Theo Chocolate Selects CB’s Nuts’ Fresh, Organic Peanut Butter As Key Confection Ingredient

Dec. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Kingston, WA – Locally-owned, small batch roaster CB’s Nuts announced today that CB’s PB, an all natural, fresh roasted organic peanut butter, is now a key ingredient in three Theo Chocolate products. CB’s PB is being used in Peanut Butter Big Daddy, Peanut Butter Buddies and two flavors of Theo Confections: peanut butter and peanut butter and jelly.

“We are thrilled to be working with CB’s Nuts and using CB’s PB in our product line,” said Becky Buck Douville, one of the chocolatiers at Theo Chocolate. “Their organic peanut butter has an unsurpassed fresh flavor that truly shines in our confections. The fact that they share our commitment to social and environmental responsibility is even more reason to love their product.”

CB’s Nuts’ certified organic facility in Kingston, Washington, procures raw organic Valencia peanuts grown in New Mexico. The nuts are roasted to a golden brown in custom made barrel roasters, cooled, ground into peanut butter, and delivered fresh to Theo Chocolate’s Seattle chocolate factory. Reducing the time between roasting and use in the confections ensures that the peanut butter flavors are utilized at their peak.

“Just as Theo Chocolate has set out to change our relationship with chocolate, we are on a mission to change the way people think about nuts, especially peanuts,” stated Tami Bowen, President of CB’s Nuts. “We are proud to carry Theo Chocolate in our retail store and look forward to future collaboration on ways to strengthen the marriage of chocolate and nuts that is good for the palate, the planet and the soul.”

Peanut Butter Big Daddy, Peanut Butter Buddies and the peanut butter Theo Confections can be purchased at CB’s Nuts Kingston, Washington retail store or at Theo Chocolate’s Seattle, Washington retail store.
