Royal Hawaiian Orchards Introduces Macadamia Nut Butter and Spread

Royal Hawaiian Macadamia Nut, creator of nutritiously Hawaiian island harvested macadamia nut foods, has introduced buttery-rich Royal Hawaiian Orchards All-Natural Creamy Macadamia Butter and Royal Hawaiian Orchards Dark Chocolate Macadamia Spread. Crafted with the brand’s signature macadamias locally grown and cultivated in the volcanic soil of Hilo, Hawaii, the lineup combines indulgent flavor with a smooth buttery consistency. A fresh take on traditional nut butters, the products will hit shelves nationwide in August 2016 at select conventional grocers and natural food stores.

“Nut butters have exploded on shelves nationwide, and because our fans love the authentic, satisfying taste of our real macadamia-based products, creating these unique, creamy varieties was a natural next step for our brand,” says Scott Wallace, president of Royal Hawaiian Macadamia Nut. “Macadamia nuts were once thought of as a gourmet item reserved for special occasions, and we’re thrilled to continue to innovate in ways that make the nutritional benefits and decadent taste of macadamias accessible to everyone. Offering endless versatility to any dish or snack, both sweet and savory, our nut butter and dark chocolate spread are perfect for spreading, dipping, and enjoying by the spoonful.”

A better-for-you nut butter, the All-Natural Creamy Macadamia Butter contains roasted macadamias without added salt or oil that are ground to a creamy perfection and is a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats—the same healthy fats found in avocados. The vegan and paleo-friendly nut butter also contains no dairy, soy, lactose, cholesterol, gluten or wheat. The Dark Chocolate Macadamia Spread combines the bold taste of dark chocolate with the buttery taste of real macadamias as a sweet indulgence ideal for eating straight from the jar or atop fruit or baked foods. Both specialty products are Non-GMO Project Verified and OU Kosher, with a retail price of $17.50/12-ounce glass jar.

The All-Natural Creamy Macadamia Butter and Dark Chocolate Macadamia Spread join the brand’s existing portfolio of delicious macadamia nut-based snacks, including: Macadamia Milk, Roasted Macadamias, Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamias and Fruit & Macadamia Crunches.
