A: Every jar of Fix & Fogg peanut butter is made from start to finish in the factory in Wellington. From designing the labels to the carefully blended peanut butter, Roman and Andrea are completely hands-on throughout the entire process. The award-winning peanut butters are so popular because people can taste the difference in a product that’s handmade by humans who care about quality. Fix & Fogg is constantly pushing the boundaries of what peanut butter can be and trying new things – an example of this is the Smoke and Fire peanut butter.

Q: Who is the consumer and what benefit does the product bring them?

A: The peanut butter is popular with everyone from children to grandparents. Peanut butter is a naturally nutritious food packed full of goodness. Too often however, companies take shortcuts and fill it with preservatives, additives, emulsifiers, foreign oils, sugar, and lots of salt. Fix & Fogg peanut butter is simple and healthy: golden roasted hi-oleic peanuts and a sparing amount of organic Marlborough sea salt. Hi-oleic peanuts are a special type of peanut known for their great flavour and high levels (39 percent) of monounsaturated fats –that’s the good stuff, like the type found in olive oil – which has been linked to reducing cardiovascular disease and lowering cholesterol.

Q: What consumer trend does the product support?

A: Consumers are increasingly health conscious and Fix & Fogg peanut butters support this trend. The Dark Chocolate, for example, provides a healthier alternative to other mass-produced chocolate spreads, and is popular with children and adults alike. n For more information please contact info@fixandfogg.co.nz or call +64 021 190 5695

They are also freshly squeezed fruit drinks, not from concentrate, with up to 50 percent less sugar than other drinks. The company buys its fruit from growers all over the country, and squeeze most of it themselves using a machine imported from Italy. From an initial production of 1100 litres, which equates to 3500 bottles, Pete’s Natural has grown to the stage where they are now selling that amount every day. As a result, they set up their own facility two years ago, where they now control the entire process – including bottling. This decision has paid off, as it has allowed production expansion and offers more product for the New Zealand market as well as looking to the export market, as the brand
