Wolfie's Nuts

As a young boy stomping around the old West End of Findlay, Ohio, William "Wolfie" Wolf was lucky enough to live near Mrs. "Maggie" Phillips' old white two-story house. Her first floor was a small store. It was a child's dream with its old creaky wooden floors, comic books, penny candy, and an aroma of fresh roasted nuts. For a returnable pop bottle he could get a small bag of those warm redskins or delicious cashews.

He eventually came to own the store and expand it into a thriving business all the while keeping a focus on the small batch, home-made quality that made Maggie's nuts so special.

But it was in 1996 that Wolfie along with brothers Don and Hillis Schieber began producing Fire Roasted Crunchy Nuts. Don and Hillis discovered this unique recipe/process in "Old Mexico", brought the recipe home, patented the process and then got together with Wolfies to exclusively produce these delicious nuts.

So what makes these Fire Roasted Crunchy Nuts so special? Always working in batches of no more than 25 pounds, they start by coating the nuts by hand with a mixture that, when roasted, adds the “crunchy” to the nuts. From there, they dry-roast them over an open flame (with no added oils!), then add one final coating … the secret recipe that will make your mouth sing!

These unique and delicious nuts are in our regular rotation with our Nut of the Month Club though we rotate year over year between cashews, almonds and several varieties of peanuts.
