Jason Delis and Stanley Dumornay
Behind the Scenes
Manba was inspired on a humanitarian trip to Haiti by Jason Delis and Haitian born Stanley Dumornay. While there, Stanley hinted to Jason that he try Haitian peanut butter, known as manba, and typically spiced with hot peppers. An odd blend, thought Jason. He still purchased a jar from Stanley's friend and tasted it when he got back to Montreal. Instantly he understood why Haitians love their manba so much. The thick texture of ground roasted peanuts coats the palette and soothes it after the hot pepper kicks in, creating an addictive experience any peanut lover or chili head would die for! Noticing a lack of this Haitian delicacy in Montreal, Stanley and Jason teamed-up to form Dumornay Delis (dD) and launched their very own Manba in October 2015.
