Nutchio: Gourmet Nut Butters Beyond Peanut
22 Sep
Summary
- Company crafts creamy butters from pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans.
- Founded by a couple seeking familiar flavors from Egypt.
- Products are available fresh, stamped with production dates.

Sahar Shady and Ehab Morad, inspired by their upbringing in Egypt, founded Nutchio to address the scarcity of gourmet nut butters beyond traditional peanut and almond varieties. Operating from Dorchester's CommonWealth Kitchen, the company specializes in rich, creamy spreads made from pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans.
Nutchio offers its nut butters in two forms: 100 percent ground nuts or lightly sweetened versions infused with spices, cacao, or vanilla. The unique flavors, like earthy pistachio and woodsy walnut, can be enjoyed in various ways, from topping toast to being a creative substitute for peanut butter in a classic jelly sandwich.
In addition to their signature nut butters, Nutchio also produces tahini and halva. Each eight-ounce jar is stamped with its production date, assuring customers of freshness. The products are available for purchase at select Boston-area retailers and online.
