93 years young

Nuttelex was founded with a simple mission—to provide a delicious, dairy-free alternative to traditional butter. At a time when plant-based options were almost unheard of, we became a pioneer in Australian food innovation, offering a spread that delivered on both taste and quality. What started as a small Melbourne-based operation quickly grew as more Australians embraced our smooth, creamy, and versatile spread.

As Nuttelex gained popularity, we remained committed to improving and refining our recipe to ensure it met the evolving needs of Australian families. Our plant-based philosophy became the foundation of everything we do, and our dedication to quality ingredients and great taste has remained unchanged for over 90 years.

During World War II, Nuttelex played a unique role in supporting ANZAC troops, providing a much-needed alternative to butter when dairy shortages were widespread. Our plant-based spread became a reliable staple in ration packs, offering soldiers a familiar taste of home while on the frontlines. At a time when access to fresh food was limited, Nuttelex helped ensure a source of nutrition without relying on dairy.

This period solidified our reputation as a trusted Australian brand, one that adapts to meet the needs of its people. While times have changed, our commitment to providing accessible, high-quality alternatives remains as strong as ever.

As awareness of food allergies grew, we recognised the importance of making Nuttelex safe for more people to enjoy. We made the decision to remove all traces of nuts from our production, ensuring our spreads were completely nut-free and allergy-friendly. This change meant that more households, schools, and food service providers could trust Nuttelex as a safe and delicious option for everyone.

By prioritising inclusivity and food safety, we set a new standard in plant-based spreads. Today, Nuttelex remains 100% nut-free, giving families peace of mind while delivering the same great taste and versatility that Australians love.

Innovation is at the heart of Nuttelex, and our iconic cube-shaped pack is proof of that. Designed with convenience in mind, the cube format makes Nuttelex easier to store, stack, and scoop, reducing waste and making it a practical addition to any fridge. Unlike traditional tubs, the cube shape allows for efficient storage and better use of space, whether at home or in commercial kitchens.

More than just a packaging change, this design reflects our commitment to sustainability and efficiency. By continuously improving the way we deliver Nuttelex, we ensure that our customers get the best experience while minimising our environmental impact.

Sustainability is a core value at Nuttelex, and we take action to protect the natural world and its wildlife. As part of our ongoing commitment, we partnered with Orangutan Foundation International Australia, supporting their efforts to preserve rainforests and orangutan habitats. Through this initiative, we contribute to the protection of endangered species while promoting more sustainable sourcing practices.

By making conscious choices in our ingredients and production, Nuttelex remains dedicated to reducing environmental harm. Our work with conservation groups is just one way we continue to give back, ensuring a better future for both people and the planet.

As Nuttelex evolved, we expanded beyond spreads, introducing a range of UHT plant milks and liquid stocks. With more people looking for dairy-free and plant-based options, we saw an opportunity to bring our expertise in quality, taste, and innovation into new areas of the market.

This expansion allows us to offer more choices to those seeking plant-based alternatives, all while maintaining the high standards Nuttelex is known for. Whether in spreads, milks, or stocks, our commitment remains the same, to create delicious, high-quality, and sustainable products that everyone can enjoy.
