SHAUN'S NUTS BAR
Attention to texture ... theres our products in a nutshell .. every ingredient is chopped, sieved, mixed, blended, dry-roasted or dehydrated to be just right with texture in mind.
Everything follows from there. We push forwards making changes that make the bars better.
Like using Coconut oil, or just deciding to carry on wrapping the way we do. Or taking the time to put quotes onto the bars. Increasing the amount of hazlenuts in the Original ..increasing the amount of Almonds in the Raw'zilla .. Adding baobab.. Adding Cacao butter. This is our thing. It can be more expensive to stand around talking for 10 minutes than push the bar higher on the ingredients..
This is where it all started in 2006 while attempting to finish Uni.
I was taught how to make flapjacks one evening by Beverley, while working at what was Story Deli, Truman Brewery, and it seemed obvious to me that the next thing would be to add another love, trail mix ingredients, to the Flapjack, creating my first baked Nuts, Seed & Fruit bar. Thats the ORIGINAL.
And I still make them today, not because of any foodie obsession, or a foodie background, but because it comes easy to me, I do it well, I enjoy it and the job has many of its own charms.
And for the sake of repeating myself .. it often feels like the bars make me and not the other way round.
There are now 5 flavours and of course other lines.
We do not use refined sugar in our products. We do use predominantly organic rice syrup & blackstrap molasses. Plus some honey and maple syrup.
Hand made, cut, wrapped & delivered. Given the lengths we go to in processing all the ingredients as we do .. there is simply nothing quiet the same available anywhere else.
Thinking of stocking nutbars? some more points to consider….
-
We offer a no quibble exchange for out of date bars with new ones, so you never lose-out on stock going out of date, and we work at keeping your stock fresh.
-
We note the percentage of all the ingredients used to better inform customers and to be transparent and open.
-
I deliver by bike and always have been.
-
Everything is handmade in small batches.
-
Our products are only available direct from us, straight from the kitchen.
-
There is no minimum order .. numbers can be worked out as we go.
-
There is no set RRP.. mark ups vary greatly across shops and cafes and your free to set the price accordingly.
-
Frequency of deliveries is also worked out as we go.. but you can expect this to be Friday ..
-
90% of our ingredients are bought through 'Infinity Foods Co-operative' and 'Community Foods' ..
-
Though not entirely, about 75% of our ingredients are in fact organic.
-
We do not use refined sugar .... the products we make are not so sweet, and using plenty of rice syrup and black strap molasses, as we do, they are not very acidic either, and are low on the G.I. compared with the many similar snacks available.
-
I can make and woodburn a plywood nutbar display box, if you would like one for your counter .. complete with your logo! ... check out instagram to see how this looks.
-
Lastly, there just is nothing quiet the same as a Shaun's nuts bar. So i'm told.
