About The Nutty Peanut

‘Our Story’, is rather simple, just like our ingredients. Michael Della Pia and Michael “Mick” Rivera met on the music scene in Central NJ(93). Michael was a well-known drummer in the area & Mick was a crazy kid with aspirations of being a singer. Mick made a guest appearance with a mutual friend’s band and Michael along with 2 other musician friends, asked Mick if he wanted to start a new band called “THIS”, they went on to make two 8 song demos & gain a few fans along the way. Eventually the band parted ways and in some ways lost contact. Michael & Mick would reconnect some years later and find that they were still the best of friends and, in fact, shared another passion in common… PEANUT BUTTER. They could both reflect on times in their past when things were very challenging and putting food on the table was sometimes nearly impossible, and a good peanut butter sandwich was a meal staple. It also occurred to them that PB had been there in great times as well, and they recalled fondly how a good PB sandwich could transport one right back to their childhood. Michael offered the idea of creating HEALTHY small batch craft nut butters with fun flavors called THE NUTTY PEANUT & in 2017, Mick would move to Florida and start The Nutty Peanut as a full-time business with Michael. Together, they would take the passion & creativity that bonded them as musicians & bring it into the kitchen to craft some unique and healthy nut butters. Great friends creating great things.
