Our roasted nuts are an energy, amino acid and protein-rich snack designed to taste great with coffee, tea, beer and wine.

Olomomo Nuts are coming soon to a coffee shop, smoothie shop, grocery store, outdoor sporting goods store near you. 

The Olomomo Origin Story

It’s pretty simple, really.

Inspired by Steve the nut guy at a farmers market in DC, I moved back to my hometown of Boulder, CO and bought a nut roaster. After hours of experimentation, some luck, and lots of input from my creative wife and foodie friends, the Olomomo nut was born.
 
As soon as we set up the first Olomomo farmer’s market stand in Boulder, CO, we started hearing  “these are the best nuts I’ve ever tasted.” Not long after, we started to distribute through coffee shops, were featured on the Cooking Channel, and are now launching a national nut brand.
 
Olomomo has helped my wife and I start to achieve a dream of having a socially responsible business that involves traveling the world (not just for amazing spices and nuts but for adventure, too) and promoting fair trade and human rights. Whenever possible Olomomo strives to use sustainable packaging and organic and fair trade ingredients.

So here’s to your health, and may these wild, exotic, healthful nuts fuel your adventures, inspire your creative juices, and awaken your senses!

Sustainability Commitment.

Olomomo is committed to creating the healthiest flavored nuts on the market with minimal environmental impact.  It hasn't been super easy - we have been using biodegradable packaging for a year and a half and already had a lot of trouble with using biodegradable cellophane bags for our smaller sized products.  Unfortunately, the bags broke too easily, and it turns out that producing cellophane isn't so good for the environment.

So - we switched to polypropylene bags for the time being.  We're still working on a packaging solution that we're proud of, but for now, if you care about the packaging (like we do), the coffee bags we use for our 10 oz bags are still backyard compostable (biodegradable).
