Pip & Nut is expanding its product portfolio with an exceptionally rich peanut butter—in terms of flavor and texture—called Super Roasted, Extra Crunchy. The new peanut butter product was developed to offer a more intense taste profile to consumers, and the deeper flavor is achieved by roasting Argentinian hi-oleic peanuts for longer and at a higher temperature, as well as leaving more chunky pieces in the finished product. Like all other Pip & Nut peanut butters, this one is free from palm oil, refined sugar and additives.
According to Pippa Murray, Founder of Pip & Nut, "The way you roast, just like with coffee or chocolate, has a huge impact on the final taste of the product, so to create this new variant, we spent a long time perfecting both our roast time and temperature."
