Nuttelex boasts 65% less saturated fat and 55% less salt that your typical block of butter, and can be used to saute vegetables, butter potatoes or corn, make sauces, or can simply be spread on top of toast.

Nuttelex is available for P259 in The Landmark (Makati and Alabang branches) and Merkado Supermarket in UP Town Center.
