Macadamia nuts are the most expensive nuts and we only use top quality, local ingredients if available on island. We don’t dilute our Hawaiian Macadamia Nut Honey Butters with other less expensive nuts such as peanuts as many other companies do to keep costs down. We also use only the best raw Hawaiian honey. We get our macadamia nuts from the Big Island; the vanilla beans are grown on a small family farm on Oahu and we use 100% Kona Coffee beans from the Big Island of Hawaii. After turmeric, vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world. We keep our ingredients pure, raw, clean and as local as possible.
