Staff Picks Seasonal Nut Butter Trio
At Big Spoon Roasters, we’re passionate about a few things—great food, preserving our planet, and perhaps most importantly, the good people behind it all. Lucky for us, our team is full of amazing individuals that make the magic happen every day, and we can’t think of any better way to share more about them than through their favorite nut butters.
Our Spring/Summer 2026 Staff Picks Trio is curated by Production Team Member, Maria! Maria has been part of our team since August 2024, roasting, milling, mixing, and crafting each of our nut butter and bar recipes with an attention to detail that’s second to none. If you’ve ordered anything from us in the past two years, chances are, Maria’s had a (literal) hand in creating it, with unwavering care and intention. Maria adds so much fun, joy, and positivity to our team, and we're excited to highlight her Big Spoon favorites in this Staff Picks Trio!
Maria's Trio contains one 13oz jar and six bars, respectively, of the following (her words about each in italics):
Cherry Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars: Es my barra favorita y la de mi hijo también. Tiene la cantidad perfecta de chocolate para ser una barra dulce pero saludable y deliciosa. | This is my son’s and my favorite bar! It has the perfect amount of chocolate for a sweet, yet still healthy and delicious bar.
Lemon Cookie Cashew Butter: Es demasiado buena! | It's just so good!
Vanilla Caramel Almond & Cashew Butter
Fue como Amor a primera vista! Es la número uno (or #1) de muchas de mis mantequillas favoritas.
| [With Vanilla Caramel] it was like love at first sight. It’s #1 of my many favorite nut butters.
More about Maria:
Outside of Big Spoon, you can still find Maria making magic in the kitchen, cooking and baking for her family and loved ones, especially when they’re all together. And as we can attest from the chocoflan and churro cheesecake, among other treats, that she’s brought in to share with the team during lunch breaks or meetings, Maria has a keen talent for creating something truly nourishing for both body and soul.
Maria’s favorite part of her job is collaborating with other team members to create the best nut butters and bars to world-class, exacting standards. Her main goal, even beyond Big Spoon, is to serve as a role model and mentor to others, and, as we’re inspired by Maria’s commitment each day, we can say she’s already well on her way!
As our Production Manager Kirby said, “Maria is truly a joy to work with. Her deep knowledge and background in food and ingredients shine through her work. She also loves sharing recipes from her culture and makes some of the best desserts I’ve ever had!” We couldn’t say it better ourselves and are so lucky to have Maria on our team!
Get her Trio now through October 15, 2026.

INGREDIENT INTEGRITY
Each ingredient we use is carefully sourced based on our strict standards for taste, sustainability, transparency, and the fair and ethical treatment of everyone involved in producing it. Most of our ingredients are Certified Organic and all are GMO-free. We work exclusively with whole, natural foods, and you won’t find gluten, soy, or anything described as a “flavor” among our ingredients. We also never use fillers or shelf stabilizers like palm oil, hydrogenated oils, or partially hydrogenated oils.
SMALL-BATCH CRAFT
Our skilled food artisans roast, toast, measure, and mix each batch by hand to exacting standards to get the pinnacle of taste and freshness from each ingredient. The small scale of our batch process allows us to craft each jar and bar with incredible precision and care you can taste. This level of focus also allows us to carefully inspect and taste each product to make sure it meets our standards before it is packaged and delivered. Our commitment to keeping production in-house ensures the highest quality standards while also creating sustainable jobs for our team.
SUSTAINABILITY
OUR ZERO-WASTE APPROACH
We know our environmental footprint and work toward zero-waste operations. Most days, we come very close. We also contribute positively to the communities we touch – through fiscal and in-kind donations - from farm to spoon. Our community support takes many forms, with one of the most tangible being our Community Blend donation program.
