OUR STORY
WE MAY BE NUTS.
BUT WE GIVE
A DAMN.
Drive Me Nuts runs on one slightly obsessive idea: a spread should taste like what it’s made of. So the nuts come first. At least half of every jar, always. Then we add a twist and make the whole thing ourselves, in Nivelles, Belgium.

OUR WHY
SPREADS WERE STUCK BETWEEN TOO PROCESSED AND TOO BORING.
On one shelf: sugary jars where the nuts are more of a rumour. On the other: worthy pastes that taste a bit like homework. We wanted the spot in between. Real nuts, lots of them, and the kind of flavour that sends you back for one more spoon.
So we built a whole brand around that. Bold recipes, short ingredient lists, nothing to hide.
NUTS AREN’T THE FLAVOURING. THEY’RE THE WHOLE POINT.
NO HIDING BEHIND “WITH NUTS”
THE 50% RULE.
Every jar is at least half nuts. Most go way further. Here’s the real share, recipe by recipe, straight from our ingredient lists.
HANDMADE IN NIVELLES
MADE BY US, START TO FINISH
NO MIDDLEMAN BETWEEN THE NUT AND YOUR SPOON.
We don’t outsource the fun part. In our workshop in Nivelles, we roast, grind, mix and fill every single jar ourselves. Small batches, our own recipes, our own hands on every step.
Our nuts are roasted without a drop of oil. Just heat, which wakes up all their flavour. And every extra that goes in after that has a job, which we’re always happy to explain.
THE HONEST BIT
WAIT, WHO’S NATURE SNACKS?
Good question. Nature Snacks is the team behind Drive Me Nuts: about twenty people in Nivelles who work organic nuts in every form you can think of. Roasted, caramelised, ground into butters, rolled into energy balls.
Drive Me Nuts is where we let them get loud.
WE SOURCE THEM
Our nuts come in through Kasana, our own import brand. That’s how we buy straight from producers and know how every nut was harvested.
WE MAKE THEM
Every Drive Me Nuts jar is roasted, ground, mixed and filled by our team, in our own workshop in Nivelles.
WE SELL THEM
You’ll find our jars mostly in organic shops across Belgium, and on our webshop, where you buy straight from the people who make them.
WE ANSWER FOR THEM
A question about an ingredient, an allergen or an order? It lands with the same team that made your jar.
FROM FARM TO JAR
WHERE OUR NUTS COME FROM.
All our nuts are imported by Kasana, the import side of our company. In Burkina Faso, our peanuts and cashews come from our own supply chain: we buy straight from the farmers’ cooperative, walk the orchards with them, and know exactly how and in what conditions every harvest was picked.
Our other nuts come through partner supply chains that share our values. Our hazelnuts from Turkey, almonds from Italy and Spain, and pistachios from Spain are all grown by cooperatives of small family farms. Everything is certified organic.

OUR VISION
BRING BACK THE BALANCE.
Food doesn’t have to choose between over-processed and painfully bland. We’re out to prove a spread can be honest and still make you lick the spoon. Four things keep us on track.
INDULGENCE
Flavour first. If it doesn’t make you go “oh wow”, it doesn’t get a jar.
SIMPLICITY
Short ingredient lists you can read without a dictionary.
CREATIVITY
A cinnamon roll you can spread? Yes. Obviously.
TRANSPARENCY
What you see is what you spoon.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU SPOON
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Mostly because organic nuts are expensive. Seriously expensive. And we use a lot of them: at least half of every jar. Spreads get cheaper when nuts make way for sugar and oil. Ours don’t.
Because chocolate, caramel and praliné don’t happen without it. A spoonful of sugar is what turns roasted nuts into a treat. It always comes after the nuts on the ingredient list, never before. And if you’d rather skip it, Homestyle Creamy and Crunchy Crunch are just peanuts and a pinch of salt.
It’s an organic emulsifier made from sunflower seeds. A tiny bit keeps the nut oil and the chocolate together, so your jar stays smooth instead of splitting. You’ll only find it in our chocolate recipes: Choconut, MOKA, Cocotello and Hot Hot Choco.
No. Not in a single jar.
Palm oil is cheap and everywhere, but large plantations are a major driver of tropical deforestation. And honestly, we don’t need it: our nuts bring their own natural oil, and when a recipe needs a little extra creaminess, we use organic sunflower oil.
Mostly in organic shops across Belgium, and on our webshop. Delivery is free from €40.
