However, I don't think that they grow peanuts in Germany, so I'm assuming they're from the U.S.
A lot of the Trader Joe products ARE from Germany, or France, etc. They are repackaged under their house brand label.
In Venice there is a Billa as well. Supermarkets can be a little more difficult to find there unless you know where to look.
