Meet Harry’s Nut Butter: From Dublin Café Experiment to International Sensation

What started as one cook’s quest for the perfect spicy toast topping at The Fumbally Café in Dublin has grown into one of Ireland’s most beloved artisan food brands. Harry’s Nut Butter proves that the best ideas often come from the simplest moments of inspiration.

From Café Kitchen to Global Success

Harry Colley was working as a cook at Dublin’s iconic Fumbally Café when he had a craving that would change everything. “I wanted something punchy to go on toast. Something with a bit of sweetness, salt, and a good kick of spice,” Harry recalls. Drawing inspiration from satay sauces and groundnut stews, he created what would become his signature creation.

The café customers went “bananas” over this mad, addictive spread. Soon people were asking where they could buy jars to take home, so Harry started hand-making them for local markets. What began as “a bit of craic” for fun and pocket money transformed during the pandemic when markets closed and Harry pivoted to wholesale.

Today, this small but “deadly team” of food nerds, cooks, and creatives exports their bold nut butters across Ireland, the UK, and throughout Europe, with their products even reaching stores in the United States. All from one spicy toast idea.

We’re thrilled to stock the complete Harry’s Nut Butter range, including their exciting new Vegan Chocolate Nut Butter Truffles. These rich little bites blend Harry’s signature nut butters with proper dark chocolate, creating plant-based indulgence that’s “dangerously moreish” and perfect with your morning coffee.

The Harry’s Gang includes:

• Smoked Paprika – The original that started it all. Sweet, salty, smoky with just the right spicy kick. Harry’s bestseller and multiple award winner that’s “fab on toast with cheese.”
• Extra Hot – For serious heat lovers who still want full flavor. Perfect for rice bowls or with avocado when you need that proper kick.
• Pumpkin Seed Crunch – Warm spices meet toasted seed texture. Comforting and nutty, this one’s perfect for porridge on those gloomy Irish days.
• Hazelnut & Cacao – A sophisticated blend of peanut and hazelnut butter with raw cacao nibs. Outstanding on granola, in smoothies, or straight from the jar.
• Crunchy – Their classic with loads of texture and flavor. Winner of “tonnes of awards because it’s that good.
• Smooth – Freshly milled, super creamy perfection that’ll have you putting it on everything you eat.

Wellness Through Pure Enjoyment

Harry’s approach to wellness might surprise you. “To be honest, I’ve always thought of myself more as a hedonist than a health nut,” he admits. “I just really love good food. Big flavours, bold ingredients, stuff that makes you go ‘oh wow’ when you eat it.”

For Harry and his team, wellness isn’t about restriction – it’s about feeling good in yourself, physically and mentally. Food plays a huge part in that, not just eating the “right” things, but genuinely enjoying what you eat, savoring it, sharing it, and having a laugh over lunch.

This philosophy shines through every jar. Harry’s Nut Butter delivers proper nutrition wrapped in bold, exciting flavors that make healthy eating a pleasure rather than a chore.

A Message for Our Community

Harry’s wellness advice for The Wellness Pantry community is beautifully simple: “Don’t eat bad sandwiches. There’s so many of them out there and it’s not worth it.”

“If you’re going to eat, make it count. Whether it’s a sandwich, a snack, or a spoonful of nut butter straight from the jar, give yourself something proper. Something tasty. Something that actually brings you joy.”
