Vini Mini and De Pindakaaswinkel launch the very first 100% Dutch peanut butter

Taste the very first peanut butter from the Netherlands now

Our search for the best peanuts has resulted in the very first 100% Dutch peanut butter! Dutch Peanut Butter is a collaboration between Vini Mini, De Pindakaaswinkel and farmer Anniek. A project that should ensure fewer Minis with a peanut allergy, even more brilliant peanut butter and a healthy future for farmers in the Netherlands.
You can even taste the very first peanut butter from the Netherlands for free in one of the fourteen peanut butter shops.

Farmer Anniek

Nederlandse Pindakaas starts with Anniek Huijbregts from Reusel. For years, her family has been growing potatoes, onions and vegetables. But enterprising as she is, she is thinking about growing peanuts. After a test in her vegetable garden, she plants a hectare full of six different varieties of peanuts in 2020. Two of the six take root, and although the harvest is limited, the experiment is a success.

Wine Mini

Vini Mini would like to use the Dutch peanuts from the 2021 harvest in their baby products. In their fight against food allergies in children, they are looking for first-class peanuts with the smallest possible ecological footprint and as few heavy metals and aflatoxins as possible. Peanut allergies can lead to life-threatening reactions and put a great deal of pressure on healthcare and society. By giving children these super-safe peanuts at a very young age, up to 80% of later allergies can be prevented. Laurie, one of the founders, has experienced this herself with her son. Together with Jozien, she founded Vini Mini to contribute to a healthy, happy and carefree life for mothers and their Minis in the first 1000 days, based on their own experience.

The Peanut Butter Shop

At De Pindakaaswinkel, they are also bouncing with enthusiasm. Dutch peanuts fit in well with the company objectives. They give farmers a prospect of a healthy future, and cultivation can contribute to the balance of natural agriculture. Great. Doing it yourself also means that De Pindakaaswinkel is no longer dependent on the uniformity on the world market. How great would it be if you could grow unique varieties yourself, especially for peanut butter? Especially in the Netherlands, no one eats more peanut butter than we do. Growing, drying, storing, mixing peanut butter yourself: the possibilities would be endless, and the world would be full of brilliant jars of the tastiest peanut butter.

The peanuts from the first harvest are peeled by hand and roasted in the oven. It is still too little to sell per jar, but everyone can come and taste the first Dutch peanut butter for free in one of the Peanut Butter Shops.
