I am such a sucker for packaging. I'm pretty sure that's probably what got me to
mail order peanut butter!?! I saw a brief write-up for
Big Spoon Roasters in
Bon Appetit—along with
a cookie recipe—and click, click, clicked my way through to two jars of heavenly goodness. Curses to the 21st century because now I am addicted.
Based in Durham, NC, Big Spoon makes artisanal, hand-crafted nut butters laced with the perfect trace of sweetness from wildflower honey. I ordered the
Peanut (my favorite of the two) and
Peanut Pecan. I will not divulge how long they lasted in the house.
A dear friend from Ann Arbor moved to Chapel Hill for the summer, so of course I pointed her to the Big Spoon. She rewarded me by delivering two jars on a recent return visit. I can't wait to try the Peanut Cocoa—so new it's not even listed on their web site.
But who will be my next mule?!?
