Bula! We’re so glad you’re here.

We’re the Pickering Family – creators, owners and operators of Island Style Peanut Butter.

You could say we’re nuts about peanuts! We’re also crazy about coconuts and passionate about people. And that’s exactly how we ended up crafting our very own peanut butter, right here in Fiji.

It all began three years ago. We were visiting our family in Fiji and were on the hunt for a natural, wholesome peanut butter to satisfy our tastebuds – and the appetite of our growing boys. We struggled to find anything suitable…. So, we made our own!

Our combination of roasted peanuts – purchased from a roadside stall – and a hint of the delicious coconut oil Fiji is known for, made for a delicious treat. We couldn’t get enough of it!

We headed back to New Zealand but took our new-found recipe with us and continued to create our coconut peanut butter to enjoy at home – and to share with friends and family. It turned out other people loved the unique taste of our homemade peanut butter just as much as we did. So, we started selling it at markets and, eventually, in a few local supermarkets and cafes.

Fast forward to 2020 and, just like countless families worldwide, the pandemic changed the course of our lives. We decided this was the perfect time to return to Gary’s homeland: Fiji. As a family, we strongly believe in the notion of ‘You Only Live Once’ – so we resettled our lives in beautiful Fiji and started crafting our Island Style Peanut Butter right here, using high-quality ingredients we know you’ll love.

What makes Island Style so special?

We’re so glad you asked! We’re very pleased to be able to tell you, Island Style is crafted right here in Fiji and is proudly owned and operated by…. us! Our connection with the land, and our local community, is something we thrive on – it makes everything we do worthwhile.

This means that when our people (that’s you!) tell us what they think, we listen.

Recently, this has seen us refine our much-loved Coconut Peanut Butter recipe to ensure an even better product for you – our customer. Not to mention, it’s now more delicious than ever.

Whether you’re a fan of crunchy, smooth or chocolate-y peanut butter, you’ll love the unique taste of Island Style’s high oleic peanuts and coconut oil with a sprinkle of sea salt and crunchy coconut flakes.
