Ground almonds, sometimes nothing else. Oil separation is normal; the fat is also what puts it at a year rather than two.
How long it keeps
Unopened, this keeps a year — which is what puts it on the long shelf.

Counted from the date on the package. Figures are the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper table's, for unopened storage at room temperature; FoodKeeper counts a month as 30 days.
FoodKeeper's own note: When stored in the pantry, almond butter may become hard and the natural oil may separate and float to the top; this is perfectly normal. To reincorporate the natural almond oils into the almond butter, simply mix it manually or with a hand mixer.
The table was not pulled from USDA — fsis.usda.gov answers 403 to non-browser clients from this machine — so it came from a mirror of the data.gov dataset and its vintage is unverified. Treat a single figure as indicative, not as a use-by date.
