Frequently asked questions

Ordering

How do I place an order?

Placing an order is simple! You can order through our online site here www.ooyooyum.com/shop We also currently sell at the Northeast Minneapolis Farmers Market! Please stop by to say "Hi" and try some free samples! https://www.northeastfarmersmarket.com/markets *Do note that all orders have to be placed at least five (5) days before pick-up!



Why are there little dots in my spread?

We use whole leaf earl grey tea, cinnamon sticks and cocoa for flavoring. So, if you find any dark dots in your spread, that is the result of our use of whole, natural ingredients and our handpacked process for ooyoo.



Why is there a product "swirl" on the lid, and some empty space in my jar?

The swirl you might find on the lid of your jar is evidence of the hand-packed nature of our filling process! We pack and fill all of our jars by hand. After we wash and sanitize the jars and fill them with ooyoo, we seal the lid and invert the jars as part of our process to ensure the safest product. Because ooyoo is a such a thick and rich spread, often product will remain on the lid, and there might be some empty space in the product in the rest of the jar from this swirl. The first person who opens the jar gets to eat the swirl.



Does ooyoo contain any allergans?

Our products contain milk and honey. In addition, ooyoo is currently produced in shared commercial kitchen facility that processes common allergans such as peanuts, tree nuts, soy, gluten and shellfish. While we do our very best to omit any allergans in our products, we do not advise anyone with a severe allergy to try our product at this time.



Shipping

Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately, we do not ship internationally at this time.



Shipping is expensive! Is there any other way to get your product?
