Big Spoon Roasters - Vanilla Caramel Almond & Cashew Butter
Category: Nut Butters
Allergen Info: Contains almonds, cashews, and coconut. May contain traces of peanuts and other tree nuts.
We set out to create a vegan caramel nut butter so that our vegan and lactose-intolerant friends could enjoy the uniquely delicious, sweet creaminess of caramel. After years of research and experimentation, we had our “eureka moment” when we combined coconut nectar, maple and vanilla, which converge to create a rich, toasty caramel flavor that is 100% vegan and free of refined sugars. Handcrafted from heirloom Mission almonds, Organic cashews, Organic maple syrup, Organic coconut nectar, vanilla, and a touch of Jacobsen sea salt, Vanilla Caramel Almond & Cashew Butter is the sweet-leaning nut butter you’ve been looking for, but only 2 g of added low-glycemic sugar per serving. We love this nut butter on slices of apples or pears, spread thickly on warm toast, in oatmeal, and of course, as a dip for our favorite dark chocolate bars.
They might be the best-tasting almonds in the world, but Mission almonds are also nutrition powerhouses, offering vitamin E, magnesium, and 20% more protein than other almond varieties. In addition, they require less water for cultivation, making them a more environmentally sustainable choice. Unlike many almond butter makers out there, we mill our almonds with their anti-inflammatory skins intact, further boosting their antioxidants and heart-healthy fiber in our nut butters.
We've sampled cashews from all over, and these Certified Organic, fair-labor-certified cashews from a community of growers in Vietnam are the best we have ever tasted. In addition to their uniquely delicious flavor and texture, cashews are also great sources of heart-healthy fats, protein, and anti-inflammatory minerals. Specifically, the magnesium in cashews has been shown to help with nerve function, improve sleep quality, and dampen symptoms of anxiety.
INGREDIENTS: heirloom mission almonds, organic cashews, organic maple syrup, organic coconut nectar, vanilla, Jacobsen sea salt.

OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD A HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR PLANET THROUGH DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS FOODS MADE WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
We believe that food matters. It should be good for the people who eat it, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet.
Mark and Megan Overbay have long been passionate about making delicious food centered around culinary craft, integrity, and sustainability. The inspiration for doing so through nut butter originated from Mark’s experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zimbabwe, where he missed his favorite food – peanut butter – and decided to make his own. By hand crushing locally grown peanuts and mixing in salt, honey and coconut oil, he made one of the best things he’d ever tasted. Back in Durham, North Carolina, he and his wife, Megan, who had already built a local following for her homemade energy bars, wanted to share that small-batch, handcrafted approach to food with others, and by doing so, build a business based on culinary craft, integrity, and sustainability. Big Spoon Roasters launched their lines of small-batch, handmade nut butters and snack bars in January 2011.
