Peppertux Pistachio Butter Expands to Major U.S. Retailers

Peppertux pistachio butter is no longer confined to specialty food aisles. The product is now stocked in the nut butter sections of Costco pistachio butter alongside established brands, and the brand is also expanding into Wegmans, HEB, Meijer, and Gelson’s.

The expansion follows a years-long run at local markets. Founders Malia and Ahat Caskurlu sold pistachio products door to door before a single buyer took the brand national. The company now offers pistachio butter, pistachio cream, a drizzle, and pistachio squares packaged as candy bars.

Quality of the nut anchors every product. Peppertux uses Antep pistachios from Turkey bearing Protected Designation of Origin status, an European Union certification that limits the name to produce cultivated in a specific region under traditional methods. The certification restricts production to a defined geographic area, giving shoppers a verifiable origin marker on a label that otherwise offers no such guarantee for most bulk pistachios.

That intensity separates nut butter from pistachio cream, a category that leans on dairy and added sugar in the style of chocolate-hazelnut spreads. Peppertux Original Pistachio Butter pairs roasted pistachios with natural beet sugar for a vegan, gluten-free, palm oil-free, seed oil-free, and cholesterol-free product. The resulting paste is thicker than average, holds visible nut pieces, and lacks the greasy mouthfeel of many nut butters.

Reviewers in a pistachio butter review describe the spread as “baklava on a spoon,” noting the flavor translates readily to toast, yogurt bowls, and baked goods. The brand enters the category amid a broader pistachio surge sparked by viral pistachio-filled desserts from Dubai.

This move brings Turkish pistachio products into mainstream retail. Shoppers seeking where to buy pistachio butter can purchase the 7-ounce Original Pistachio Butter for $14.95 online or at the retailers listed above.
