Northern Ireland-based nut butter producer Keen Nutrition has launched a new 100% cashew nut butter in the UK and Ireland markets.
A new factory and investment in roasting technology has enabled the company to develop the new butter. Cashews are recognised as being rich in minerals such as iron, zinc and copper, lower in calories than other nuts and are packed with monosaturated fats, the company claimed.
Keen Nutrition co-founder Aimee Beimers said: “Our newest product to market is 100% cashew nut butter which has taken nearly six months of testing for us to get the product exactly right so we’re pleased that it’s now available for retail sale.
“We’re currently available in 29 independent retailers in England… our sales to England now account for approximately 15% of our total sales, with total export sales, including to the Republic of Ireland, accounting for 70% of our business.”
“Growth has been particularly strong in the Republic of Ireland as well as in Northern Ireland, with nearly 220 stores now selling Keen Nut Butter.”
