Durham's Craft Nut Butter Maker
Mark Overbay founded Big Spoon Roasters in Durham, North Carolina in 2012 with a philosophy that good nut butter requires just two ingredients: roasted nuts and a touch of local honey. No palm oil, no hydrogenated oils, no refined sugar, no unnecessary stabilizers. The butters are made at the Durham production facility, where nuts are roasted in-house to develop flavor before grinding.
Durham's position in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina connects Big Spoon to a food community that values craft production and transparent sourcing. The brand sells primarily through specialty grocery, natural food stores, and direct-to-consumer channels that attract buyers who want to know where their food comes from and how it's made.
Whole Roasted Nuts, Local Honey
Big Spoon's differentiator is in-house roasting — the nuts are roasted at the Durham facility, not pre-roasted by a supplier. This control over roasting temperature and duration allows Overbay to develop flavor compounds that don't survive the standardized processing used in commodity nut butters. The result is a nut butter with noticeably more complex flavor than grocery store alternatives.
The product line spans classic almond and peanut butters through inventive combinations like Espresso Almond Butter and Toasted Coconut Almond Butter. Each variety maintains the core commitment: whole roasted nuts, local honey, no refined sugar. For buyers who want nut butter made in a Durham kitchen with American-sourced ingredients, Big Spoon Roasters delivers consistent craft quality.
