Located in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg is The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg, the place where our own "founding fathers" began. It was in that tiny shop where the small batch, hand-cooked roasting techniques were developed & perfected. While the shop is still there, The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg has long since moved it’s roasting kitchen to larger confines just north of Williamsburg while staying true to the original cooking traditions.

Although there have been many changes since The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg first opened its doors, what hasn't changed is the extraordinary, crunchy flavor resulting from time honored roasting methods. Peanut Shop peanuts still achieve their legendary flavor and crunchiness as a result of time honored cooking practices. The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg begins with only premium quality, super extra large Virginia peanuts, hand selected for their size. These peanuts are first water blanched, which gives them their fresh & unique crunchiness, and then small batch roasted in 100% pure peanut oil under the direct supervision of our Roastmaster. They are carefully vacuum packaged and held in a climatized storage facility and then shipped directly to the customer.
