Founder Antoine van Heerden’s school holidays were spent harvesting macadamia nuts on his parent’s farm on the banks of the Sabie River. South Africa is the largest producer of Macadamia nuts in the world, predominantly exporting to China. During Antoine’s final year of Mechanical Engineering at Stellenbosch University, he started roasting, blending and selling over the weekends at a local Slowfood Market. Antoine enrolled for his Masters in 2014 but before the end of the summer, had dropped out to focus on ButtaNutt full time.
Production is in a company owned facility in Paarl, which is free of any other allergens including Peanuts. ButtaNutt’s spreads and snacks are made with a minimalist philosophy, free from any added sugars, preservatives, stabilizers or oils.
“ButtaNutt is a health food, but it’s also delicious. The perfect balance!” The ButtaNutt range is made with dry-roasted tree nuts – macadamias, almonds, pecans and cashews.
We pride ourselves in sourcing only the finest local nuts, farm direct if possible. Our pecan nuts are farmed on the banks of the Orange River, our almonds are from the Klein Karoo, while our macadamias are sourced from farmers and their processors in Mpumalanga.
