Koeze Cream Nut Peanut Butter
America's best — right under our noses.
We found this peanut butter almost right next door in Grand Rapids, MI, home of Steelcase furniture. Like most of the simple great foods in our catalog (I'm thinking of polenta), it’s the result of a lot of care and very little processing. Jeff Koeze sources good Virginia peanuts, brings them up north in 2,000-pound sacks and then blanches them to remove the skins and keep them from going rancid (a common flaw in a lot of natural peanut butters, I think). He roasts and grinds them in vintage coffee roasters then adds a bit of salt. The result is not an air-whipped, sugar-filled concoction but a natural, intense, velvety, mouthwatering sensation that sells out regularly. Get a couple of jars, quick. Crunchy: Same great peanuts for those of you who like it chunky.
"Coarsely ground in small batches and lightly seasoned with sea salt, it is neither creamy nor chunky but totally irresistible."
