Not All Ingredients Are Made Equal
We single source and specially select the finest nuts for nut butter making. These carefully chosen varieties are then expertly crafted into our delicious nut butters. This care continues in our other key ingredients like cocoa and oats, as we put sustainable sourcing at the forefront of our products
Tony's Open Chain Cocoa
From August 2024, 100% of the cocoa in our chocolate nut butter cups will be sourced through Tony’s Open Chain. For anyone new to the world of the big yellow button, the 5 Sourcing Principles used by Tony’s Open Chain mean all cocoa is 100% traceable, farmers are paid a higher price long-term which enables them to earn a living income and invest in productivity, driving down child labour and preventing deforestation.
Please note, as we make this transition as sustainably as possible some places, like our webshop, will continue using existing stock. We will let our Scurry community know once 100% of the webshop cups have moved to Tony’s Open Chain.

Hi-Oleic Peanuts
We have carefully selected the finest hi-oleic, Argentinian peanuts for our peanut butter. Also known as ‘runner peanuts’, their uniform size, golden colour and natural sweetness makes them perfect for peanut butter.
Our peanuts are specially sourced from the Cordoba region, where the sub-tropical climate and sandy soils are ideal for growing this naturally sweet and crunchy variety. Did you know that peanuts grow in the ground? Peanut growing is far from simple, across each lifecycle the multi-generational farmers we work with skilfully plant, flower, dig, harvest, process, clean, shell, short and size our nuts.

Californian Almonds
Our almonds are grown in the Californian San Joaquin Valley, where almonds have been growing since the mid-18th Century. Much like our peanuts, we have specially chosen just 4 out of 50 Californian varieties for their consistently delicious flavour and perfect size for roasting and blending.
Almond orchards, best known for their beautiful bloom which we were able to see on our visit in 2022, require a long-term commitment. A lifecycle for an almond tree is between 20-25 years and it takes 3 years for almonds to bloom and be harvested. That's why we're particularly proud to be sourcing our almonds from a single supplier who is working in line with sustainable farming principles and the CASP framework, a gold standard assessment for sustainable farming.
