BPA Free USDA Organic 100% Organic, Raw & Stone Ground Stone Ground Goodness Non GMO Gluten-Free Gourmet Artisan Quality Smooth Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth Dastony uses an ancient method known as stone-grinding in creating the world's finest organic nut and seed butters. Originally used for turning olives into luscious and delicious olive oil, stone-grinding applies pressure with powerful, perfectly smooth granite wheels. Although "old world" in its approach, it is revolutionary in terms of preserving nutrients and flavor. Only the finest organic raw hazelnuts are used in every handcrafted batch to create a gourmet and silky smooth nut butter. Attention to artisan methods is something we at Dastony take great pride in.Dastony
