Lovingly made by the Pickering Family – creators, owners and operators of Island Style Peanut Butter.
You could say they’re nuts about peanuts! They’re also crazy about coconuts and passionate about people. And that’s exactly how they ended up crafting their very own peanut butter, right here in Fiji.
It all began three years ago. They were visiting their family in Fiji and were on the hunt for a natural, wholesome peanut butter to satisfy their tastebuds – and the appetite of their growing boys. Struggling to find anything suitable…. They made their own!\
Their combination of roasted peanuts – purchased from a roadside stall – and a hint of the delicious coconut oil Fiji is known for, made for a delicious treat. We couldn’t get enough of it!
They headed back to New Zealand but took their new-found recipe with them and continued to create coconut peanut butter to enjoy at home – and to share with friends and family. It turned out other people loved the unique taste of the homemade peanut butter just as much as we all did. So,they started selling it at markets and, eventually, in a few local supermarkets and cafes.
Fast forward to 2020 and, just like countless families worldwide, the pandemic changed the course of their lives. They decided this was the perfect time to return to Gary’s homeland: Fiji. As a family, they strongly believe in the notion of ‘You Only Live Once’ – so they resettled their lives in beautiful Fiji and started crafting their Island Style Peanut Butter right here, using high-quality ingredients we know you’ll love.
