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 two thousand pound sacks, 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 jars, quick.
New! 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."

Don't fear the peanut recall!
All the peanuts used by Koeze are grown in Virginia and then roasted, tinned and sold from their store in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These peanuts haven't been any where near the troubled plant in Georgia so eat and enjoy!
