About Bega Peanut Butter
Bega Peanut Butter is made in Port Melbourne and marketed as Australia's favourite peanut butter on a "never oily, never dry" recipe. Bega added a whipped version in its 2025 financial year, one of the launches it credited for branded growth, while separately finishing a strategic review of its Peanut Company of Australia business and announcing an exit from the Kingaroy and Tolga peanut sites.
