Local area couple Craig and Gay Jones launched Savory Addictions Gourmet Nuts in October of 2011, after friends, coworkers and total strangers kept asking for more after sampling test batches. The sweet, savory and smoky flavor is unlike anything found on the market today, and took over five years to perfect. Many describe the taste as reminiscent of nights around a campfire…cozy, comforting, exciting.
According to co-owner Craig Jones, “It’s a flavor-pop in your mouth.” The formulation was born of his passion for producing great flavor over live fire. Jones cooks over live fire 300-plus days of the year, even during Kansas City’s extreme weather swings.
In honor of Valenitnes Day, Savory Addictions has created a sweet blend. The Sweet Addictions blend contains, Savory Addictions signature smoked nuts, a new seasoning, dark bittersweet chocolate, and tart Montmorency cherries. This Sweet Addictions blend is only available for a limited time.
Savory Addictions Gourmet Nuts are currently available in the Kansas City area at Cellar Rat Wine Merchants (Kansas City), Dodge City Beef (Shawnee), and Olive Tree (Overland Park), as well as online at www.SavoryAddictions.com.
