana on toasted sourdough 😋

I have Meridian. It’s manufactured in the UK, and has no additives at all if you get the no sugar/no salt version. None of their products contain palm oil. It does have the skins though, peanut butter is healthier with them on.

I buy this and it has no brown bits in it. Looks like Sunday but with no additions.

ALDI smooth peanut butter is just peanuts, nothing else.

Just an aside ... if any of you have dogs who adore peanut butter as much as mine does! Please don't give them any peanut butter which contains palm oil or xylitol (an artificial sweetener). Both are poisonous to dogs, but not to humans! Information passed to me by the Dog Trainer at puppy training classes. Just in case nobody has passed this information to any dog owners. 🐶

Whole Earth is nothing but peanuts

Morrisons do one made with just nuts. It is delicious!

And cheap too!

Another vote for Lidl's own 100% smooth peanut butter. No additives and I've never seen any "brown bits" in mine.

Aldi do a 1kg tub of 100%peanut butter for 3.99, brand name Grandessa. I've not noticed any bits. Lovely on rice cakes
