The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg Seasoned Virginia Peanuts, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, 32 Ounce

I used to dislike peanuts, but I recently discovered that I only dislike certain brands of peanuts. These peanuts really are large Virginia peanuts, and they always arrive fresh and crisp. The salt and pepper variety is delicious! They are not too salty nor too peppery--but just right. They are not oily at all. These are so good, I've added them to my Subscribe and Save items and have two cans delivered each month. Yum!

Yes, they are salty but that's why they are so good! If you don't like so much salt, you can shack the can before opening and most falls to the bottom. I love the salt and pepper so I do the opposite and turn upside down to get more before opening. We originally received these in a gift basket. Have ordered many times since. Nice change from regular peanuts.

I loved the flavor of these peanuts, but they are always way too salty. When I buy them, I put them in a metal strainer and give them a good shake to get as much of the salt off; then they are perfect!!! Will buy again and again!

I read the reviews before purchasing these peanuts (overpriced for what they are) hoping for the flavor of the wonderful peppered peanuts Trader Joe's carried years ago. I knew it was a risk, but when I tasted them, not only was there barely a hint of salt, there was no pepper flavor whatsoever. Son-in-law and I both give these nuts a big thumbs down as far as being peppered peanuts. Good enough as just regular barely salted nuts without a hint of pepper, but nothing more. Quality control appears to be a big issue as some batches are reported to be too salty, some are just right according to other reviewers, and too bland/peanut only flavor to others (including me). Almost no seasoning leavings in the bottom of the can and not a sign of black pepper. I won't buy these again and will opt instead to roast and pepper my own or look for a different vendor.

My wife likes peanuts. Me … not something I think about. So, I was surprised when she began ordering little cans of, I guess Planters peanuts, the Spanish kind with the little red skins everywhere, how much I liked them. They are a little salty and slightly sweet. So, when she wanted to get some Virginia Peanuts, I thought, ‘’Why not?”. But, I like salt and pepper, so I bought these. One thing I’ll give them is that they taste great, once you crunch them up. The salt and pepper ratio is just right for me. And, they are nice and big without any of those annoying little red skins to flake off an get everywhere. These are excellent Virginia Peanuts, if Virginia Peanuts are your things … I have some friends who won’t eat anything EXCEPT Virginia Peanuts, mind you. Now, however, maybe it is because these are the first Virginia Peanuts I’ve had, or maybe it’s because these aren’t quite cooked enough. But, I find them a bit too crunchy. They do NOT taste undercooked, but they are just extremely crunchy. And, whether it is a feature of Virginia Peanuts (versus Spanish Peanuts) that these peanuts aren’t as ‘sweet’ as Spanish Peanuts, or whether they don’t taste as sweet as Spanish Peanuts because this batch wasn’t cooked as long, I don’t know. Still, I liked them, and I may buy them again, but first I may buy some other brands of Virginia Peanuts to see if they are different.
